At first, the strings' dissonant chords seep of foreboding mystery, painting images of luminous eyes in the dark who wait patiently with claws (or any variation thereupon), ready to strike. Suddenly a lively rhythm stomps across the tempo, forcing its way through by gnashing and tearing apart any diffident notes. It's an ordinary day for the Doctor. He knows the game is on. If anything, this theme awakens memories of the Tenth Doctor dashing through space ships shouting "Allons-y!" as he's caught in the adrenaline rush that follows impending danger.
