Composer Edmund Butt’s excellent score to Mark Gatiss’s inspired retelling of the birth of Doctor Who.

“It’s a sea of fag smoke, tweed and sweaty men” – Verity Lambert, first producer of Doctor Who.

This special one-off drama that travels back to 1963 to see how Doctor Who was first brought to the screen. Actor William Hartnell felt trapped by a succession of hard-man roles. Wannabe producer Verity Lambert was frustrated by the TV industry’s glass ceiling.

Both of them were to find unlikely hope and unexpected challenges in the form of a Saturday tea-time drama. Allied with a team of unusual but brilliant people, they went on to create the longest running science fiction series ever made.

Composer Edmund Butt’s understanding of the characters and the narrative is perfect and writer Mark Gatiss comments: “Edmund Butt’s gorgeous score is one of the highlights of the film.”

Edmund Butt is well known for scores for Sea of Souls, Murphy’s Law, Mistresses, Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes. He is the Winner of the 2011 RTS Award for Best Television Score for Garrow’s Law.

      It was good, but not as good as the soundtrack to, say, “Seeds of Doom” which I listen to a lot.

    HMV used to regularly stock “Doctor Who” soundtrack CDs before the adminsitrators were called in, but stock has been severley lacking since the takeover.
