@Fanatic_Foremem bout time I'm all for the time-war grit. However, all that drama was held on to for over 15 years. The writing was and will get wonky at moments, but I'd like to see just where this story will go now. New Era, New doctor
@@AJ-wc1rt I absolutely can? Cause I'm a Doctor Who fan? Do you NOT read into a characters quirks past the surface and actually think about what's within and outside their characters range?
It's... actually a lot more jovial than I had expected it to be. Off the music alone you can detect some fun, some under current of seriousness, but ultimately an adventurous Doctor. Murray Gold came back like he never left.
yeah it's my personal theory that the fifteenth doctor is the first time since the time war the doctor has been truly happy thanks to the bi regeneration thing he found at least some inner peace no longer wayed down by guilt of the time war surrounded by friends at unit and honestly after all he's been through he deserves it
For someone who (per Ncuti Gatwa) "fits in everywhere and nowhere", Fifteen sounds like a total champion - lots of running, bomb defusing, life saving, powerful speach making, in short definitely the Doctor. Fifteen, I'm looking forward to "meeting" you properly.
Yeah, alright love.... I think the Doctor will dislike his 15th incarnation if the TARDIS materialises in Rwanda circa 1994.... or Mississippi in the nineteenth century... He certainly won't be blending in that's for sure lol.

Holy Shit!, I'd never spotted that! I guess I'd gotten so swept up in the theme's style & arrangement that I hadn't taken time to dwell on the melodies being used. If this theme had been orchestrated in a more traditional, cinematic way (like most of the music) I'd have probably spotted it but because it sounds so fresh & different, I missed it. Murray's a god damn genius!
More like 12's to me but then that was by far my fave ever! It similarly had a slow build up - albeit - with 1 - a million times more "enchanting"! (I mean a good man, obv, ujsed to best effect when he saw all those skulls if u know when i mean)/
I think he's a fantastic composer, and I am looking forward to hearing what's he goind to do in this new era, but i did really like Segun Akinola's stuff because it was so different, and i do look forward to the day when we get a new composer, because it will allow Doctor Who to do what it does best - evolve. Still i really like what i've heard so far
2:16 onwards is so being used so much in the series and is probably my favourite part of this theme it feels like those cool badass moments in 11 and 12s themes
@@whateversonmymind6690 well firstly it's the official theme. Secondly because of how Murray's music works with those big epic fast paced moments in the music are always used to death either exactly or with variations.
Definately has similar vibes to 11ths theme in the sense it is whimscal and energetic. I do hope there are variants which are more emotional and deep like the 9th and 10ths doctors themes
Now this is amazing. I feel like a lot of new media don't value the concept of a good character-specific theme. This has soul, energy, character and feelings just like it should be.
Never have I felt quite like the new actor is "The Doctor" as Gatwa managed with just his first few seconds of screen time. That charisma, charm, confidence, compassion. Let's go honey!
You can always tell a lot about a particular Doctor just based on their themes. I think that's clearly evident with 9-12. This has a sort of 80's action hero feel to it, and I love it.
God i hope they really use this in its full glory at some point during the finale. I’m absolutely craving a big epic “doctor saves the day” scene with this blasting out of the tv.

You say that as if Murray Gold’s work is completely devoid of artistic merit just because some of it fits into a genre. Keep in mind, he’s also composed companion themes, the more whimsical music of 11’s era, and various villain/horror themes. He did the cyberman theme, The Dark and Endless Dalek Night, Vale Decem, among other classics, but noooooo it’s all generic action movie soundtrack.
Definitely not what I expected, but certainly not unwelcome! The first thing I thought was 'Thunderbirds' or 'marching band' which gives kind of militaristic or prideful kind of vibes, but when I hit the 2:17ish mark I got the 'oh yeah, I can imagine him doing something Doctory and badass to this'. (Also the Matt Smith 'I am the Doctor' vibes were heavy with that repeating motif underneath that rising choral line building towards the climax.) On the whole then, out of the three new themes we've got, this one certainly surprised me the most (which is in no way a bad thing), but what I'm hoping for is that we get to hear some alternate versions of this theme with different instrumentations and performance styles since I truly believe that this theme has so much potential with its versatility and ability to really tell us who Fifteen is! Amazing work as ever Murray Gold, and I can't wait to hear more before too long!
