What's your favourite version of the series intro theme?

[Willie Oleson]

I don't think it's humanly possible to make a bad version, but there are many differences.
I could be wrong but I think the Eleventh Doctor alone got three different mixes.
To clarify, it's about the music, not the visual sequences. Or mention both, if you like.

I don't know if I could choose a favourite but I really like the start of the 13th Doctor's theme when it does a sort of lurch backwards about 5 seconds in before vomiting forth the rest of it:

I mainly watched the original, 1963-'89 run and Jon Pertwee's second theme (his final season) in the autumn of 1973 was my favorite.

I just like the simplicity of the older intros.

 

[Willie Oleson]

That sounds perfectly chaotic and ominous.

I just like the simplicity of the older intros.

Those are the most spooky ones, I think, and I love that too.

For the choir vocals, and I'm a sucker for ligthning sounds in songs (does lightning actually make a sound?)

There is a 50 minutes video that has all the versions, but I'm not sure if I still appreciate the intro after watching it in one go.

This is my favourite theme and opening sequence of Doctor Who.

I pressed play on all the videos on this page at the same time and that's now my favourite version.

This is my favourite theme and opening sequence of Doctor Who.

You must explain, in at least 500 words, why.

Every intro of the Twelfth Doctor series sounds and looks like a merry WHOmas special. It's got the bells, the Christmas balls and the snowflakes.
