Proposed new name: Segun Akinola Leitmotifs
Have links been moved? Yes
Segun Akinola was the composer for Doctor Who under Chris Chibnall, beginning in 2018 with Series 11.
As part of his work, he has created leitmotifs for characters, ideas or situations. These recur throughout his episode scores from Series 11 onwards.
This page is intended as a record of identified leitmotifs and the timings of their appearance. Many leitmotifs do not have an officially listed assignment to a particular character or idea from Segun himself, but these associations are easily apparent as such from the timing of their appearance and characters onscreen throughout their appearance.
Series 11
All of the below listed official soundtrack appearances are on the Doctor Who: Original Television Soundtrack: Series 11.
Note to be added here regarding difference between Fam A variation and Fam B variation.
