Doctor Who: Television Soundtrack

I must say that I was really impressed when this plopped through my front door today. I'd only ordered it from Amazon.co.uk 36 hours or so previously and taken advantage of their free delivery that can take 3-5 days.



I have not yet listened to the full CD but the purchase was worth every tiny little electronic penny for the ooo-ooo-ooo track that has been nicknamed 'Flavia's Song' (or something like that) by the production team. Mostly identified with the recurring Bad Wolf link throughout series 1, the track listing identifies it as "The Doctor's Theme".

The Westminster Bridge track is also spectacular. It was used to open episode 1 of the 2005 series and instantly grabbed attention for it's very rhythmic twang.

Congratulation must go to Murray Gold for his excellent compositions.

For anyone wondering whether to buy or not then the BBC currently have the Children in Need concert on their site for online viewing. Doctor Who: A Celebration is quite enjoyable and features a lot of good music. The various 'guest' appearances make the show even more entertaining and I sincerely hope that this will be on DVD very soon.
