rdfs:comment
  • The debut serial of the Sixth Doctor introduced a new and more colourful rendition of the starfield-themed title sequence by Sid Sutton, which featured the Sixth's Doctor's face appearing in a flash of rainbow streaks and changing from a smile to a large grin (the first time a Doctor's face was shown to change facial expressions during the title sequence), as well as a slightly redesigned version of the show's neon tube-stylised logo, now more curved in an upward arc and with the addition of blue, indigo and purple highlights. Both the new title sequence and logo remained in use to the end of Season 23.

abstract
  • The debut serial of the Sixth Doctor introduced a new and more colourful rendition of the starfield-themed title sequence by Sid Sutton, which featured the Sixth's Doctor's face appearing in a flash of rainbow streaks and changing from a smile to a large grin (the first time a Doctor's face was shown to change facial expressions during the title sequence), as well as a slightly redesigned version of the show's neon tube-stylised logo, now more curved in an upward arc and with the addition of blue, indigo and purple highlights. Both the new title sequence and logo remained in use to the end of Season 23. This story has received an especially bad track record for criticism. Three polls in 1998, 2009, and 2014 voted it the worst Doctor Who television story ever. (DWM 265, DWM 413, DWM 474) The poll in 2003 used a different voting system and The Twin Dilemma was not among the twenty-five stories which received no votes, placing it higher than last place. (DWMSE 6)
