Who music

Apr 10 2008

Doctor Who is to feature in this year's Proms alongside Nigel Kennedy and maypole dancing, it has been announced.

The new Proms director denied that the arrival of the Tardis at the Royal Albert Hall meant the world-famous music festival was being dumbed down.

This year's events, which cost the BBC £8 million to stage, will also celebrate the music of Vaughan Williams on the 50th anniversary of the English composer's death.
