I bought the item for my husband who is a huge fan of the show. We even named one of our children after a character on the series, but unfortunately I didn't realize that by buying it from England ( where the series is from) that I wouldn't be able to watch it here in the USA. It will just gather dust.. what a bummer. So I made a bad choice.
Doctor Who was my favorite T.V series as a kid, and this DVD is excellent! In the first episode, Aliens Of London, Rose and the Doctor return to the normal time line, hoping for peace. But it was a mistake. Strange things begin to happen, such as alien spaceships landing, and its clear aliens have landed in london. In the second episode, World War Three, the alien battle continues. The Doctor forces the army to his side, as they try taking down the many aliens. But the only weapon strong enough appears to be a nucleur missile. Last but definately not least, Dalek. As Rose and the Doctor travel forwards in time, they arrive in a strange museum for alien belongings, and deep down we meet the Doctors worst fear. The Dalek! But he's trapped, as a hostage. Until, at long last he is let loose...taking out all in his path! How will the docter get out of this one? No matter what you think about this not being as good as the old series, it's just as good! You won't be let down by this DVD.Read full review
Doctor Who - The New Series - Vol. 2 (DVD) This DVD IS FANTASTIC, after Christopher ECCLESTONS' departure, i wondered how they could match the storylines, but the BBC did it! The production is superb! You have to buy this DVD, amzing is the word, you will never be bored with this, the stories inter-link and the meander of time in the stories wrap each other and so cleverly done, many of the details is so interesting the characters of ROSES' family start to shine, and the way the Doctor is changing of the viewer? i say that with a metaphor, the stle is the same, but your finding out more abou the DALEKS AND THE TIME WAR! This one DVD TO BUY A MUST! 5/5 "YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE BUY ON EBAY!"
Not the best from the the modern Series 1, the last volume is best overall. Christopher Eccleston should have been given another series and IMO is much better in the role compared to Matt Smith. The Slavene (sp.) are one of the softer aliens of recent years. By far the best episode on the DVD is Dalek, this will go down in the history of the Doctor vs Daleks and explains how it survived the Time War, also we see a calming of the Doctor's persona, mainly caused by Rose having him think twice, from one of rage and revenge being straight from the Time War to that of a more pacifist role. Worth every penny for the three episodes. The one thing that spoils it is that there is a major lip sync issue at the beginning of the first episode on this DVD. It is the same with the equivalent DVD from the boxset - BBC get your product production act in order! If the lip sync issue wasn't there I would have given the product 5 stars.Read full review
The second DVD of the new Doctor Who sees a 2 parter featuring a new enemy called the Slitheen and the return of the Doctor's most famous and feared opponents - the Daleks. The Slitheen 2 parter ('Aliens of London' and 'World WarIII')has many fine moments - the decoy spaceship crashing into Big Ben and then the Thames, the reintroudction of UNIT from the 70's era, a spacepig (!), the development of Rose's mum and boyfriends characters and the introduction of Harriet Jones MP). For the adults, however, the Slitheen appear somewaht puerile although the children genuinely appear to love the changing skinsuits and farting (sorry, gas suit emissions!). Overall, good fun but one of the weaker stories in the season. The 6th epsiode (the third on this disc) is simply called "Dalek" and is without doubt one of the best relaunches of a jaded concept ever. The writer punches hard and to the point - Daleks are incredibly evil and terrifying creatures and yes they can fly! The remodelled Dalek looks the job and Eccleston is great throughout - one of his best performances. Genuinely one of the best Doctor Who scripts ever! Titbit: The Doctor and Rose pick a new friend (Adam) at the end - you can see what happens to him tthe next episode. One warning - there are no extra's with this disk - you need the TARDIS complete season one boxset for them. But with the emotional punch of "DALEK", who cares! So 3/5 for the Slitheen, 10/5 for Dalek - 5/5 overall!Read full review
