...Intro Doctor Who is a BBC Science Fiction show created in the 1960s, cancelled in the late '80s and relaunched in 2005.

Advantages: Great Entertainment.
Disadvantages: No Special Features.

...When Doctor Who returned to our TV screens last year I don't think people expected it to be the great success it has become. Then when Christopher Eccleston announced he was leaving we could not believe it. Why would you want to leave such a brilliant role? Anyway off he went and in came David Tennant to fill his shoes. I was worried Tennant would not be as good as Eccleston but I have to say I am wrong and this first DVD in the new second series of the show is one of the best yet and here is why. ----- What is Doctor Who? Doctor Who is about a travelling time lord and his companion. Together they travel through time and space looking for monsters and strange lands that they can explore and every so often they have to save the world again. Well it is all in a hard days work for these pair. ----- Cast: David Tennant... Read review

Advantages: Colin Baker at his best
Disadvantages: the special features disk

...What I am reviewing is the two disk DVD Doctor Who story "The Two Doctors" As the series had success with The Three Doctors in 1972/3 and The Five Doctors in 1983 for special anniversary editions they decided these were very good storylines but due to the actors not all of them could appear all the time. The show decided to do another story of the Doctor meeting his former self and this was possible due to the enthusiasm of Patrick Troughton. Patrick was always up for apperaring in these stories and loved the show. With the current cast of Colin Baker as the Doctor and Nicola Bryant as Peri they were joined by Patrick and Frazer Hines who played Jamie from Patricks time as the doctor 1966-69. Also apperaring in the cast was Jacqueline Pearce who you may remember as "Servalan" in Blakes 7 This was not an anniversary show... Read review
