As someone who grew up with DOCTOR WHO from the earliest Hartnell years to the present -- I found this incredibly moving and very uplifting. Thank you for posting it. I would have missed out otherwise

[@h0lly_blue]

wish there was a light on the drummer there because damn he was really shifting it into maximum overdrive for this one

[@TheOriginalPurpledog]

This gave me goosebumps. :3

[@octopathtimetraveler5881]

TheOriginalPurpledog not really for me. This doesn’t make sense because I only get goosebumps when I watch incredibly cringy stuff. But doctor who isn’t cringy.

Theme composed by Ron Grainer, not Murray Gold.

[@UnchainedEruption]

Actually the modern version they use now is different from the version Ron Grainer wrote, which is why in the album it's credited to Murray Gold.

[@ExplosiveCookie]

It's Murray Gold's arrangement - still Grainer's composition, even if altered and tweaked.

[@UnchainedEruption]

Explosive Cookie No it’s different from Grainer’s original arrangement.
All the classic Dr. Who themes are credited to Ron Grainer despite many different arrangements, because they all follow Ron Grainer’s notes. Gold does not.

Alex F yeah true.

[@daveyporks]

Love it

[@TVperson1]

For the sake of symmetry, they should have played it on 21.11.12 !!

[@octopathtimetraveler5881]

Awesome.

[@Dalek5678]

You went to the Symphonic spectacular in Sydney twice. Wow.

[@TimeKaiser]

I bet that date really was doomsday and that the Doctor stopped it from happening.

[@IHOMilk]

Posted on the supposed doomsday. Can't be coincidence.

[@SimpleWolfStudios]

if we were going to die, might as well go off with a bang

[@dubleo99]

Doomsday omg

[@S1RC0llingwood]

Palendromic number :)

[@NobleChristina]

wowlol

[@sslaxx]

Ron Grainer composed the theme. Murray Gold arranged it. Shame on you for not knowing about one of your own country's best-known composers!

[@jakecunliffe9113]

sslaxx The modern versions is different to the ones that Grainer wrote, which is why Gold is credited in all of the modern themes (except the new one obviously).
