Murray Gold’s Doctor Who Music
So, I ran across a listing, ahem, for something called Doctor Who at the Proms. Wikipedia clarifies.
Google showed video hits and I clicked on this, which happens to be one of the best pieces of Murray Gold music from the recent season:

But the reality is that conventions like Dragon*Con can help make or break an actor’s career. We are no longer living in the age of Hollywood executives determining who the stars will be, Gray said. We are living in an age of social media, where the fans have a louder voice than ever before.
For example, Gray has one client whom Hollywood paid no attention to. So she went out on her own and started a webcast, and today has more than 1.7 million followers on Twitter. Ouch! That’s gotta hurt all of those people who told Felicia Day, “don’t call us; we’ll call you.”
“I think there’s been a major shift in grass roots media because of the internet and because the geeks and nerds rule the world. They are in control in so many ways. The comic is today’s Western, so many movies, and I think that if actors want to optimize their longevity, it’s important for them to meet the fans because those fans are so loyal and will show up at any movie or tune in to any television show they’re on,” Gray said.
