I hope Murray Gold keeps the TARDIS theme

Leit Motifs are important, in 5 seconds of soundtrack you’ll know if the Daleks, Cybermen, Master, Torchwood, UNIT, any new era Doctor or companion are about to appear/be mentioned. You instantly know the context when you hear the music as your brain makes an association with Gold or Akinola’s themes.

I loved the use of ‘Mad Man in a Box’ during Smith and Capaldi’s run as “welcome to the TARDIS” theme. It’s wondrous and magical, during Smith’s run it always plays over important TARDIS scenes, or daft little exchanges between the characters.

The Caretaker gives us a slowed, somber version which suits Twelve and then The Pilot gives us the bombastic version that fits Twelve stepping up to being the Doctor again after meeting Bill.

That being said, I loved the TARDIS theme Segun gave us in The Ghost Monument and Arachnids in the UK, it feels like a “TARDIS is traveling” theme, seeing the visuals of Jodie’s box navigating the tunnels along with this music is great, and I hope Murray keeps the theme for similar scenes in this next era.

Also I wouldn’t mind both Dalek themes being used in tandem, Gold’s theme is fear inducing, Akinola’s highlights the menace of the Daleks
