While the first four series of Doctor Who have seen releases of their respective soundtracks, music from the 2009 Specials have been suspiciously absent. That is, until now.

Amazon UK are listing Doctor Who: The Specials soundtrack for release in September. The 20th, to be precise.

Silva Screen Music have also now officially confirmed this.

No track listings are available yet, although favourites like Vale Decem are sure to be included. There’s no sign of a Series 5 soundtrack, yet, but it hopefully won’t take as long to come out.

Thanks to Stephanos aka Time042 for the tip.

If you missed the first 2010 Doctor Who Prom performance last night, you’ll be pleased to know it is now available on the BBC iplayer.

Karen Gillan was interviewed on Fearne Cotton’s show on Radio 1 earlier today and discussed the Doctor Who tour, working with Matt Smith, and her character Amy Pond.

“Amy is a very sassy lady. She meets the Doctor in a really, incredibly interesting way, which may determine their relationship for the first part of the series. She’s not completely in awe of the Doctor all the time, there’s none of that. She doesn’t take his word as gospel or anything. She’s kind of like ‘OK if you’re gonna go off and doing that, then I’m going to go off and do my own thing’. She’s very much independent in that way. She’s really funny. Funny, sassy and strong.” Gillan said.
