Not to be confused with the Doctor Who theme.

"The Doctor's Theme" is a piece of music composed by Murray Gold for Doctor Who which served as the main musical motif for the Ninth and Tenth Doctors. It first appeared in the series 1 episode Rose. In series 3, it was somewhat superseded by "The Doctor Forever", but returned in a new arrangement for series 4. The signature notes from "The Doctor's Theme" are heard as part of "Vale Decem" immediately after the Tenth Doctor speaks his final words in DW: The End of Time.

Throughout series 6, the song "The Impossible Astronaut" has been used in a similar way this theme was used.

In the series 6 episode A Good Man Goes to War, this theme is played in the background when the Eleventh Doctor and Vastra are discussing how a Time Lord could be used as a weapon.

This has been briefly heard in The Sarah Jane Adventures episodes The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith and The Mad Woman in the Attic. It was also used briefly in the Torchwood episode Day One.

"The Doctor's Theme" was originally referred to by the production team as "Flavia's Theme", based on the idea that it was the voice of Flavia singing from the Time Vortex. This should not be considered strictly canon.
