As well as showcasing Murray Gold's music from the past eight years, the concert also journeys back to the early days of Doctor Who and the groundbreaking work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Featuring special guests from the series, big screens and a host of monsters ready to invade the Royal Albert Hall, this is not the year to be exterminated!

Once again, poor Ron Grainer doesn't get a mention.

If all the programmes are as unattractive as these first three, extermination might be quite a good alternative.

Good point - My Avatar is a mini version of a great Delia Derbyshire poster.

For those fans of Ron Grainer, Delia Derbyshire, etc., and who are also fans of Dr. Who sound effects here's something which is great fun - just click on the circles to get the music and mash-up your own mix

Does anyone else share the strange feeling I have? The Proms started last night, but now there's a hiatus before serious Proms resume tomorrow evening. I feel in the mood for a good radio concert tonight. If they must stage these gimmicky Proms, couldn't they at least be mid-season?

Not tempted to go along then, Vodders?

Disagree with Voddy's "gimmicky", but he's sur pointilliste about the timing. "Mid-season" would also put the "Family Prom" during the Summer Holidays of most families.

It would be good if it were a mystery concert. You turn up at the RAH, which just happens to be a reincarnation of the Tardis. It then whisks you back (to the accompaniment of Dr Who-style 'wavy screen' music) to an unknown time in music, to experience - say - Mozart at the keyboard, Wagner conducting, or the latest piece from the Ragnoc of Nurg in 2213.

Could be popular.

Too late. Dr Who's rival, the evil Dr WTF read my post and time-travelled back to last year to copyright it before I'd even thought of it.

I think he's the eminence grise behind those that run Radio 3...
