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.

It has an almost thunderbirds-esque march to it. That unmistakable combination of tension and optimism that oozes style and suspense.

[@pufferfancyfish]

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

[@DonnaLang42rockglobally]

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.

[@rnw2739]

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.

[@RyanMorrisonMusic]

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

[@Duckiman]

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.

[@nasmythpreacher3260]

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!

This actually may be my new favourite theme, and Ncuti has skyrocketed to my second favourite Doctor after Tennant. He's so energetic, and he has heart but he's got a positive outlook - his traumatic past isn't forgotten, and he still gets angry in the face of death and injustice, but he maintains this amazing lightheartedness in spite of, or because of it (a quote from Smith's era was something along the lines of, 'he saw all this pain and suffering, and all it did was make him kind' - I really love this interpretation of the Doctor). I loved Whittaker's character, but the writing for her episodes was so poor it ruined her seasons, which was so upsetting because she could have been something like *this*. Fifteen's theme represents Ncuti's Doctor perfectly.

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.

[@NathanSmith-r6g]

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!

[@tivednagol9127]

If this theme doesn’t play during Fifteen’s “I am the Doctor” moment, we riot.

[@squallsoft]

Oh yes

[@ExplodingJellyfish]

Words cannot explain how happy I am that Murray Gold is back

[@DylanrHay]

cant wait to hear this tonight in cinemas!!

[@sheersternfeld1914]

Wow. His music. His music is like lightning. Wow. I don't even have words for this.

[@gunmasterx1164]

We got people complaining already about Ncuti's first episode, give his first season a chance.

[@PangolinGL]

Fr it took Peter Capaldi a full season to work properly in my opinion and only till season 10 was he at his best (he’s my favourite I like all his seasons)

[@TheWolfXCIX]

I've been listening to this all day, it absolutely SLAPS

[@kendrixhavlik3051]

they did an excellent job at making us instantly like him

[@Time-and-space11]

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!!!

[@rezurrxtion]

Murray Gold is go good at finding new melodies and rhythms within existing pieces and making them still sound new, fresh and iconic.

[@C7007]

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

[@nessileb]

Мюррей! Как я счаслива снова слышать его!

[@jasonpaulbaker1]

After watching the giggle, this has to be my favourite doctor theme to date 🤩🤩🤩

[@gaynarchist]

Geniuenly so glad to have Murray Gold back. The last 3 seasons felt like a fever dream.

[@pagewilliams117]

Nah some of Seguns music absolutely slaps. It's just a different style

[@gaynarchist]

@@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.

[@ialwayswatchyoutube812]

there was music? i dont remember any of it@@pagewilliams117

[@Cacca13]

I am totally in love with 15th Doctor's theme! Murray Gold is an absolute genius 💙

[@matthewtygert1053]

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!

[@vidhun]

I am truly excited for Ncuti Gatwa's rendition of Doctor!!

[@annahazeldine6225]

Love 15th doctor theme , sounds action packed 😍

[@db5094]

I'm sorry, who was 14? Was it the second tennant regeneration or?

[@nigel1754]

@@db5094Yeah. Tennant is officially the 10th and 14th Doctor. The show almost literally ended with 13, so they needed to revitalise it with Tennant and RTD. I think RTD intends to stay for 4 seasons. There’s also rumours and speculation that Tennant and Gatwa will spilt off during their regeneration. Leaving 14 still available in the universe to return, but we’ll see about that nonsense.

[@thomaskilroy4573]

@@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.

[@leahhoward7645]

I am so overjoyed to have Murray gold back, it wasn’t doctor who without him

[@iainpaton7673]

Mr Golds Platinum is Back. If you only need one reason to Watch Dr Who, its Murray Golds sound tracks. Brilliant

[@CeceSaysHi_950]

I hope this becomes the new I am the doctor because it gets me exited the same way 😁😁

[@Gebro_gaming891]

I'm waiting for darker version of this similar to The Majestic Tale (of a Madman in a Box)

[@MoozKIERL]

The first times hearing it, my favorite moment was 2:16 onwards. But 1:37 is growing on me. I dance to that.

[@mistamemewide]

It feels very “classic”! It feels like “oh I’m READY TO GO ON A DAMN ADVENTURE!” He’s no longer weighted down by burdens, he’s free as a bird to explore the world as needed.

[@J75Pootle]

It feels a lot like 11's theme as well, and 11 was "the man who forgets" so he was forcing himself not to be weighed down by burdens. But I think you can hear the true freedom in 15's theme from the constant marching drum - there's just that extra element of life that Smith's theme and doctor didn't have

[@MagicCardboardBox]

The GOAT of doctor who music returns. Warm, tense, heroic, charming. Finally get to be excited about doctor who again!

[@Artbytoph]

There's so much energy in this and I'm here for it

[@bdletoast09]

Not me, bopping on Fifteenth's theme. God, I can't wait for his first "big speech" moment with this music taking off in the background.

[@Western-mc8dg]

I think this is the most excited I’ve been for doctor who since Matt smith arrived on scene

[@joshuabennett1756]

15: Now you two if you don’t mind there’s a great big universe out there calling and I’ve got to get going so off you pop old man 14: your the old man your older than me 15: ok kid I love you get out.

[@shemdellashemygd29]

😂

[@CodenameBobby1]

The more I listen to it the more I love it!

[@josephskinner4852]

This has to be one of the best Doctor Themes ever made. I adore 11s, but 15s is used more scarcely meaning when it builds up you know he’s about to do something really amazing (my favourite being when 15 takes the dog for a walk iykwim) Murray never misses!

[@stuff31]

a rizzworthy song for the most rizzfull doctor

[@quintessentialquinten-bm4pj]

true and real

[@chuckoneill2023]

Wow. Just, wow. That bit with the choir gave me chills.
