...home for Christmas, but The Doctor is still recovering from his latest regeneration and looks to spending this holiday in a coma. It's up to Rose, Jackie, and Mickey to keep him safe until he recovers. Any easy task... until the Sycorax arrive on earth and hold one third of the world's population hostage! It's a "Christmas Invasion", but will the Doctor recover in time to act once more as the Earth's Champion? Favorite quote: "Ahh, not bad for a ...
...a nice man." ~ The Doctor Season two of Doctor Who unwraps itself with like a Christmas cracker... a bit of noise and flash to celebrate some simple fun. Throughout the season, we see Rose coming to terms with some of the less pleasant aspects of time traveling with the Doctor, and their friendship strengthen. This incarnation of the Doctor seems generally happier than the one we were originally introduced to in the first season, and we get the sense ...

Advantages: Great acting and writing
Disadvantages: Episodes spoilt by the subplot context

...third series of the modern Doctor Who gives us 4 episodes, two of which are a double-episode tale involving the Doctor's long serving arch enemies, the Daleks.

Review of Doctor Who - Series 3 Vol.2 (DVD)

New series, new Doctor!

Advantages: Great regeneration
Disadvantages: None really

...Eccleston left the role of Doctor Who, many were disappointed as he had sparked the new age of Doctor Who, and it seemed as if he was the answer to keeping the show going. However, up stepped David Tennant at the end of the final episode of the first series, and it is here that he gets his teeth stuck into the role. Having watched the first series in a relatively short space of time (1 week!), I found myself very much intuned with Eccleston in the ...

David Tennant asserts himself

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 ...