I agree on the versatility front I kind of think of the halo theme where it doesn't change much but the pacing and the rhythm to give the melody different feels for different situations i feel that could work quite well for this theme like just those slight alterations to utilise it and give an emotional lift to certain moments with the character

Murray Gold has truly come in clutch for this new era of Doctor Who. This theme sounds like a more brass heavy rendition/continuation of I am the Doctor, and I'm here for it. In RTD, We Trust.
I love that you can tell the kind of Doctor Ncuti will be through his theme. Daring, Dashing, and Determined. Almost as if bits of the Third Doctor are in there.
It gets cooler and cooler the more times I listen to it! I could totally see (or rather hear) 2:41 playing after 14 regenerates into 15. Seeing as the theme is already out there, it wouldn't be too far a stretch to assume we'll hear it in the 60th anniversary specials, never mind the Christmas special!
I remember when I heard this before 15's premiere, I was in awe at how amazing this theme was. Like 11 and 12s theme you immediately know WHAT kind of Doctor 15 is without seeing even a second of him on screen. This Doctor is clever, heroic, and quickthinking, with an affinity for vintage aesthetic. Murray Gold is the absolute GOAT!
Oh man, the energy of this track! That transition at 2:16 is SO uplifting, and I love it! Bravo Mr. Gold. Excitement for the new era is building... I feel so sad that Jodie missed out on the RTD/Gold magic.
@@killgriffinnow I can't tell if you're being critical of Jodie or not, but I think her performance was great considering how awful some of the scripts were. Brilliant actor who deserved better, more consistent writing.
@@killgriffinnow Jodie did the best she could with what she was given i would avoid placing blame on her i think she had potential to be a brilliant doctor but she was written and planned out so poorly with no deeper characterization like when she actually gets some good writing in villa diodati we see that potential its just a shame we never got to see her full range. also the soundtrack is one of the few good things the Chibnall era gave us like there are some solid tracks they just where not utilized well
Very lively, energetic, exuberant, perfectly apt for Ncuti. And as so many have also said, it's also very James Bond. This is a theme that could fit well with the Third Doctor. The only thing I hope for is it doesn't get overplayed like I Am the Doctor was, as great as that theme is.
Right? His version already feels well established. It seems like RTD is consciously moving away from the tortured guilt ridden Doctor that has been established since 2005 (they acknowledge it as such) and this version is looking forward to fun adventures rather than running away from the past. Can't wait for the season to start properly.
It’s like a child going out to explore for the first time, Maybe its because he was pulled out from the old doctor? Does this make him technically the Doctors child?
I thought I wouldn't really be too keen on this... but boy was I wrong! The more I listened, the more I kept thinking; "I can see where this would fit in various scenes. Totally love it! Thank you for sharing this.
I love how Fifteen contains variations on other themes (which is exactly what the character of the Doctor is) whilst bringing a whole new child-like sense of fun and world-saving bombast to things. I immediately picture the 15th Doctor grabbing someone’s hand, running down corridors with them whilst the villains explode in the background. Wonderful.
The more I listen to this theme, the more I like it. This time around, I think something’s clicked with me that didn’t prior: This theme has an old-time feel to it, late 60s to early 70s (very Western to me) but with the bombastic/operatic nature of Murray’s music. In short: A piece of music that brings the old with the new, a piece of music that stands anywhere and is able to fit in… a piece that perfectly describes The Doctor.
I love that this theme references 10, 11 and 12, it shows that RTD and Murray aren't thinking of making seasons 1-4 again but truly something new and exciting that draws on the shows extensive past years.
I wasn't super sure how to feel about the theme when I listened to it a couple months ago but hearing it in the show it clicked instantly. Very much looking forward to hearing it a bunch more!
When i hear this its almost like its saying it took 5 regenerations to resolve all the conflict from the time war and that this doctor is now renewed and ready to live again
0:54-1:37 is exceptionally heroic but you can hear the brass itself playing something that could be eluding to more. A somewhat darker undertone. A side of the coin that is always kept hidden well by the Doctor's hand. A side that, in all of the pain and suffering of Chibnall's writing we've had to endure, I am so so craving to explore once more. DOCTOR WHO IS BACK BABY WOOOOOOOO
The shuffling beat and chord progression are definitely designed to lead right into the main Doctor Who theme whenever they want. Right at the end of the hook, just drop into the iconic three notes.
