Doctor Who fan music

Fans of Doctor Who have created a number of professional and semi-professional music projects. Some have recorded in the filk genre, while others have formed pop-rock bands.

The 1980s-1990s
The novelty band The Bessies, made up of Chris Taberham and Peter Finklestone, played the convention circuit. They released a 1991 four song audio cassette called Beat 'n' Bop.

2000s
Professional comedy musician Mitch Ben and Who fan has several Doctor Who-based songs in his repetoire which he has played on BBC Radio or at live concerts. Just one, "Dr. Who Girl", from his Radio Face album, has gotten an official release.

A newer innovation, Time Lord Rock ( or Trock) is a genre of music created by Alex Day (who then formed) a band Chameleon Circuit (which included himself Charlie McDonnell, Liam Dryden and Chris Beattie) and promoted via YouTube and MySpace. It takes it inspiration from Wizard Rock a genre of music created by Harry Potter fans who sing about the Harry Potter universe.

An interview with two of Chameleon Circuit's band members featured in Doctor Who Magazine 410.

The Trock movement has gained significant traction with the success and popularity of Chameleon Circuit's first album.
