In the new series of Doctor Who, 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 Doctor who! Apart from that its a brilliant buy.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
