See Craig Ferguson's Bizarre & Unaired Musical Opening For His DOCTOR WHO/Matt Smith Episode!!

Merrick here...
A few weeks ago we referenced Matt Smith's appearance on Craig Ferguson's LATE SHOW. Smith is, of course, the current "Doctor" on DOCTOR WHO - introduced on the now-concluded, mostly excellent fifth season of the series. Those who tuned in to THE LATE SHOW may've seen this "cold open", in which Ferguson explained that his plans to begin the episode with a dance number set to Ron Grainer's DOCTOR WHO theme music had been thwarted - the legal clearance to use said music had, evidently, not been obtained.

Well, his lost DOCTOR WHO musical opening has now been leaked via YouTube and appears through the embed below. In the number, Ferguson & Co. dance and sing their contextualization of the DW mythos for those who may not know much about it. It is, predictably, bizarre and glorious madness. Take a look.
Thanks to my man Robogeek (his Twitter's HERE) for pointing us towards this.
On a related note, Murray Gold's extraordinary, enormous score for the series' fifth season is now available on CD or MP3 download from Amazon UK (HERE). 'Tis some of the finest music you'll currently find, or may ever find, on television. Here are a few samples…
This is, by the way, pretty amazing music to spin while playing CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS. Just sayin'...
