I'm not sure what to make of this small special offering. It's more in the vein of a charity performance type entertainment piece, as it only goes for about 8 mins or so and is a special performance from David Tennant as the Doctor for the audience at the Prom Night at the Royal Albert Hall.
Introduced by Freema Agyeman, it starts with the title sequence of Doctor Who. The Doctor is laying on the floor of the Tardis composing a musical response to the sounds of the universe (music of the spheres) which he is able to hear in the Tardis.
Alarms sound and a teleport breach is reported. A grask (alien) appears asking to speak with the doctor to warn him of a space portal which suddenly appears inside the Tardis.
The portal links the audience in the Royal Albert with the Tardis. Although we can see the Doctor, we never see the audience but we do hear them. When the Doctor realises that he has a captive orchestra (so to speak) he sends his manuscript through the rift and conducts the playing of his musical work (ode to the universe) using his sonic screwdriver as a baton.
After playing a few bars, which sounds more like the orchestra warming up than a work of art, the doctor realizes that the Grask has slipped through the portal and is now with the audience. Using the Tardis controls, the Doctor reverses the polarity of the neutron flow which returns the Grask who is then sent to the other side of the galaxy.
The special ends with the Doctor telling the audience that music is within all of them.
