Doctor Who: Original Television Soundtrack is a soundtrack album released on 4 December 2006, containing incidental music composed by Murray Gold and used in the 2005 and 2006 series of Doctor Who.
The release included a fourteen-page booklet containing an introduction to the album by "Doctor Who" Executive Producer Julie Gardner, written on 8 November 2006; and four pages of comments on the contents of the album, written by Murray Gold in November 2006. The booklet also featured many publicity pictures, including a Cyberman, a Dalek ship, Matron Casp and the New Earth Hospital, the Doctor and Rose, and a Slitheen. The last page has a picture of Dalek Sec from "Doomsday".
It was originally released as a special limited edition, which featured a cardboard slipcase containing the jewel CD case, as well as a small badge featuring the Doctor and Rose, as seen on the cover artwork. In 2008 a new cover was released for this album, removing Rose and including a different picture of the Doctor. It was reissued in a limited edition of 500 2-LP sets on 2 September 2013.
The album features 31 tracks, including two of variations of the Doctor Who theme music. The longest track is "Doomsday" at 5:11 and the shortest is the TV version of the theme tune (0:40).
The compilation includes two songs, "Song for Ten" and "Love Don't Roam", both of which were performed by Neil Hannon. Tim Phillips is the singer of the original version of "Song for Ten" (in "The Christmas Invasion"), while Neil Hannon's performance of "Love Don't Roam" was used during the wedding reception scene in the 2006 Christmas special, "The Runaway Bride".
