Balfe has a load of high visibility (audibility?) credits to his name, dating back to his time as an assistant to Hans Zimmer. The standout title for me is another Bad Wolf production, His dark materials, but YMMV โ€” it's a long list of movies, video games and TV shows he has scored.

I think it's interesting that Murray Gold wasn't chosen to do the honours, as he has with most of NuWho and at least parts of its Torchwood and Sarah Jane adventures spinoffs. It certainly indicates that the show may have a different flavour than the main show.

Wow, you ain't kidding. His work with Zimmer is definitely the stuff that stands out in my mind, but he's done a number of high-profile solo projects, as well.
