Murray Gold

From his ground-breaking, BAFTA-nominated score to Vanity Fair, to the RTS Award-winning soundtrack to Queer as Folk, Murray Gold has been the composer of choice when it comes to scoring the most innovative programmes on television.  With a CV that includes Torchwood, Casanova, Randall & Hopkirk and the first three series of both Clocking Off and Shameless, Murray is perhaps best-known for his score to the hugely popular Doctor Who.  The soundtrack albums are among the best-selling on iTunes and CD and have played a significant part in the successful re-invention of the series.  In 2008 he scored The Devils Whore, Marc Munden's 4-part epic dramatisation of the English Civil War.

In film, Murray composed an evocative jazz score to Jez Butterworth’s acclaimed first feature, Mojo, and followed this by providing memorable music scores for UK film productions Heavenly Creatures, Wild About Harry, Miranda, Alien Autopsy, Mischief Night and Death At A Funeral.  He has recently completed work on Hoodwinked 2 : Hood and Evil, a sequel to the popular 2005 animated feature, and a feature film adaptation of Paulo Coelho's novel Veronika Decides to Die.

Murray is currently busy working on 4 Doctor Who specials - the final episodes to feature David Tennant as the eponymous Time Lord.
