Advantages: Fantastic acting Disadvantages: to many fart gags
In the new series of DoctorWho, Russell T Davies pulled off the near impossible, and made a series the BBC had thrown on the scrap heap since 1989 into must-see Saturday evening TV. No longer the preserve of geeks and fanboys, it became primetime family entertainment in ways it hadn't been since the 1970s, and Christopher Eccleston was an impressive, if sadly short-lived, Doctor. Chris gives The Doctor funnyer side with his sarcastic coments. Billie piper (An embarrasment to pop music who sang the hidious "because we want to") is impressive in these few episodes putting her dramatic acting skills to use. The prosthetics in the entertaining two parter is the only fault i can find. The slitheen look like there from the 60's Doctorwho! Apart from that its a brilliant buy. ...
Advantages: Great stuff Disadvantages: None really
Now well into the second series of the revamped DoctorWho, we see the writers take a bit of a different tack with the plotlines. We have another double episode story with The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit, and then a foray into an episode where the Doctor and Rose are not greatly featured, with a band of other actors taking the top billing for the episode, in Love and Monsters.

The Impossible Planet
The Doctor and Rose are sucked out of the TARDIS and onto a spaceship, which they find out is being held in orbit around a black hole. The ship has a small crew of humans running it, and cannot explain why the black hole has not swallowed them up. The ship also has a horde of a slave race known as the Ood on board, controlled by the crew. They are drilling into the surface of the nearby ...
Advantages: Great rebirth of the doctor Disadvantages: None really
plummeted. There was a TV movie starring Paul McGann in 1996, which I vaguely remember, and then a 9 year gap before Russell T Davies revamped the doctor as Christopher Eccleston. The show has been immensely popular and is still going strong, with David Tennant now playing the Time Lord and soon to be replaced with Mat Smith.
The DVD series
The first DVD features the first 3 episodes of what is called Series 1. Although it's not the first series ever, it is the first of the more modern series, and so it is thus called.
Episode 1 - Rose
The first episode of the new series naturally has a bit of explaining to do after such a long time away from the screen. Although there was a film in 1996, no episodes had been made since 1989, meaning a 16 year gap and a whole new generation of DoctorWho fans to impress. We are introduced in this ...