I thought the show was dead, I had accepted it. Then I saw the trailer for the 60th and I started smiling like a child. I realized I forgot that feeling
@@MrTriplej79 I very much felt the same way, when watching the specials, I legit cried because it really felt like a return to form. A return to what made me fall deeply in love with the show in the first place. It very much was a feeling that I didn't know that I was missing but upon having it back it was very enlightening :D
Absolutely love it, so much energy! Really embodies doctor who's chaos and energy and of course the 15th doctor!! What an absolute LEGEND murray gold is. So excited!!!

@@Bohonda If RTD stays after Ncuti it will be for Helena Bonham Carter, I said it here first. From her Noele Gordon role, RTD and her apparently got on like "a house on fire".
@@db5094Tennant is the 14th Doctor. Like 11 was told by Tom Baker’s Doctor at the end of their special, sometimes in the future he might revisit some favourite faces.
@@saberhap2639 nah, it was great. Wild Blue yonder in particular was fantastic. But I’m guessing you’re problems with the episodes are something along the lines of “too woke” or some other ridiculous nonsense like that.
Everone says this theme sound extremely jovial and heroic, but I feel it's more of a "good vs evil" theme. In the beginning, after the marching bit (0:19 - 1:38) you have this chaotic mix of trumpets and woodwing, plus this continuos drumbeat that give the theme this seriousness vibe to it. It kind of reminds me of somthing out of Fantasia 2000 during the Chernabog scene, like a hero meeting the big baddie and fighting to survive. After this point it starts to become more uplifting like the tides are beginning to turn in the hero's favor. with the string instrument raising in pitch, and then once 2:10 hits, victory starts to look on the horizon, bringing in a chior and and an electrical guitar of all things, really putting forth the idea the hero's won. Keeping in mind that RTD and Gatwa have both teased that 15 might face some serious hardships, I think it really fits. The Doctor whose going to over come the worst of himself and whatever comes his way.
@@pagewilliams117 He has some nice tracks but Gold just knows what DW needs. Too much of the music in 13s era might as well just be royalty free music. Even the best just feels like its trying to vaguely imitate Gold.

You can tell by the music alone, Ncuti's Doctor is no longer a Doctor weighted down by guilty or anger. He's back to being the classic era Doctors.

@@killgriffinnow Jodie did the best she could with what she was given i would avoid placing blame on her i think she had potential to be a brilliant doctor but she was written and planned out so poorly with no deeper characterization like when she actually gets some good writing in villa diodati we see that potential its just a shame we never got to see her full range. also the soundtrack is one of the few good things the Chibnall era gave us like there are some solid tracks they just where not utilized well
Very lively, energetic, exuberant, perfectly apt for Ncuti. And as so many have also said, it's also very James Bond. This is a theme that could fit well with the Third Doctor. The only thing I hope for is it doesn't get overplayed like I Am the Doctor was, as great as that theme is.
2:16 When you are taking your dog for walkies and he doesn't wanna go.
Lol yes
Why is this already the best Doctors’s theme? I only got Ncuti on screen for a few moments tonight and I already absolutely LOVE him as The Doctor
Right? His version already feels well established. It seems like RTD is consciously moving away from the tortured guilt ridden Doctor that has been established since 2005 (they acknowledge it as such) and this version is looking forward to fun adventures rather than running away from the past. Can't wait for the season to start properly.

I couldn't agree with you more!
It’s like a child going out to explore for the first time, Maybe its because he was pulled out from the old doctor? Does this make him technically the Doctors child?
I dunno what it is but it has modern pokemon boss trainer music vibes and I LOVE it for that
The 11th Doctor reference at the end!!! It's so joyful.
I thought I wouldn't really be too keen on this... but boy was I wrong! The more I listened, the more I kept thinking; "I can see where this would fit in various scenes. Totally love it! Thank you for sharing this.
2:50
Is that just a hint of I am the Doctor I hear??
awesome theme, all hail the return of the king
There is yes
Thank god, Murray Gold is back. Nailed it!
This honestly sounds soooo good. I’m so excited to see how he get’s on playing the iconic character. Can’t wait.
I love how Fifteen contains variations on other themes (which is exactly what the character of the Doctor is) whilst bringing a whole new child-like sense of fun and world-saving bombast to things. I immediately picture the 15th Doctor grabbing someone’s hand, running down corridors with them whilst the villains explode in the background. Wonderful.
