Oh Doctor Beeching - Complete Series 1 (DVD)

Advantages: Great viewing for all the family
Disadvantages: none

...Well, it had been a long break since the last Doctor Who and bringing it back in the 21st century would always be a risk, but with all the modern special effects tricks available the new series should make interesting viewing. *The first episode, Rose, sees the doctor (Christopher Eccleston) rescuing Rose (Billie Piper) from the dreaded shop dummies in a department store on their very first meeting.

Rose works in a department store in london, and it seems like an averagly boring day for her until she is caught in a mess when the shop dummies come to life! She finds herselve being saved by a mysterious man with a blue box, who goes by the name The Doctor from these creatures! But who is controlling them, and can the Doctor safe everybody else...? This was the first Series 1 episode I saw, though I started to watch Doctor Who from Series 2. I am quite a stubborn person so I was certain I was not going to like Chris Eccleston as the Doctor, but I did! I adore him!

And now I am terrified of 'autons' and shop window dummies! ***TheEndOfTheWorld: The Doctor takes... Read review
