{{real world}}A '''conductor''' is a person who directs the performance of a [[composer]]'s score. In this pursuit, he or she will be most concerned with determining when individual instruments play their parts of the music. Often, but not always, the conductor will also be the [[orchestrator]] of the orchestra.

In ''[[Doctor Who]]'' history, conductors were not formally credited until late in the [[RTD]] era, and then only on special occasion, as with ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''. During the [[Steven Moffat|Moffat]] era, the conductor began to be credited on a more regular basis. As of [[2011]] the only individuals ever credited as a conductor were [[Ben Foster]], who conducts the [[BBC National Orchestra of Wales]], ''Doctor Who''{{'}}s usual orchestra, and [[David Temple]], who conducts the [[Crouch End Festival Chorus]].
