This will be the second time music from Doctor Who has been featured at the Proms. Founded in 1895, the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts are an eight-week summer season of orchestral classical music concerts and other events held annually, predominantly in the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington.

Since 1927 they have been run by the BBC. In 2008 a Doctor Who Prom showcased the work of Murray Gold, who has composed the incidental music for Doctor Who since its return in 2005 along with other space related pieces of classical music.

SFX Magazine, in association with BBC Books, have launched a competition looking for a new description for the Eleventh Doctor, written in the style of Target Books legend, Terrance Dicks.

Fans of the paperback series, which ran through the 70's and 80's will remember Dicks's classic descriptions of the various regenerations of the Doctor. A new description of the Eleventh Doctor is now needed for the new range of BBC Books and SFX are asking their readers to come up with one. Entry's need to be submitted by Twitter so need to be 119 characters or less. They must have the tag #SFXWHO at the end and sent to @SFXmagazine.

The winning phrase, as judged by Terrance Dicks himself, will be used in one of the future Eleventh Doctor books.
