5 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!    January 7, 2009
P. Huddleson (Syracuse)
I would never watch the original BBC series with my husband, who is a Dr. Who fanatic but, I love this series. Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper are superb together. Great fun!

'nuff said. It's hard not to love any show she's in. Not for me, anyway. :)

Aside from that, Dr. Who is Dr. Who and nothing else will do. They haven't managed to louse it up in over 30 years and the tradition continues. Love every minute of it.


4 out of 5 stars One of the BEST ways to revive an old series    December 31, 2008

Doctor Who is a wonderful series that takes all viewers on a trip and expands a person's normal universe exponentially. Each episode details the adventures of a time lord, a type of alien in the show, called the Doctor and the companions that come along for the journey. Its a Sci-fi classic and a must see for anyone who enjoys watching random adventures and the occasional technobabble

Christopher Eccleston's portrayal of the 9th incarnation of the Doctor, brings a comedic no-nonsense sarcasm to this series that breathes life into this once dead series. Billie Piper is Rose Tyler the newest companion and grounds the Doctor, and while he shows her new worlds, she shows him a new perspective.

All in all I highly recommend this to all who are interested in wanting to begin watching this series or any one who really enjoys Sci-fi.

A must have for any Dr. Who or sci-fi fan! and they are about half the price of what they are charging at the big chain stores. still kinda expensive but well worth it.


4 out of 5 stars The big BBC revival    December 24, 2008
R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States)
The "Time Lord" is reborn in the modern BBC series.
This result is sort of like Dr Who the next generation.
It is humorous and interesting: a fun sci fi show that mostly
you can let the kids watch too.
This set of dvd's is the first season of mayhem
and time and space travel in a telephone booth.
It certainly beats most American / Hollywood sci fi series of late
which seem to have a dreadful dark and vampire type approach.
