Doctor Who: UNIT - A Retro Remix

Here is the final version of UNIT - a retro remix!
I've done as much as I can to make it sound 'era authentic'. The original version sounded a bit too early 80's or late 70's to sound right by my ear. I'll release it separately later. But I made sure to have some early synth sounds alongside a real drum and cymbal arrangement, and some heavy woodwinds like the bassoon which was common for BBC music of the time. There’s also a cheeky flute in the mix.
The early 70's blessed me with many scenes that fit brilliantly with the music. However, note that I focused primarily on Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (including by opening with Nicholas Courtney's favourite scene) and Captain Mike Yates, given that these are the two actors of the main UNIT 'unit' who have since passed. I will do a separate video for the Doctor's main companions who have passed in another video.
Also, if anyone noticed, my usual Doctor leitmotif videos have the Doctor leaving at the end. I deliberately placed a clip of UNIT arriving at the end of the video, to emphasise that, unlike the Doctor, UNIT is always present and around to help. Just a little nod to their service.
I'm unsure who made the sheet music/MIDI for this video. I've had it for many years. So I'm unsure who to credit. If it's yours, please let me know so I can credit you.
Enjoy!

okay that is absolutely fantastic it works so well with the Jon Pertwee stuff but I could also imagine that working with the unit stuff in the 7th doctor story Battlefield

Honestly, as different as the musical styles of Classic and Modern Who are, this is one of the few translations that works pretty much perfectly. I really can imagine this playing a lot during the Pertwee Era. Suggestions: The Doctor’s Theme/The Doctor’s Theme Series 4 in Classic Who’s Style. I personally consider it the universal theme for the Doctor (no matter the incarnation) so I have always wondered what it would have sounded like if the tune existed during Classic Who’s run.

OMG this is a masterpiece! Would've fitted in perfectly with the Pertwee era. Suggestions: Segun Akinola's Cyberman theme for the 1960s Cybermen (particularly the Moonbase/Tomb variants). Murray Gold's Dalek Theme for the 1960s Daleks.

Jodie Whittaker, Tennant 2 and Gatwa aren't canon, so Akinola's work is illegitimate

@@mattthesilent777REDDude, really? Doctor Who, like any show, has ups and downs- like OK you’re mad about the Timeless Child stuff, but it’s still canon that can be recon’d or refitted or whatever. You can’t say it’s illegitimate- Paul McGann’s Doctor literally said he’s “half-human on his mother’s side” and yet where are the alarm bells? Just be thankful this magnificent, beautiful TV SHOW has lasted, even when its “most loyal” fans try to de-“legitimize” it.

@@mattthesilent777RED I agree, but Akinola's work deserves to be praised, even if it's adhered to the worst Doctor. It's not his fault not being as good as Murray, Chibnall writing being ass, and Jodie being a bad actress
