|---|---|
Doctor Who is a soundtrack album released in 2006, containing incidental music composed by Murray Gold and used in the 2005 and 2006 series of Doctor Who.
The release also contained a fourteen-page booklet that featured an introduction to the Album by "Doctor Who" Executive Producer Julie Gardner, written on the 8th November 2006. The booklet also contained four pages of comments on the contents of the album, written by Murray Gold in November 2006. The booklet also featured many publicity pictures, including a Cyberman, a Dalek ship, Matron Casp and the New Earth Hospital, the Doctor and Rose, and a Slitheen. The last page features a picture of Dalek Sec from "Doomsday".
It was originally released as a special limited edition, which featured a cardboard slipcase containing the jewel CD case, as well as a small badge featuring the Doctor and Rose, as seen on the cover artwork.
Track listing
The CD included 31 tracks, two of which were different versions of the Doctor Who theme music. The longest track was Doomsday at 5:09 and the shortest was the TV version of the theme tune (0:41); the second-shortest was Seeking The Doctor at 0:44.
The compilation included two songs, Song For Ten and Love Don't Roam, both of which were performed by Neil Hannon. In the original version of Song For Ten (in The Christmas Invasion), the singer was Tim Philips, and it is not yet clear who will perform Love Don't Roam in the upcoming 2006 Christmas special, The Runaway Bride.

Reception
The soundtrack became the top download in its category on iTunes, above the soundtrack for Casino Royale [1].
It has been criticised by members of the Outpost Gallifrey forums due to the poor sequencing of the final track, the "Doctor Who Theme - Album Version", and the abrupt end to track 17 ("UNIT").
