[caption id="attachment_1124" align="alignright" width="200" caption="The Tenth Doctor (David Tennant)"][/caption] There are a lot of people that can't wait for the new upcoming Doctor Who series which is believed to be aired in about a month on August 25. In the first new upcoming episode it also seems like that the Daleks are gonna cause more trouble again since the title of the first new episode is revealed and called 'Asylum of the Daleks'. As a great Doctor Who & Torchwood fan myself i came across a great article about '50 years of Dr Who Music'' written by Jim Paterson from Music Files (mfiles.co.uk). In this great article he will bring you back to 1963 were it all started and talks about the various music composers involved in creating the Doctor Who Music.

Torchwood

Torchwood is a spin-off from Doctor Who and is about a small team of alien hunters of the Torchwood Institute which deals mainly with incidents involving extraterrestrials. Torchwood is created by Russell T. Davies also the creator of the new Doctor Who series. It also contains some of the same music composers from the Doctor Who series. The series contains more mature content than the Doctor Who series. You can watch the trailer below.    

BBC National Orchestra of Wales

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales takes a big part in all the music of both Doctor Who and Torchwood and off course many more soundtracks. For the tv shows Doctor Who and Torchwood the orchestra was mostly lead by Ben Foster as conductor of the music Murray Gold created but Foster was also the main composer of the Torchwood soundtracks together with Murray Gold. Watch the actor Karen Gillan playing 'Amy Pond' in the latest Doctor Who episodes introducing the Orchestra and listen to the great music.