AAAAAAAHHHH FINALLY GETTING TO HEAR THIS IN THE SPECIAL WAS GLORIOUS
The more I listen to this theme, the more I like it. This time around, I think something’s clicked with me that didn’t prior: This theme has an old-time feel to it, late 60s to early 70s (very Western to me) but with the bombastic/operatic nature of Murray’s music. In short: A piece of music that brings the old with the new, a piece of music that stands anywhere and is able to fit in… a piece that perfectly describes The Doctor.
Feels like cramming for an exam but somehow knowing you're gonna ace it
I love how this theme just gives off the vibe: I'm going to just jump into this chaos without a clue of what it is just because why not.
It sounds like a mixture of a Western and… Bond?! 👀👀
I thought that, too. Galloping hooves with a "spy" theme on top.
Bond if bond had good music
@@JasTheFaggeIt already does.
I love it! Love the bass clarinet present throughout
I love that this theme references 10, 11 and 12, it shows that RTD and Murray aren't thinking of making seasons 1-4 again but truly something new and exciting that draws on the shows extensive past years.
I wasn't super sure how to feel about the theme when I listened to it a couple months ago but hearing it in the show it clicked instantly. Very much looking forward to hearing it a bunch more!
When i hear this its almost like its saying it took 5 regenerations to resolve all the conflict from the time war and that this doctor is now renewed and ready to live again
0:54-1:37 is exceptionally heroic but you can hear the brass itself playing something that could be eluding to more. A somewhat darker undertone. A side of the coin that is always kept hidden well by the Doctor's hand. A side that, in all of the pain and suffering of Chibnall's writing we've had to endure, I am so so craving to explore once more.
DOCTOR WHO IS BACK BABY WOOOOOOOO
The shuffling beat and chord progression are definitely designed to lead right into the main Doctor Who theme whenever they want. Right at the end of the hook, just drop into the iconic three notes.
Goddamn it feels good to be a Doctor Who fan again. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get that feeling back.
Doctor who broke the curse that afflict so many franchises i've used to love...
I thought the show was dead, I had accepted it. Then I saw the trailer for the 60th and I started smiling like a child. I realized I forgot that feeling
@@MrTriplej79 I very much felt the same way, when watching the specials, I legit cried because it really felt like a return to form. A return to what made me fall deeply in love with the show in the first place. It very much was a feeling that I didn't know that I was missing but upon having it back it was very enlightening :D
It sounds so bouncy, and the letimoffs are so nice! Glad we got this theme for him!
Glad to see that 14's "therapy out of order" paid off. 15 is back to business, now fully recovered from the time war.
Absolutely love it, so much energy! Really embodies doctor who's chaos and energy and of course the 15th doctor!! What an absolute LEGEND murray gold is. So excited!!!
I AM SO READY FOR 15! 15's introduction *chef's kiss*!
Murray Gold is go good at finding new melodies and rhythms within existing pieces and making them still sound new, fresh and iconic.
I think this version of The Doctor is going to be a Swashbuckling Scoundrel who likes dangerous situations and is fun for him!
2:48 I hear you "All the strange strange creatures"!
Murray Gold will always find a place for that piece! From 2007 it's first use to 2024...
Also sounds a bit like ‘Locked on’ from Series 6 soundtrack. Dramatic bit of music that was used in The Doctors Wife
@@lew5547 Yep it was used a lot through series 3-10 especially the Matt Smith era!
I can just imagine the Bass Clarinettist staring at Murray when they saw the sheet music for the first time 😂 Like “Yeah, I’m gonna need some oxygen tanks after this”
As a tuba player who always wanted better bass runs I’m insanely envious of this bass clarinet scoring
yeah I know him really well and he was thrilled!!!
This is absolutely brilliant. I haven't been this excited about doctor who since jodie had her debut
Everything after that was a disaster
It was a bummer that her era was so bad, she's a really good actress
@@Bohonda If RTD stays after Ncuti it will be for Helena Bonham Carter, I said it here first. From her Noele Gordon role, RTD and her apparently got on like "a house on fire".
Words cannot explain how happy I am that Murray Gold is back
I've been listening to this all day, it absolutely SLAPS
The GOAT of doctor who music returns. Warm, tense, heroic, charming. Finally get to be excited about doctor who again!
