Product Description
CD Description
Doctor Who on Christmas Day has now become part of the yuletide tradition in the UK almost rivalling the seasonal greats such as Morecambe & Wise, The Queen's Speech and EastEnders. The 2010 edition was the third most watched programme on December 25th with 12.1m viewers and the fourth most viewed episode since the programme's revival in 2005. The thrilling seasonal adventure starring Matt Smith as the eleventh doctor featured stellar guest stars Michael Gambon and Katherine Jenkins. The musical maestro himself, Murray Gold, provides his usual eloquent, immaculately crafted soundtrack. Opera diva Jenkins captivated audiences with Abigail's Song (Silence Is All You Know) featured on this release.

Once again Murray Gold has proved that he is the perfect man to produce the backing music for Doctor Who. His reccent soundtracks have all been excellent my personal favourite being the specials edition for the final four episodes of David Tennants reign as the tenth Doctor. This album however has some excellent backing music of its own which takes you back through the journey of the chirstmas episode scene by scene with some wonderful music. My person favourites on this album are 'Come along pond' because it is dramatic and was the track used for the openings equence of the episode. Also the track that is my most favourite has to be 'Abigail's song' written by Murray Gold and performed by Catherine Jenkins i just think its a really nice, mood setting track which is by far the best on the album. I hope the music for series 6 is even better and i would receommned the Doctor Who music to anyone.

Good but...
The music is great but generally it feels... a little unnecessary. All of the other Christmas specials have been included in part of the other albums. Read more

Murray Gold really is gold.
Murray Gold has once again proven his skills at orchestrating new pieces instead of reusing his older pieces. Read more

WHY NO US SALES?
Why in the heck would there be "Geographical Restrictions"? I mean is the music or media itself dangerous like a new laptop from Dell? I promise it will only go in my ears! Read more

Murray Gold has done it again!
Not that I'm surprised, but it's yet another brilliant soundtrack from Murray Gold. It's exciting, it's moving and even better because it's virtually all the music from the entire... Read more

Murray Gold has done another fantastic job on this soundtrack. Unlike Doctor Who: Series 5 which had the new Doctor's theme in abundance, this release has fewer references to it,... Read more

After reading the 3 star review I felt moved to write a 5 star one, since this is by far one of the most enjoyable Doctor Who scores to date. Read more
