Showcasing the best of Murray Gold’s music from Season 8, plus a few well-known fan favourites, the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular has finally reached the UK. The tour started in Wembley at the weekend before crossing the country to Cardiff, or as Peter Davison described it, ‘the beating heart of Doctor Who.’ Finally the orchestra … >
After 13 years, Fox has rehired television’s original paranormal investigators FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully for a six-episode reinvestigation of The X-Files.
