DVD Reviews of Doctor Who - The Complete First Series
DVD Review: My Second Favorite Season of the New Series
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love Doctor Who. I think the acting is phenomenal and the stories always get more creative every episode. I think Christopher Eccelston was a funny yet passionate Doctor. I love the character of Rose Tyler portrayed by Billie Piper. She is and always will be my favorite character on the show. I love the way Rose and the Doctor's relationship grew throughout the season and how much they grow to love each other. They are probably my favorite couple EVER. I live in Hawaii so I would always watch Doctor Who on the computer. It was so awesome to be able to see it on my TV. I can't wait to get the second season as that is my favorite. But I strongly recommend you get this box set if you live in the States since it doesn't normally air here. Or if you're just an all around die hard Doctor Who fan. I bought it for both reasons :)DVD Review: Doctor don't go!

Description of Doctor Who - The Complete First Series
Christopher Eccleston's Doctor is wise and funny cheeky and brave. An alien and a loner his detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world's in danger. But when it comes to human relationships he can be found wanting. That's why he needs Rose. From the moment they meet the Doctor and Rose understand and complement each other. As they travel together through time encountering new adversaries the Doctor shows her things beyond imagination.Running Time: 585 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC:?794051250124 Manufacturer No:?E2501The venerable science fiction program Doctor Who returned to British televisions in 2005 after a 15-year absence and delighted the majority of fans and critics with its adherence to the adventure and charm of the original series while making admissions for a new generation of viewers (hipper editing and score, CGI effects). Thirteen episodes were generated, all starring Christopher Eccleston as the ninth Doctor and pop-singer-turned-actress Billie Piper as his companion Rose; acclaimed writer/producer Russell T. Davies (Touching Evil, Queer as Folk) oversaw the show as chief writer and executive producer. The new series proved so popular that the BBC agreed to revive the program for second and third seasons--though without Eccleston, who has since been replaced by David Tennant. This six-disc set comes with all 13 episodes plus the battery of supplemental features now customary to all Doctor Who DVD releases.
Eccleston is very engaging in the title role, bringing a manic curiosity tempered by occasional bouts of gravity (which befit a personality with a long and dramatic a lifespan as the Doctor's) that hew closely to the (arguably) most popular Doctor, Tom Baker. Piper is equally adept as department store clerk Rose--she's afforded more of a back story than most of the Doctor's sidekicks have received in the past, and she more than handles her own alongside Eccleston. Highlights among the 13 episodes include the season opener, "Rose" (which sees the return of an old foe, the Autons, and their controlling force, the Nestene Consciousness); the revamped Daleks in "Dalek" and the two-parter "Bad Wolf" and "The Parting of the Ways"; a trip to Victorian England to aid Charles Dickens in "The Unquiet Dead," and of course, the arrival of the tenth Doctor at the conclusion of the action-packed "Parting of the Ways." The episodes strike the right blend of quirk, excitement, and imagination, thanks largely to the engaging performances and the guidance of Davies, whose admiration for the show and its history is evident throughout.
Supplemental features--and there are many--including commentary on all 13 episodes by members of the cast and crew, including Piper and Davies; numerous making-of featurettes, including a profile of Davies; a video diary by Piper; an interview with Eccleston, and best of all, a glimpse at the 60-minute Christmas special, "The Christmas Invasion," which picks up where the series concludes. Who fans won't be disappointed. --Paul Gaita
