Barry Gray (18 July 1908-26 April 1984[1]) composed the music for the films Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., which were produced in the 1960s and starring Peter Cushing as Dr. Who.
Gray is best known for his work composing themes and incidental music for numerous supermarionation and live-action series produced by Gerry Anderson including Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and Joe 90, all of which crossed over with the Doctor Who universe to varying degrees, as well as UFO and the first season of Space: 1999. This included the Thunderbirds episode The Man from MI.5, which featured the Daleks, where he was credited as the music composer and director.
Some reference works erroneously credit Gray with composing the theme and other music for the Doctor Who TV series. Although neither of the Cushing films used the famous Doctor Who theme, Gray did at one point contribute sound effects to Eric Winstone's rendition of the theme, which has been reissued on numerous compilation CDs.
