The Cybermen Theme: Multiple
The Cybermen are already iconic villains, dating back to the original run of Doctor Who, but with the metallic thud of their feet and cries of ‘delete,’ they also have an accompanying theme that is both ominous and bold; reflective of the steel monsters that are emerging from the shadows. This theme is used throughout the whole of new Who, in various arrangements and different instruments, but has remained as consistent as the Cybermen themselves. Due to its familiarity, it is now often used to tease the arrival of these heartless former humans.
Doomsday: Doomsday
An emotional ending for another character, this affected a lot of viewers at the time and continues to till this day. The parting of Rose and The Doctor was a moment that already had the potential to be a tear jerker, but the addition of this well crafted and powerful theme set the stage for something really memorable. Some have pointed to the Doomsday theme as being one of the best in all of Doctor Who and whilst it has had many challengers since then, certainly remains one of the most poignant and respected pieces of music from the series.
