The Beast Below (song)

"The Beast Below" was a musical piece composed by Murray Gold.
It was first used in the Series 5 episode The Beast Below (which it is named after) where the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond fall through a rubbish dump which they later find out was the mouth of a star whale.
The piece was used in several next time trailers throughout series 5 to 8 such as The God Complex in series 6, The Angels Take Manhattan and The Crimson Horror, both in series 7 and was last featured in the next time trailer for Into the Dalek in series 8.
A few variants of the track were "created", mainly either heavily shortened versions or choirless versions, both were also used in The Adventure Games throughout all of Series 1.
The piece is featured in Murray Gold's soundtrack Doctor Who: Series 5, but at least 24 seconds of the track wasn’t included, nor was it ever used in the show, however, it was used in The Adventure Games, unfortunately, a higher quality version of those 24 seconds is currently not available to the public.
