Um, wait, so now we ONLY have "Doctor Who (70s version)"? I suppose that's better than only having "Doctor Who (Murray Gold version)" but still, I'm pretty sure that satisfies nobody.

Can we please just have a single "Doctor Who" entry, basically?

Well, as far as I was concerned the majority vote on the nominating thread *was* to have a single entry... there was lots of discussion and that seemed to be the general consensus.

― good naber He help get undr control (sic), Wednesday, 14 November 2012 20:59 (twelve years ago)
People sure are cranky about Doctor Who themes.
If you like a Doctor Who theme, vote for a Doctor Who theme. If it places (which I'm certain it will), discuss which versions are best and worst at that time. For now, just consider any vote for Doctor Who a vote for Doctor Who.

Whatever, you guys! I'm just saying that a hoy hoy should count all votes for Doctor Who together and when it places we can all sort out the good ones from the bad.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 14 November 2012 22:19 (twelve years ago)
We already did this conversation in the other thread! The majority of people thought it was better to just have one 'Doctor Who' entry! Which is probably why nothing else got nominated, b/c we thought it'd get fixed to just say 'Doctor Who'!
The main reason why I'm so het up about this is because it so easily deserves to win and I will be PISSED OFF if it misses out b/c of confusing entries.

I think when I roll out shows with multiple voting options, for the top one I'm going to calculate a bit in brackets saying (Show X + Show X 80s Cocaine Version + Show X Suicide Theme would have come #11 with 4999 points).

What with everything going on I didn't have time to vote in this :(Crockett's theme is the most nostalgic music EVER, it was on a bank ad in the 80s and then a similar one was in a milk ad.
