Doctor Who at.the Proms 9

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.

Rofl, whoever edited the clips at 1:00 for The Doctor's theme did a good job of making it look like the Doc blew up earth.

Doc: *runs and pushes lever*

*earth explodes*

Doc: *happy face*

the man singing son for ten is crap

[GloriousApilonia]

The singer looks like they dragged some Hobo off the street, slapped him into a suit and shoved him out onto the stage with the lyrics.

@trainboy52w3st3rn they should have had Chameleon Circuit sing that

All of the Eclestone shots made me wish he had stayed longer, don't get me wrong Tenant was was fantastic but he was a less troubled doctor than Eclestone and I really liked that because when the Doctor wins out in The Doctor Dances he is just so elated, I don't know if I'm saying it right but because he broads more when he finally has something to celebrate it is so much better.
