=== Minisode ===
=== Minisode ===
In a filmed segment, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald|Clara]] hatch a plan to infiltrate the concert using "[[body swap]]" tickets with which they can replace two members of the audience. The plan goes awry when they end up appearing on stage in place of two of the musicians (with Smith and Coleman now performing in character live on stage), and with the Doctor also discovering he's lost most of his hair (which he blames on his buying the body swap ticket from a man from "Space Vegas"). The Doctor gives conductor Ben Foster a sonic baton to conduct the orchestra with, which he later uses to torment the Daleks. The Doctor attempts to conduct, with Clara (who has found herself in the double bass section) reminding him that the audience is waiting for the actual concert to continue. After the Doctor reminds Clara that the last time the next piece of music in the program was heard, she was [[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|turned into a Dalek]], the two make a hasty exit from the stage. Unlike past Prom "minisodes" such as [[TV]]: ''[[Music of the Spheres (TV story)|Music of the Spheres]]'', this skit had no official title until post-broadcast. Although the skit falls outside validity due to its real world nature, the body swap ticket does exist in some form in official continuity as Clara is seen to possess one in [[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]''.

The 2013 Doctor Who at the Proms were the fourth and fifth performances of Doctor Who at the Proms, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who.

They were broadcast live from the Royal Albert Hall on BBC Radio 3 between 13-14 July 2013 with commentary by Louise Fryer, forming Proms 2 & 3 of the 2013 season.

A 75 minute edit of the prom was broadcast on television on BBC One & BBC One HD on 26 August 2013. After a BBC Three repeat on 21 November 2013, an additional 25 minutes of material ran on the BBC Red Button service under the title Doctor Who at the Proms: Encore.

During the 20 minute interval, BBC Radio 3 broadcast the documentary The Soundworld of Doctor Who, in which Matthew Sweet interviewed the sound designers of Doctor Who and the voice of the Daleks and Ice Warriors, Nicholas Briggs.

It was hosted by Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman, Neve McIntosh (in Silurian prosthetics as Madame Vastra), Dan Starkey (in Sontaran prosthetics as Strax), Peter Davison, the Daleks and Carole Ann Ford.

The 13 July performance was the world première of Murray Gold's celebration of Doctor Who, "Song for Fifty".

Shortly before the performance of "Cyber Shard", Strax held a Strax Field Report: T135/2, where Strax reported to Sontar he was in a large room full of "human scum" celebrating the Doctor and that he received intel that the Doctor's enemies are about to attack.

Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]

Doctor Who returns to the Proms to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the popular BBC series. As well as showcasing Murray Gold's music from the past eight years, the concert also journeys back to the early days of Doctor Who and the ground-breaking work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Featuring special guests from the series, big screens and a host of monsters ready to invade the Royal Albert Hall, this is not the year to be exterminated!

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • During the video on screen, the Doctor is shown with his full head of hair. However, on stage, he now has a short, near-buzz haircut which Clara points out. The Doctor blames it on the ticket. In reality, this was due to Matt Smith having had to cut his hair for Ryan Gosling's directorial debut How to Catch a Monster which was shot between the filming of the skit (presumably at some point during production of Series 7) and the Prom concert.
  • The concert received its first television broadcast on 26 August 2013, in a 60 minute cut-down version ("Carmen Suite No. 2", "The Companions", "Toccata and Fugue in D minor", "The Final Chapter of Amelia Pond", "La Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin" ("The Girl with the Flaxen Hair"), the winners of Create a Soundtrack, "Song for Fifty" and "Vale Decem" were all edited out). A different performance of the "Doctor Who Theme" is also used.

Production errors[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • At one point, Neve McIntosh, playing Madame Vastra, mispronounces the name of Leopold Stokowski, though she catches herself and tries again.
  • Reportedly the synthesiser used during the performance of the Doctor Who Theme malfunctioned, resulting in it sounding slightly out of tune. As a result, the televised version of the Prom that aired on BBC One on 26 August 2013 used a different performance of the theme.
