Music of the Spheres (Doctor Who) admiring composer Giacomo Puccini; and the Ninth Doctor dancing with Rose Tyler to "In The Mood" by Glenn Miller in "The Doctor Dances". In writing the episode, Davies expressed hope that "this mini-adventure [would show] that music can take any shape or form, whether it’s singing, or playing the recorder, or even the spoons." He states that "music can go anywhere, reach anyone, and make better people of us all. Just like the Doctor." The mini-episode was filmed on Saturday 3 May 2008, the last day of filming for Series 4 of "Doctor Who", in the BBC Wales studios at
