They were credited with "titles" on the following episodes: Nevertheless, their title sequence was used, in its basic form, until it was wholly retired after The Angels Take Manhattan. It's unclear why they received no credit during series 6, where the only obvious change to their work was the addition of Arthur Darvill's name.
