came across this video [ https://youtu.be/cTUdzhKuSsU ] on hidden words in theme tunes. i've been hearing the 'hidden words' in different themes for ages, but no one seems to get it when i bring it up. 

anyways, i was thinking about the doctor who theme, which also sounds like a timelord heartbeat. i don't think it was intentional, because the two hearts thing wasn't established at that time tmk. what a neat coincidence.

the drums that the master hears also follow the same rhythm. its catchy in universe [0], and catchy to us as fans because we've been hearing it every week. crazy, right?
