Doctor Who: The Christopher Eccleston & David Tennant Collection [DVD]

Have been watching Who for 45 years. It is to bad that it will be at an end naw that Disney bought it and ruined it.

This was the era of Dr Who that I happened to enjoy most, so was glad to find this set of DVDs that covered the range.

Excellent-These two are my very favorite Dr Who characters.

The box comes with 12 discs, broken up into 3-4 episodic chunks. The last 3 specials, the Waters of Mars, and the End of Time Parts 1 and 2 on the final disc.Came with zero dents or any sort of damage. Although the last two discs somehow popped out during transit, they were however undamaged.Would recommend to any Doctor Who fans!!

Gosh. Just what I needed for my Whovian peace of mind, a collection of the complete seasons of the best of the new Who.Sure, everyone has their favorite and I'm going to go through mine. Just pointing out that my choices are the correct ones, since I'm never wrong (except when I am).So, you get seasons 1-4 in this box set, along with the Christmas specials. Woo hoo.Season 1 brings back the Doctor and changes his companion relationship to a more modern and much friendlier version. Perhaps a bit too far, given the Doctor's notorious decades of putting distance in that area, but refreshingly handled (at least for these seasons).Seasons 2-4 bring on David Tennant, the best of the new Doctors. He captures much of the best of the old (Tom Baker) while fitting in nicely with the modern plots. He has great comedic timing without the clowning of Matt Smith and can be just as dark as Peter Capaldi.We'll never know just how good Christopher Eccleston could have been as the Doctor, due to his abrupt departure after just one season, but he did superb work setting the foundation for the Doctors to come.Whether Smith was a clown by nature or by script, his seasons somewhat suffered from this and the insufferable Clara episodes. Likewise, Peter Capaldi was wasted during his two years as Clara's assistant, so we'll never truly know about him either. Finally, our new Doctor, Jodie Whittaker, is painful to watch. Not because of the novelty of a female Doctor, but the heavy-handed scripts that too often try to squeeze out "messages" instead of sci-fi.So, this is as good as you're going to get and it's darn good!I know there are some complaints about packaging, but the only thing I can fault is the annoying "overlap" style, which means you have to lift the top disc to get at the next one. If you're binge watching, not a big deal, but if you doing this over several weeks, eh.Otherwise, the discs seem quite secure and the package is a real space saver compared to 4 separate boxes.It's a great deal for a a great deal of Doctoring fun.

I don’t know why people have a problem with these cases . I look for cheap tv series in these cases just so I can get the case- because no one sells them . I’ve bought over 30 of them and used them to consolidate a lot of my complete tv series . I wish all complete tv series came in these boxes . Here is the problem people have - each side of the tray holds 2 discs but they must go on in a certain way . One hub is higher than the other . This is for the disc that is on top . The other one is lower , this disc goes on the bottom underneath the top disc . If you can’t see it with your eyes , then feel it with your fingers . If you have the bottom disc on the top hub and the top disc on the bottom hub , yes it’s gonna be hard to put on or take off ! And then I can see how you might crack them . And those 2 tabs might be a little tight at first but they loosen up real quick . To begin with, you just push them down to release the disc . You don’t pry them up .

Uh, I don't have it. Although I assume the person that does is currently enjoying the science fiction epic.

Got this collection at a great price during Xmas time. I wasn't familiar with Dr. Who, but my daughter recommended the set to me, so I picked it up. Usually I lean toward blu-ray formats, but the DVDs are in great shape, produce an excellent picture, and offer 5.1 sound. Each disc has 4-5 episodes, so even if you're a major Dr. Who fan, you'll need time and lots of sick leave to binge through all of them. I won't pretend to comment on the stories themselves (I believe in maintaining good relations with the Brits), but I can safely say many are fun, some quite moving (I could feel my two hearts breaking), and a few just kinda silly. Production values improved a lot as the series moved more deeply into the David Tennant episodes. And, of course, . . . there's Rose (sigh). Why couldn't I ever meet a woman with a British accent?! They all seem so, you know, . . . brilliant! One thing for the easily frustrated and unusually clumsy to note: I had quite a time trying to free each disc from the case they arrived in. Probably me, and not enough of a concern to drop a star, but sometimes I thought I'd crack a disc as I struggled to get each one free. I'm storing them in a CD Wallet so I avoid that problem in the future -- if there is a future. How can anyone know for sure, when all those pesky Daleks keep popping up. Anyway, what's my recommendation before I'm atomized, evaporated or reduced to a fine powder? It's "Exterminate!" -- no, what's come over me -- I mean, "Buy!" this set, especially if you catch it on sale.
