Composers [[John Lewis (composer)|John Lewis]] & [[David Snell]] have also composed for the series, but had their scores replaced. Lewis was originally hired to score [[The Mark of the Rani (TV story)|The Mark of the Rani]] but fell ill during production (which ultimately resulted in his death) & was replaced by Jonathan Gibbs. Snell was originally hired to score [[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]] but producer [[John Nathan-Turner]] rejected the music after it was completed (deeming it too repetitive) & replaced him with Keff McCulloch who provided a replacement score inside of a week. Both Lewis & Snell's original scores can be found as Special Features on the DVD & Blu-Ray releases.
