Doctor Who is a phenomenon that can only be understood by its hardcore fans...and British people. A touring tribute to the long-running sci-fi classic will be coming to concert halls in the UK next year, titled "The Doctor Who Symphonic Experience," indulging fans in live versions of the series' classic theme song along with bits from composer Murray Gold's current score for the series. And of course, The Doctor himself and several classic villains will make appearances onstage to distract the musicians carrying this whole thing out.
The "Symphonic Experience" sounds great, really, but being uncouth Americans like we are, we couldn't help but wonder if a more pop-oriented TV-opera is a possibility. But then of course we'd need real people to provide the vocals for the various characters. We don't want to invite controversy by even suggesting an actor to portray the titular Doctor, but we're more than happy to suggest musicians to portray his worst enemies.
