An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/Z2bGbqWeSeHQoumg8p8Gog==, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

It was also the series's first exploits with computer-generated imagery, a relatively limited technology at the time. An all-computer animated opening titles sequence was introduced with this story, along with a new arrangement of the theme tune by Keff McCulloch, an appropriately electronic rendition composed entirely on a Prophet 5 Synthesiser. The logo of the series was also changed into a three-dimensionally animated part of the title sequence, and became the series logo that would stay in use until the early 1990s.

abstract
  • It was also the series's first exploits with computer-generated imagery, a relatively limited technology at the time. An all-computer animated opening titles sequence was introduced with this story, along with a new arrangement of the theme tune by Keff McCulloch, an appropriately electronic rendition composed entirely on a Prophet 5 Synthesiser. The logo of the series was also changed into a three-dimensionally animated part of the title sequence, and became the series logo that would stay in use until the early 1990s. Following the circumstances of Colin Baker's exit from the role, the Sixth Doctor was made to immediately regenerate into the Seventh Doctor at the start of this story. Baker was offered the chance to reprise the role of the Sixth Doctor in a proposed regeneration story, but he declined; he instead asked to be given a full season for his departure, but the denial of this request prompted him to turn down the reprisal. As a result, a pre-credits sequence was added into Time and the Rani featuring the Doctor's regeneration, with McCoy portraying both the Sixth and Seventh Doctors (to hide this, his face remained hidden until the end of the regeneration sequence). The cause of the Sixth Doctor's regeneration is not explicitly shown on-screen, although he is seen being thrown across the console room as the TARDIS is pulled down during flight by the Rani. Spiral Scratch and The Brink of Death both provide narratives for the Sixth Doctor's regeneration, with both retroactively leading into the events of this serial.
