Depends on which version of the Dr. Who theme.

The original version is very probably the coolest piece of music ever composed without using synthesizers or theremins. The synth-heavy '80s mix was not quite in the same league.

Loved both TV shows but Dr Who (the extended version in the 70s with the high bits ) wins hands down, one of my fav pieces of music of all time.

Orbital did a pretty cool 'techno' version of the Dr Who theme a few years back.

The Thunderbirds theme has a great 'military' feel to it.

Both are classics.

Actually it was the 80s version that gave me goosebumps, this one:

Thats a great clip Wedgie.

Can just about remember back as far as Patrick Troughton...it was th pictures that scared me as a kiddie...the way the faces morphed in and out.

Not easy to compare the two themes though...likt trying to compare Led Zep with Louis Armstrong...I like both at times :roll: :wink:

Could have been worse...might be this instead of Thunderbirds...god I hated this song :lol:

Make that 4-2 Mr. 66, on the proviso that we're talking about the original '60s version.

I didn't think the current one is all that bad.
