Following the announcement in the latest Doctor Who Magazine that a second CD of Murray Gold's incidental music is to be released, the cover and release date have begun to appear on a number of retail sites. According to HMV amongst others, the CD is due in UK shops on 5th November, and will feature music from the show's third series.

Doctor Who has dominated the BAFTA Cymru Awards for the second year in succession, winning eight of the thirteen categories in which it was nominated. As reported earlier this month on Outpost Gallifrey, both Doctor Who and its spin-off series Torchwood were nominated for a slew of the awards, given by the Welsh branch of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, which celebrates achievements by Welsh productions for the big and small screens.

The winners were announced at a ceremony held in the Cardiff International Arena this evening. Doctor Who won the categories for Best Actor (David Tennant), Best Screenwriter (Russell T Davies), best lighting director - not camera (Mark Hutchings); best editor (Crispin Green); best original music soundtrack (Murray Gold); best make-up (Sheelagh Wells, Neill Gorton); best costume (Louise Page), and best director: drama (Graeme Harper).

However, the series lost out to Torchwood for Best Drama, with the spin-off also picking up the Best Actress award (Eve Myles), best director of photography: drama (Mark Waters), and best design (Edward Thomas).

In the BBC News report, Controller of BBC Wales Menna Richards is quoted as saying: "I'm very proud indeed of the success of all those who've made such wonderful programmes for BBC Wales. It's great to see BAFTA Cymru recognising the talents of all those who make programmes of the highest possible standards."

The BBC children's news programme Newsround is the latest to report on plans to put Love Don't Roam by Murray Gold into the UK Singles charts.

Reporter Lizo Mzimba commented: "It's all happened because of a change in the rules on how the singles chart works. Now any song, whether it's a single or an album track, whether it's in the shops or only by downloading, can make it into the singles chart if enough people buy it. That's what a group of Doctor Who fans have tried to take advantage of. They've spent the week trying to persuade people to download a track featured in the Doctor Who Christmas Special, in the hope that the song Love Don't Roam - which was never intended to be a single - will actually make it into the singles chart next week."

He went on to say: "If you think it's ridiculous that a Doctor Who song could be popular enough to get into the charts, think again - a few years back this song (Doctorin' The TARDIS), inspired by Doctor Who, not only got into the charts, it got to number one!"

The item was entitled "David Tennant vs Billie Piper" as, in addition to above and as we previously reported, BBC Radio One DJ Chris Moyles is also attempting to get a track into the charts - Honey to the Bee by former Doctor Who actress Billie Piper.

Newsround have also invited viewers to vote on which song they'd like to see make it to the top of the charts their website - though you can't vote for both!

Though not referenced by name, Outpost Gallifrey made it into the item, used as an illustration of one of the sites where the download is being discussed (see above picture).

(Billie Piper was also mentioned on this morning's Entertainment Today, talking about her new play Treats, but also to comment that she was on their first ever show, some 250 editions ago.)

The first official release of Murray Gold's soundtrack to Doctor Who has gone to the top of the download chart from itunes according to a report from the BBC. Going against strong competition such as the soundtrack to the new James Bond film the release made it into the top 30 picks on the first day.

There was a special concert held at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff on Sunday 19th November to raise funds for the BBC's annual Children in Need appeal. The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and BBC National Chorus of Wales played a selection of the incidental music from the last two series composed by Murray Gold and orchestrated by Ben Foster, as well as previewing Love don't Roam and a four minute clip from The Runaway Bride. Tickets had sold out in hours, but the concert was also broadcast live on BBC Radio Wales.

Numerous Doctor Who stars were also in attendance, including Freema Agyeman, Camille Coduri, Noel Clarke, Phil Collinson, Julie Gardener and Steven Moffatt. Cybermen, Sycorax and Daleks were amongst the assorted monsters who appeared amongst the audience and on stage. Russell T Davies, David Tennant and Murray Gold took part in a question and answer session, revealing that they expectd a Christmas Day broadcast for The Runaway Bride.

The concert has raised over £52,000 for Children in Need so far. Various props were auctioned at the event , while an online auction of the Genesis Ark, a Sycorax helmet, the Doctor's trainers and Rose's New Earth top raised nearly £10,000. Terry Wogan carried out an auction of "money can't buy" prizes on his Radio 2 breakfast show, and the opportunity of a special set tour guided by Russell T Davies raised £25,000.

For those who missed out, the concert will be available via the red button interactive service to digital viewers at some point over Christmas.

The new series soundtrack CD is officially released by Silva Screen Records on Monday, December 4, although pre-ordered copies have already started arriving.

It comprises 31 tracks by composer Murray Gold, taken from Series 1 and 2. The first and last tracks are the title music (listed as TV Version at 41" and Album Version at 2' 36").

Neil Hannon, from The Divine Comedy, sings Song For Ten, which featured in The Christmas Invasion but was sung then by Tim Phillips, and Love Don't Roam from the forthcoming Christmas special The Runaway Bride.

It comes with a 16-page illustrated booklet that has an introduction by series executive producer Julie Gardner and track notes by Gold.

The initial pressing comes in a slipcase bearing the legend "Collector's Limited Edition" and has an exclusive badge (inside the CD case) with the cover image of Billie Piper and David Tennant and the series logo.

Downloadable samples from three of the tracks are available from the website.

Listeners to BBC Radio Five Live before 9am UK time this morning were treated to the new Doctor Who series theme tune by Murray Gold; reports are also in that a snippet of the tune was played on Chris Moyles' show on Radio 1 this morning. The broadcast of the Breakfast show will likely be on Radio Five Live's website very shortly; select the listening button and then "Listen Again" for Tuesday morning and you should be able to catch it. Update 8 March 1500 GMT: It's now on the FiveLive website; it's at about the 2:39:30 mark in the show. The show also discusses the downloading of "Rose".

The SFX Magazine website confirms that musician Murray Gold, previously announced as composing the incidental music for each episode of the new series, will be recreating the popular theme tune for the new series. "It's not as radical a remix as many thought we might get," says the article. "The new arrangement updates Delia Derbyshire and Ron Grainer's original, but keeps the basic sounds. Producer Russell T Davies told SFX that the production team did consider keeping the 1960s/70s original, but, 'When we watched it on the small screen, it just seemed a little bit empty and a bit old.'" The article notes that the new theme tune was delivered on January 17 by Gold, and quotes Davies as saying it's "brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I thought the original theme would be perfect though, but the version Murray's done is so faithful." Davies also told SFX that the show would bring back "the classic Jon Pertwee/Tom Baker 'cliffhanger screech'." The issue features an interview with Davies as well as artwork by famed Doctor Who illustrator Chris Achilleos; visit the website for more information.
