Advantages: Great stories Disadvantages: Rose needs developing
...is capable of as the Doctor in his first two episodes, he jumps straight in as if it had been him all along in the following episodes. In fact, this is technically true of the character, as the Doctor is the same person with regeneration giving him a different outlook.
The three episodes in this DVD have many 'in' jokes and moments that many might not get. I watched them with my wife, who has seen them all before and has just recently finished watching ... ...Tooth and Claw

Intro
Doctor Who is a BBC Science Fiction show created in the 1960s, cancelled in the late '80s and relaunched in 2005. Doctor Who focuses on a main character known as "The Doctor" an alien with a human appearance who has the ability to travel through time and space in a spaceship called a TARDIS. The Doctor has the ability to create a new body, often with a new personality (known as "regenerating") in order to cheat death. Christopher Eccleston ... ...New Doctor
The Tenth Doctor is just as engaging as the previous Doctor. He reveals a friendly, extrovert personality in the first volume of the second series, topped a manic grin and just as much energy for adventure as the Ninth Doctor before him. The Doctor seems recovered from his guilt for surviving the Time War which killed the rest of his race, the Time Lords, and is now a happy and positive individual, until provoked. When angered, the Tenth ...

*****
Doctor Who started way back in 1963, with William Hartnell playing the Doctor! And his performance must have been so strong as we as a whole are still obsessed with this gripping programme, 44 years later!
Since then, we have met 10 Doctors, and adored every one of them! Our latest Doctor is played by the lovely David Tennant, living up-to-date adventures in his big blue box, more commonly known as a TARDIS. But the Doctor ... ...three fantastic adventures with the Doctor and his companion, Rose (Billie Piper).

Advantages: brilliantly worked storylines with high quality throughout Disadvantages: not suitable for children under 6
An extremly enjoyable and 5 star family entertainment product. The high standars of acting, special effects and powerful dialogue by russell. T. Davies culminates in probably one of the best sci-fi TV series to grace our screens. It is well worth buying as it is not until you re-watch several times until you get all the subtle references and jokes included. The bringing back of an ex-doctors assistant means that there is something extra for long ...
