**For the first time ever, Doctor Who has released a Christmas single, entitled 
The Goblin Song, with all proceeds from sales going to BBC Children in Need.**

The track features in Doctor Who’s Christmas episode, which will see the Doctor’s
companion Ruby Sunday meet the Doctor, as well as goblins, and more.

[The Goblin Song](https://doctorwho.lnk.to/TheGoblinSong) is available on BBC Sounds
as of yesterday, 11 December, and will also be available via Spotify, Apple Music
