Yes, I can imagine — timing the appearance of the stars and all that. Peter Howell actually liaised with Sid Sutton during the creation of the first starfield title sequence, so at least the two elements worked to the same end. Ultimately I think the sequence is too aggressive in approach for Glynn's version of the theme to sit right on the imagery. His theme did need its own sequence, but of course JNT wouldn't have imagined that Colin Baker was about to be ousted.
