Doctor Who wins best sci-fi TV theme tune of all time!
Doctor Who has been declared the winner of a poll conducted by Totalscifionline.com to find the best sci-fi TV theme tune of all time.
Red Dwarf came in second place, while The X-Files rounded out the top three.
The original Doctor Who theme was composed by Australian composer Ron
Grainer in 1963 and arranged by Delia Derbyshire.
Derbyshire produced the iconic theme tune by combining a tape loop of a struck piano string with the sound of test oscillators and filters.
The theme tune has been reworked a number of times over the years, with the current version arranged by Murray Gold.
Matt McAllister, Editor of Totalscifionline.com says: "In addition to being one of the most popular science fiction shows ever created, Doctor Who also boasts the most iconic sci-fi theme tune.
"Grainer and Derbyshireùs theme manages to convey the outlandish quality of the show and is instantly recognisable to fans throughout the world just by its opening bars."
