"I Am the Doctor"
- You may be looking for the tribute album of the same name.
"I Am the Doctor" is Murray Gold's theme for the Eleventh Doctor.
It was usually played when the Doctor was being heroic or when a problem was being solved, and was heavily featured in advertisements for the programme. It was first used in TV: The Eleventh Hour and first appeared on home audio on the series 5 soundtrack.
In spite of the track not appearing regularly as incidental music in the Twelfth Doctor era, the song continued to be used as trailer music during the era, as well as brief notes in TV: Death in Heaven and TV: The Pyramid at the End of the World playing. It was later used in TV: Twice Upon a Time, when the Testimony showed the First and Twelfth Doctors information on themselves.
