In the final episode, the Duffer Brothers feature a song that has never appeared in any show or movie, as its creators had never allowed it to be used — until now.

Any guesses what it might be? 🎵

@MrDavidEBrown Brilliant. Clearly shows the differences between the two women’s lives, and that for all their autonomy they’re at the mercy of their boss. As a kid I assumed it was a clip from a previous episode, but I guess it was staged and shot especially for the titles?

@WhovianLife @HuwieMcChewie @0hMySt4rs @RadioTimes @jamespardon Eccleston was Colin Bell, yes.
Tennant was Matt Hollyoak (from the Next Doctor RT cover photo session, fact fans).
Matt Smith was Mark Harrison. Caplaldi is Richard Grassie. And Jodie was Ray Burmiston.
