My interpretation of Score is when a piece(s) of music is written specifically for a show or film, it is usually part of the film's soundtrack and may include dialogue and or sound effects. This usually consists of orchestral or instrumental pieces.
Incidental music on the other hand is more usually associated with plays and the like, essentially it is background music used to set a scenes atmosphere or mood or signify the end of an act etc.
I think this was used in this show to give it a memorable factor, its catchy tune is well known and as its direct correlation is with Doctor Who people will therefor think of Doctor Who when they hear this theme. It's use therefore results in a more entertaining and engaging start to the show.
