Norman Taylor Norman Taylor was the uncredited BBC technician who discovered the " howl - round effect " used , to one degree or another , in " Doctor Who " title sequence s until 1979 .

Taylor ' s innovation was in precisely lighting the monitor so the light reflecting off the monitor appeared to turn into a swirling cloud pattern , when echoed back through the camera . He had a relatively difficult time in " selling " the utility of his discovery within the BBC hierarchy , until it was picked up as possible way to start " Doctor Who " .

He was paid £25 for it after it was used in " Doctor Who " . In later life , he claimed to have been " somewhat miffed that Bernard Lodge got the credit " for the title sequence " when all he did was to produce one white on black caption " .
