5 Best & Worst Doctor Who Songs Of All Time

It's like music to your ears. Or not.

by Joel Cornah
Music has always been an integral part of Doctor Who. Not just in the show, but outside it, too. The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, for example, revolutionised television soundtracks - the famous theme music is now so iconic that it's been heard in every corner of the globe and the current composer, Murray Gold, plays Doctor Who music to packed out auditoriums. Beyond the show itself there have been many pop groups, punk bands and even regular fans who have picked up a guitar and celebrated their favourite time traveller. A few years back there were even a couple of bands storming into the iTunes charts with Doctor Who songs and albums. Sometimes these songs are wonderful and exciting. Sometimes they make you well and truly cringe. This article will explore some of the best (or possibly worst, depending on your point of view) songs about the show that have surfaced over the years, from the biggest popstars of the past to the more recent internet sensations. Be warned, though, because some of these will get stuck in your head all day, and that wouldn't necessarily be a good thing, either...

Joel Cornah, is an author hailing from a small isolated village in Lancashire. Having told stories of dinosaurs, penguins and dragons to his younger siblings for nigh on two decades, it soon became apparent that these tales needed to be written down. Gathering the myriad of maps, family trees, illustrations and noted ideas, he began work on the world of dyngard. Having grown along with the audience from a collection of loosely related children’s stories, it became a whole world of adventure, magic and questions. He was awarded a degree in Creative Writing from Liverpool John Moors University and spent seven years writing a comical newspaper for The Barrow Downs Tolkien discussion forum. Currently running a charity café in Parbold village, Joel is often found deep in discussion of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the long history of Doctor Who, and desperately trying not to frighten people away. Often with limited success.
