If you look closely, you'll see that the "Doctor Who" logo is being
displayed both correctly and reversed. The reversed copy is then faded
out. For some reason, the "O" overpowers the "W" on both sides.
Presumably, they included the reversed copy so that it would look slightly
more abstract as it was faded in over the video feedback that makes up the
rest of the title sequence.