These are gonna be an amazing few years for doctor who
After quitting the show in 2018 I'm glad to be back. I knew as soon as RTD was announced to be returning that Murray Gold would likely join him.
Wow. His music. His music is like lightning.
Wow.
I don't even have words for this.
Love 15th doctor theme , sounds action packed 😍
I'm sorry, who was 14? Was it the second tennant regeneration or?
@@db5094Tennant is the 14th Doctor. Like 11 was told by Tom Baker’s Doctor at the end of their special, sometimes in the future he might revisit some favourite faces.
We are so fucking back
Hell yeah! I’m pumped as fuck!
sadly we are not back@@attckonutube
@@saberhap2639 nah, it was great. Wild
Blue yonder in particular was fantastic. But I’m guessing you’re problems with the episodes are something along the lines of “too woke” or some other ridiculous nonsense like that.
I am totally in love with 15th Doctor's theme! Murray Gold is an absolute genius 💙
Somehow, this theme was instantly memorable: even the short segment of it we heard in "The Giggle" rang in my ears for days! Such a fun theme!
60th specials absolutely knocked it out of the PARK. Brilliant!
I love how jaunty and confident this theme is. I'm so excited for the new doctor, he'll be amazing with a badass theme.
15th Doctor: "I love you... Get out." *begins to set off TARDIS*
Donna: "Oh no! I'm not doing that again!" *quickly dashes off*
Everone says this theme sound extremely jovial and heroic, but I feel it's more of a "good vs evil" theme. In the beginning, after the marching bit (0:19 - 1:38) you have this chaotic mix of trumpets and woodwing, plus this continuos drumbeat that give the theme this seriousness vibe to it. It kind of reminds me of somthing out of Fantasia 2000 during the Chernabog scene, like a hero meeting the big baddie and fighting to survive. After this point it starts to become more uplifting like the tides are beginning to turn in the hero's favor. with the string instrument raising in pitch, and then once 2:10 hits, victory starts to look on the horizon, bringing in a chior and and an electrical guitar of all things, really putting forth the idea the hero's won. Keeping in mind that RTD and Gatwa have both teased that 15 might face some serious hardships, I think it really fits. The Doctor whose going to over come the worst of himself and whatever comes his way.
they did an excellent job at making us instantly like him
Geniuenly so glad to have Murray Gold back. The last 3 seasons felt like a fever dream.
Nah some of Seguns music absolutely slaps. It's just a different style
@@pagewilliams117 He has some nice tracks but Gold just knows what DW needs. Too much of the music in 13s era might as well just be royalty free music. Even the best just feels like its trying to vaguely imitate Gold.
there was music? i dont remember any of it@@pagewilliams117
After watching the giggle, this has to be my favourite doctor theme to date 🤩🤩🤩
I am so overjoyed to have Murray gold back, it wasn’t doctor who without him
This is one of the best themes of the whole series! Murray gold never fails to amaze me. I am so excited for ncuti as the doctor, he’s gonna be fantastic!!
“Where's he going?”
“Everywhere.”
“Good luck.”
It really gives me the vibes of a Final Fantasy battle theme, while still being very Doctor Who
The Final Fantasy comparison is really accurate! They are indeed similar.
Yes! That was my first thought. The beginning almost gives me One Winged Angel vibes. I found myself chanting that Latin stuff over it.
Yeah Bomber Mission
Woah you are so right it does give me final fantasy vibes!!!
I thought it sounded like Dragon Ball Z music lol
2:16 I always imagine 15 sliding down a bannister or something at this part!
I'll be honest, I really wasn't a fan at first. But tonight's episode sold this theme for me. It's a great piece
Wow. Just, wow.
That bit with the choir gave me chills.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite Who themes! I can't stop listening to it! Wonderful job once again, Mr. Gold!
God it still absolutely baffles me that Murray Gold hasn’t officially released this, ruby’s theme and the 60th anniversary soundtracks yet.
I know, right?
Still waiting for series 10 😭
Probably by the end of the season. Series 10 however...
I bloody love it! Sounds like adventure, danger and the doctor! It had me imagining how epic scenes from the upcoming show will be with this playing 🔥
Mr Golds Platinum is Back. If you only need one reason to Watch Dr Who, its Murray Golds sound tracks. Brilliant
Every day I listen to this piece. Somehow recharges my XP bar.
Loved it.
