10 Ways Russell T Davies Will Save Doctor Who

Let us be very clear: Segun Akinola brought a majesty, a beauty, a maturity, and a spirit to the score for the Thirteenth Doctor. If he were to continue on as the show's main composer, the world would be no lesser a place for it - so perhaps this entry is a little cheeky.

However, think back to 2005-era Doctor Who. The soundtrack was both cinematic, yet modern. With pieces like Doomsday, Madame de Pompadour, A Dazzling End, The Greatest Story Never Told, and The Wedding Of River Song, Murray Gold captured a fairytale via musical notes - and he never disappointed throughout his entire run.

And that's not all. It's been nine years since the last Doctor Who Proms concert, which celebrated the 50th anniversary with a combination of classic and modern music. These concerts were hugely popular, and they were a gateway for younger fans to enjoy some classical music. Monsters would walk through the crowds in costume, while beautifully thematic scales would rain down from above - it was, quite frankly, a clever tool for helping people fall in love with the show.

Akinola's music could and should play a part in this as well. If Davies can push for the return of these concerts (and even reach out to bring Gold back to the show) then it would go a long way towards solidifying Doctor Who's place in the zeitgeist once again.
