A special one-off concert celebrating the music of the iconic sci-fi series to mark its 60th anniversary. Recorded live in Cardiff for Radio 2’s Sunday Night is Music Night, Jo Whiley presents with exclusive interviews from showrunners past and present including Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat and Chris Chibnall. The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the BBC Singers, conducted by Alistair King, perform fan favourites from composers Murray Gold and Segun Akinola, who give insights into the music that has accompanied the Doctor and the Tardis on six decades of time travel.

The music includes composer Murray Gold's best known Doctor Who themes including I Am The Doctor, The Long Song, A Good Man and Abigail's Song (Silence Is All You Know). The classic years of Doctor Who are also featured by the Radiophonic Workshop's Mark Ayres and Peter Howell as they hark back to the days of the Sea Devils, City of Death and The Five Doctors. And there are brand-new works premiered including The Woman Who Fell To Earth, a full length suite composed by Segun Akinola and three of Murray Gold's new works, including the 15th Doctor’s theme tune. These are heard here for the very first time on television – along with a new arrangement of Delia Derbyshire’s iconic theme tune - before making their debut when the Timelord returns to our screens.
