Goodbye, David Tennant March 11, 2010 Andrew Lederer (United States) This is it - final DVD collection for David Tennant in his role as the Doctor. This 5 disc set is an excellent addition to the DVD library of Doctor Who fans that want some great extras - for example, David Tennant's Video Diary and Doctor Who Confidential. Here in the USA, DW Confidential is not shown - so it was a great full version. DVDs from prior seasons had smaller versions of DW Confidential - so it was great to see it all especially for a fan that did not have access to those.
The quality of the DVDs was excellent and since I waited and did not plan on getting the individual DVDs figuring that a box set would be made - this is definitely a treat that I've been waiting for since the beginning of 2009. All in all, David Tennant is a strong presence and a Doctor that sets the bar very high.
Interestingly when I first saw these when they originally aired, some of the writing seemed strange - but the extras on this DVD really helped to see the logical reason within Doctor Who history to have these exist. Not that I agreed with everything - but it was a fun ride and absolutely brilliant.
This DVD set also marks a goodbye to many companions- including Donna Noble - my absolute favorite companion of all time! All in all - this DVD set is about change and counting down until the regeneration and appearance of Doctor #11 Matt Smith. Yeah, there are some big shoes to fill - definitely David will be missed.
Hard to do this set justice. March 10, 2010 Michael Valdivielso (Alexandria, VA) Five discs, with five episodes and seven HOURS of special features, which is a great deal no matter how you add it up. The stories are great, powerful, emotional, with such stars as Lindsay Duncan, David Morrissey, and Timothy Dalton. Big stars for big stories! Cybermen, the Master, and, yes, one scene with a Dalek. A flashback, but still, it counts, it counts! It is a lovely, painful, but brilliant last send off for the Tenth Doctor, the amazing David Tennant.
I'll miss him - he has become THE Doctor out of all the wonderful actors who have played the Doctor.
awesome extras March 9, 2010 Greyt Mama (Philadelphia, PA) I love my Doctor! The extras on these put this collection over the edge. My children and I have watched Dr. Who at the Proms at least six times now. I will miss David.
Great product March 8, 2010 dubbug (Flagstaff, AZ) Received the Doctor Who complete specials right on time. It is a excellent dvd set. "Who" would want to miss David Tennent!
Doctor Who is on BLU-RAY !!!! March 8, 2010 D. Brooks after facing Davros and dropping Rose Tyler off in her parallel world with the meta-crisis Doctor, the 10th incarnation of everyone's favorite time lord continues on with his adventures alone. the pain inflicted upon his past few companions being too much for him to bear...
in this set you'll get "The Next Doctor". the Christmas special from 2009 where The Doctor must figure out the cybermen's latest scheme, and discover why there is a man in 1851 going around as "The Doctor". is he the next incarnation of The Doctor ?
in "Planet of the Dead", The Doctor goes looking for a wormhole and he, a jewel thief, and a bus load of people get transported to another planet covered in nothing but sand. or is it sand ?
"The Waters of Mars" sees The Doctor perusing the landscape of "the red planet" when he gets drawn in to the tragic events involving a small crew who end up being the first colony on Mars. thus beginning a chain of events that will ultimately force The Doctor to question who he, as the last time lord, really is....
the final 10th Doctor story "The End of Time" parts 1&2 sees our hero having to deal with the return of an enemy thought to be dead. when in reality, his return begins a chain of events that could truly be the end of time....
the episodes look great & were a fitting farewell to the most popular Doctor ever !
the special features are a lot of fun too.
this set was everything I wanted it to be. VERY satisfied.
BRING ON THE 11TH DOCTOR !!!!
