Voyage Of The Damned DVD

Advantages: interesting, great cast, hilareous extra
Disadvantages: only one proper episode :(

...The first day it was released, I ventured into town to purchase the latest edition to my Doctor Who DVD collection; Voyage Of the Damned: The 2007 Christmas episode. As soon as I arrived home with it, into the DVD player it went to let the fun begin! What's It All About? -------------------------- Doctor Who started way back in 1963, with William Hartnell playing the Doctor, a last of the Time Lords from Gallifrey. His performance must have been as immense as the nation is still obsessed with this gripping programme, 44 years later! Since then, we have met 10 Doctors, and adored every one of them!
