Murray Gold Returns To “Doctor Who”

BBC

Russell T. Davies isn’t the only one from the past of “Doctor Who” that’s coming back for the new run.

Composer Murray Gold has joined the sci-fi drama series and once again will work with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales on his musical scores.

Gold’s iconic music defined the sound of “Doctor Who” for over a decade – starting with Christopher Eccleston’s run in 2005 and continuing as the show’s musical director until 2017 and the end of Peter Capaldi’s run.

He exited in early 2018, with Segun Akinola taking over the music through Jodie Whittaker’s run in the role.

Gold says in a statement: “I’m so happy to be invited back for another joyful ride in the TARDIS. I didn’t think twice. Working with Russell and his team is just a pleasure.”

Gold’s work will first be heard in the three November specials featuring David Tennant as The Fourteenth Doctor and then in the episodes starring Ncuti Gatwa as The Fifteenth Doctor, beginning over Christmas.

The new iteration of the show will air internationally on Disney+ and remain on the BBC in the UK.
