I just wondered if there is going to be a DW Proms this year? Or is Peter Capaldi too busy again with filming to do anything like this? 
I would like there to be, as eventually it will appear on DVD in some way.

Me, too - he's magic with children. I hope there is one.:)
its a Shame you missed it. it was great. Some of Golds best stuff. "Am I a good man", "Second chance etc"
It was a lot more creepy scary background stuff in series 8 too.
Some glorious pieces from Into the Dalek - some of which could have been ripped straight from the classic series.
I didn't know that. I thought the details were already known. Another 2½ weeks to go then.
Even on the 23rd, the BBC may still not have the details of whether there is going to be a DW Proms.

I wouldn't say I missed it rather I have not noticed it as much recently. I hear it while the show is on but its quickly forgotten.
They release all the proms details then.
Actually I'd prefer a complete prom dedicated to the Radiophonic Workshop.
Meanwhile, Murray Gold's music for Doctor Who came 275th on the Classic FM Hall of Fame this weekend.
However, there is a prom featuring the music of Murray Gold composed for the series Life Story. It's hosted by Sir David Attenborough on Sunday 30 Aug 2015 - details here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/edxwhn

Wish that was coming to the Scarborough Open Air Theatre. Would be ideal for open air. The stupid council only care about the singing acts, though.
Nah, you just want everything to go there cos you live there. How about, I dunno, travelling out to places like loads of other people have to?
I do travel. But it's hard when you're literally the only person in the family who'd be interested in going. Plus, I'm already travelling to see Michael McIntyre at the Manchester Arena (all extra expense).
I'm not upset, I just think the Council where I live are missing a trick by not booking this show. Would have attracted a lot of publicity for Scarborough and the open-air aspect would have somewhat added to the music's atmosphere.
The council where I live are very out of touch. Don't even have a multiscreen cinema.
They feel that the experiments didn't bring in enough interest for other shows at The Proms.
I'm not quite sure why they feel that way. Are they saying that although the themed concerts completely sold-out, not enough interest spilled over from those into other classical music concerts that didn't manage to sell-out? Were they after immediate results? Music tastes and discoveries grow it's a gradual process. If those concerts inspired even 5% of those attending to pick up an instrument for the first time and learn to play it, then surely that's a good thing. Ten years down the line, they could be in The Proms Academy or something similar.

Lets be honest everything else about The Proms is boring as shit, people only go for BBC Dramas. If they want people to go see other shows then don't make it dull as.
To you maybe but to millions, it is not boring.
Some of the best concerts I've watched from The Proms haven't had a BBC programme connection.
There's going to be two proms in Hull, for city of culture. I'd love there to be a Dr who one in my home town....
Indeed, I usually go to a couple every year, but haven't been for the last 2 years - but will be going to the John Williams Prom [8] in July. It's being televised so you might see me on telly.
