Russell T Davies confirms when Doctor Who Prom will air on TV
Murray Gold's music takes centre stage at the celebratory event.
Russell T Davies has confirmed when Doctor Who fans can expect to see a televised version of the show's BBC Proms event, which celebrates music by composer Murray Gold.
The Doctor Who Prom took place yesterday (Monday 26th August) at the Royal Albert Hall, with actor and comedian Catherine Tate serving as its presenter, following her reprisal of the iconic Donna Noble role in last year's 60th anniversary specials.
The BBC describes the event as follows: "Showcasing Murray Gold’s epic music for the series performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the Prom features sequences from the series on big screens, spectacular lighting and a host of special guest appearances – and, yes, there will be monsters!"
Davies took a photo from the Royal Albert Hall and shared it to his personal Instagram page, where he also revealed when Whovians will be able to enjoy the special event from the comfort of their homes.
