The Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular is a must-see tribute to the show's tremendous musical repertoire...
Doctor Who has been around for over half a century, and a decade on from its triumphant return to TV, it's fair to say that it's never been more popular around the world. Events like the 2013 simulcast and special cinema screenings of The Day Of The Doctor will attest to this and it never seems like we're far off from another reminder of its regenerated global fandom.
Following successful runs in Australia and New Zeleand, the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular arena show reiterated that case on its first UK tour last week, drawing crowds across the nation. The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and members of the National Chorus of Wales went from Wembley to Glasgow over the course of seven dates, in celebration of composer Murray Gold's spellbinding musical score for the series.

It's been 35 years since Peter Davison signed on the dotted line to become Doctor Who's then-youngest ever lead, at just 29 years old.
In the years since he played the fifth incarnation of the Time Lord, Peter has remained very much part of the Doctor Who world - and next month, he'll be hosting a special concert tour celebrating the show's iconic soundtrack.
Davison spoke to Digital Spy about fronting the 13-date Symphonic Spectacular, whether he'll ever play the Doctor on-screen again and if the rumours about a 'Five-ish Doctors Reboot' sequel are true.
For fans who are unfamiliar, what can we expect from the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular?
It's the music of Murray Gold, that he's written for the series - a fair part of it is the music he's written for Peter Capaldi's series, but there's also music from earlier Doctors.

Writers, film-makers, artists and academics 'dismayed' at suspension of four musicians, and urge the London Philharmonic Orchestra to reconsider
A letter to the Telegraph (scroll down) expresses what so many people in the audience at the London Philharmonic Orchestra's excellent opening concert were saying privately last night: that the measures against the four musicians who signed a letter to the Independent protesting against the Israel Phil's appearance at the BBC Proms were absurdly draconian.
Those who signed today's Telegraph letter include filmmakers Mike Leigh and Ken Loach; actors Sam West, Simon McBurney and Miriam Margolyes; writers Al Kennedy, Philip Hensher, Kamila Shamshie and Ahdaf Soueif; artists Cornelia Parker and Mark Wallinger; composer Steve Martland; playwright Lee Hall and others, including many academics and scholars.
The Lpo has certainly made a crisis out of a drama. I'm not sure it could have stoked the flames of this episode more effectively if it had tried.
