Both him and Segun Akinola are absolute legends!

@@friendlyotaku9525 lol nah just Murray Gold

Mmm... I still find his scores very intrusive at times. I don't need to be beaten over the head that this is a sad scene so I must be sad. :P

​@@tbass94truth 😂

Yes he is.

Exactly. The whole show is a bit goofy, almost parody-like, charmingly naive family treat. And then we suddenly got this one!! Scary, tragic, brilliantly and, first of all, damn seriously played, scripted and filmed true drama. Its epic music with Beethoven 7th-like vibes, the only single actor episode in the whole franchise, with this clever Grimm brothers' tale rethinking. A story of burning grief, anger, stubbornness and desperation. It's about smth that looks like fighting the windmills but actually is a cruel, atrocious battle with the impossible without even being able to see the end result. All the billions of copies of Doctor died without seeing he won in the end. And this is a story of amazing wholesomeness of a character: billions and billions of times he did exactly the same things!! He always made the same choices! And that's what made him win.

Truly a work of art

That episode is my prime example of why ratings numbers need so much context that they are essentially meaningless by themselves. Ratings wise it was one of the worst episodes of nu who but EVERYONE knows it was an absolute tour de force ratings numbers be damned.

I know I'm probably going to get slack for this, but I consider the entire Series 9 finale trilogy to be one of the best stories ever in the show. Heaven Sent truly deserves its status (tho maybe it's praised a tiny bit too much...), but don't count out the other two episodes.

@@thepandorica1660 I personally think Series 9 is the best series of the NuWho

Yep

Yeah, DW is not sci fi, it's a Musical!

Doctor Who is the greatest work of art in the field of family entertainment. The plot may not always appeal to you, but it's there.

this feels targeted at spyfall

👏👏👏

Excellent list! Thanks for this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Totally agree. Love that one and The Satan Pit, of course.

It's the doctors theme.

David Tennant doctor who BBC iPlayer 7 click 8 PM

best individual track probably but I am the doctor is just such a brilliant motif, he adapted and styled it so beautifully, such a powerful theme and hearing it in his and peters final episode with that fantastic doctor of war scene.

Would it be… similar to Series 11, 12 and 13? 😂

​@@alvaropalomoh nope

"I'm ready to go"

"Again?!?"

Thank you for being one of the few people who view Segun Akinola's music as on the same footing as Murray Gold's, it gets a little tiring seeing so many people saying Segun Akinola's work isn't as good especially since I personally prefer Segun Akinola's more atmospheric style as it's more in line with quite a few of Classic Who's soundtracks

It’s annoyes me so much that people say segun is not as good I think there both amazing and if anythign I prefer segan’s main theme to Murray gold’s and we have to remember that Murray gold did 10 seasons of music segan did 3.

@@IcySlavKat Yes same here. I really enjoyed the fresh, more ambient (almost with a nod to Classic Who's sound) style that we got when Segun came on board. Not to say that Murray wasn't good, obviously, he has some absolute masterpieces but imo so does Segun. They have different styles and I think we can and should appreciate them both for the fantastic work they have both done on Who. This video is proof that they are of equal standing and as with all art, bring their own piece of magic to the party. It is forever saddening that its being treated as a competition and that in order to worship at the alter of Murray Gold, Segun Akinola is being berated by some fans. You can have a favourite but its isn't necessary to bad mouth someone else to do that. PS @Nathaniel Farkas - Seguns opening theme is my favourite version of NuWho as well, really harks back to the original theme for me. Its equal parts punchy and nostalgic! 😁😁

@@hotdog1214 Nothing can top the series 4 theme, but Segun Akinola's theme is definitely in second place. It's quite good Edit: To be clear, second place out of all the NuWho themes that have been used

@@sparshjohri1109 Hmm, well I kindly disagree, it does have a nice other worldly punch to it but I'm not really a big fan of the orchestrated versions. I like Segun's because he went back to the original Delia Derbyshire notes and started from scratch; which to my ear returns it to its more alien like intro from the 60s. My 2nd place would go to Peter Howell largely due to an abundance of 80s nostalgia! 😁😁

Oh man that's awesome. There's not many of those here in America, I would love to go, especially in Edinburgh! Say hi to the Twelfth Doctor for me if he shows up! Lol

@@iztasticbachman9578 oh I misspoke it’s a doctor who museum in Edinburgh not like the experience in Cardiff

@@frostedY1 ooohhh still fun though!

@@iztasticbachman9578 it was 😀 but my bank account wasn’t happy when I went to the gift shop and bought a sonic spork😂

@@frostedY1 that sounds awesome!

Was looking for this comment.

?​@@rm2106

Still brings a tear to my eye.

All the Spymaster's themes and 13's theme go hard

👍👍

I loved all his variations on Thirteens theme (which this is) but hearing it as her last scene in all its glory was indeed perfection - really suited the incredible visuals as well.

HE'S BACK!

You actually have never heard the Doctor Who theme in an episode aside from this moment. You’d think they’d reserve a moment with payoff that is a satisfying conclusion for an amazingly well written story. Oh well

@@danielhenze8182 that's actually not true, it's heard in Jodie's first episode: The Woman Who Fell to Earth and a version of it is used a few times in Classic Doctor Who Season 18 - most notably for Tom Baker's regeneration

@@friendlyotaku9525 You beat me to it, I was going to say it was in TWWFTE when she crashed through the roof as well. Chills, that's definitely the word, and warm fuzzy, yet overly excited feelings with a splash of nostalgia and nerdy joy, whenever I see this. I still remember watching it live. What a moment! How anyone cannot like the theme tune played over a montage of all of the Doctor's history I don't know. After it aired and it was uploaded it was on repeat for quite a while 😋😋 Its a fab piece of TV and Who-ness.

@@hotdog1214 for sure!!

Why?

​@@theabraham8164it would be funny

A large portion of the Christmas episode featuring Katherine Jenkins was, besides it's already been done by horror series Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

@@julianaylor4351 I've seen in it in other shows, its usually a bit cringe but Buffy was the only one that pulled it off - mainly because the songs were so damn catchy and also relevant to the plot. "I've got a theory. It could be bunnies" 🐇🐰🐰😂😂

I mean, he was trapped in the suspended reality of the confession dial, so I'm gonna say no. But that's my guess. I'd _love_ to hear what someone who's actually educated in theoretical physics has to say on the subject.

It’s not

We’re not. Can you really not hear the swelling music in those scenes‽ 🙄🤷‍♂️
