Doctor Who at.the Proms 1

Doctor Who Proms was a concert showcasing incidental music from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, along with classical music, performed as part of the BBC's annual Proms season on 27 July 2008 in the Royal Albert Hall in London. The Proms are a series of classical concerts presented yearly at the Royal Albert Hall, aimed at a broader and more populist audience than typically attends classical music concerts, with tickets available at a low cost. The Doctor Who Prom was the thirteenth concert in the 2008 Proms season, and was "expressly designed to introduce young children to concert-going.

The Doctor Who Prom showcased the work of Murray Gold, who has composed the incidental music for Doctor Who since its return in 2005. Other classical pieces were also played. The concert was conducted by Ben Foster and Stephen Bell, and performed by the BBC Philharmonic. It was presented by actress Freema Agyeman, who played companion Martha Jones on Doctor Who. Other Doctor Who actors and performers dressed as Doctor Who monsters also made appearances on stage and in the audience. The concert included video montages of scenes from Doctor Who and a specially filmed "mini-episode" of Doctor Who called "Music of the Spheres", which was presented on a screen above the orchestra and included live interactive elements.

The Doctor Who Prom was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and recorded for subsequent television broadcast on BBC One on 1 January 2009. It was positively reviewed in several newspapers.
