The title sequence was redone with a 'star-field' motif. Delia Derbyshire's arrangement of the Doctor Who theme was abandoned in favour of a more dynamic, glossy and 'funky' version of it, done by Peter Howell (also of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, where Derbyshire worked previously), using synthesisers (particularily the Yamaha CS-80 and ARP Odyssey synthesisers, as well as an EMS vocoder). These wholesale alterations to the programme's opening sequence would, with relatively minor adjustments, remain in place until season 24. At the same time, Nathan-Turner decided to end composer Dudley Simpson's long association with the programme. He chose the Radiophonic Workshop to handle the incidental music for The Leisure Hive.

abstract
  • The title sequence was redone with a 'star-field' motif. Delia Derbyshire's arrangement of the Doctor Who theme was abandoned in favour of a more dynamic, glossy and 'funky' version of it, done by Peter Howell (also of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, where Derbyshire worked previously), using synthesisers (particularily the Yamaha CS-80 and ARP Odyssey synthesisers, as well as an EMS vocoder). These wholesale alterations to the programme's opening sequence would, with relatively minor adjustments, remain in place until season 24. At the same time, Nathan-Turner decided to end composer Dudley Simpson's long association with the programme. He chose the Radiophonic Workshop to handle the incidental music for The Leisure Hive. The story also brought a new uniform look for the Fourth Doctor. His coat and trademark scarf were now coloured burgundy, the latter with purple stripes. The new question mark motif premiered here on the Doctor's shirt collar and would persist throughout Nathan-Turner's era. Narratively, The Leisure Hive was an unusual story in that it was commissioned directly by the producer rather than the script editor, because Christopher H. Bidmead was not yet hired. New executive producer Barry Letts also had a significant hand in shaping the story's outline.
