I'm watching BBC America, Doctor Who, and it seems that one of the scores theynow  use, for dramatic effect is nearly identical to the ME2 score heard when Shep travels to the Collector homeworld.

My wife said exactly the same thing as we were watching Dr. Who. The music does sound a lot like the Suicide Mission @1:04. But that music has been in the series for several years now.

There was also a Doctor Shepard in that last episode and the FBI agent guy is played by Mark Sheppard (who is also the lawyer guy in BSG).

Though I have noticed some new music with this new season. Fairly certain the dramatic music you are referring to was used in the last season as well. It's probably just a coincidence.

Think this is the music the OP is referring to:

It's a straight line key progression, it's seriously in hundreds of songs.

Dr Who and Mass Effect. Two of my favorite things. Yes Please. Why is this a turn off for people?

This. It's an incredibly generic riff, and has always been one of the weakest compositions on the soundtrack.

Only becouse they as the OP refers, pretty much are close to Copying the ME2 Collector Homeworld theme, and i really hate everything that's copying Music themes when it comes to TV.

Music seems different enough to me.

Looks like someone went through the wrong relay.

Straight line key progression or not, I noticed that the arrangement, instrumentation and all other structural elements were uncannily similar to 'Suicide Mission'. It's definitely not the same as two songs having the same melody but using completely different orchestrations so that they sound like two different songs. Even soundtrack pieces that use the same refrain on the same album shouldn't sound so alike as these do. It sounds like it's a replication.

It's not uncommon; anime does it a heck of a lot to both classical pieces and existing OST pieces, but it annoys me when the network is big enough to know better than copy music from such a huge-selling game.

'Suicide Mission' is awesome music, but deserves its own recognition and not to be ripped off by someone else.

It's similar. Not the same, but similar.

Sorta similar, but it's a completely different piece of music. As has been said, it uses similar structure to many other pieces of music.

The chances that Murray Gold actually copied ME2 are about nil.

Ah, I see... basically, there's a musical piece called 'I Am The Doctor', and it was re-orchestrated, and now it sounds really similar to 'Suicide Mission'. For those that can watch BBC iPlayer, the link's here: http://www.bbc.co.uk...Day_of_the_Moon/

And the offending music starts at 36:00. It's actually not as bad as I first thought. Heh, ah well. 'Suicide Mission' is tons better.

THANK YOU. I've been thinking the new Doctor's theme is similar to Suicide Mission. :)

It is similar now that you bring my attention to it, but I never really noticed before.

I think it is very similar. Also Dragon Age: Origins Redcliff theme sounds like the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes theme. Same Melody, same key.

Possible explanation:

Also, given that there is a finite amount of notes, thus a finite amount of chords and possible arrangements that will sound pleasing to the ear, similiarities will always pop up in musical scores. I'm willing to bet anyones left nut that the ME2 music will have some similarities to another score that has been produced in the last 300 years.

Looking at the timeline of things, ME2 came out January 26, 2010. "The Eleventh Hour", the first episode to use the track in question, aired April 3, 2010. I think it unlikely that Murray Gold would leave composing the Doctor's main theme for the series quite that late and then rib it from something else; it's just a case of (admittedly rather awesome) coincidence.

Exactly my thoughts.  Both are great musical peices and each adjusted to fit thier own characters and/or events.  Now could you honsetly place "Suicide Mission" in place of "I am the Doctor" and get that same whimsical, brilliant, but other worldly feeling of the Doctor?  Like would the opposite hold true for the battle worn soldier, moving headlong to what might surley be thier doom?

The build up shares some similarities sure, but after an awkward minute of making me want to Warp spam Harbinger it goes away.

They did it again last night. At the end of the first episode of the new series they used music IDENTICAL to the Suicide Run theme at the end of Mass Effect 2. HAve Bioware given them permission?
