New Doctor Who Composer

As Chris Chibnall continues to shake up the show, he has hired a new composer.

Murray Gold has scored every episode of the new series, and his announced departure has disappointed many fans.

The BBC has now announced his replacement: Segun Akinola. He will be composing (or already has, given where we are) a new theme song as well as all the incidental music for at least season 11.

Gold will be a loss, but Akinola's website includes streams of some of his past work, including a number of BBC documentaries and several feature films. I gave it a quick listen, and his style seems to be on the mark.
