After I attended the original Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular held in Melbourne earlier this year I thought, wouldn't it be amazing if they re-staged it in the concert hall of the Sydney Opera House? Having the music on one of the most iconic TV series ever made performed in one of the most iconic buildings ever constructed. Maybe they'll do it next year for the 50th anniversary.
Eleven months later... and where did I find myself last night? (bet the BBC didn't think they've have to extend the original run of four performances to twelve because of demand!)
Essentially it was the same programme as last time, with some music from series 7 thrown in. We didn't get the Doctor again either (though Matt did send a video message), but we got the next best person. "Hello sweetie!" Yep, the Mrs! Alex Kingston took to the stage to thunderous applause and was one of the best things of the night (Mark Williams aka Rory's dad wasn't took bad either!). And of course there were Daleks, Cybermen, Silurians, Silence. There was even an Angel...
So was it better then the Melbourne concert? Different, but the same. But who cares? We were there to enjoy the music and celebrate the most iconic TV series in the world (in the most iconic concert hall in the world!). Can't wait for the next one.
