Doctor Who: The Christopher Eccleston & David Tennant Collection

Excellent DVD set for the first four seasons of the 2005 Doctor Who series. The discs themselves were fine (playable) and the box they came in is nice (as far as DVD boxes go). I also purchased the Matt Smith and the Peter Capaldi DVD sets (which I also recommend) and will probably buy the Jodie Whittaker DVD set (once the price comes down, that is). Also, another reviewer stated that there were missing episodes. Nooooo, don't believe that because these discs contain ALL of the episodes and specials. They were likely making an ASSUMPTION about missing episodes since S1 Episode 13 is not on disc 1, it's actually on disc 2. Do I recommend? Yes, yes I do. Do i regrest this purchase? No, not at all.

Got a great price on this Nu-Who set. Very pleased.

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.

Great collection of the beginning of the new Doctor Who franchise. Dad grew up watching the originals and this was before my time but it introduced me to his favorite time traveler without subscribing to a monthly service to see the original show. Perfect for Sci-fi fans of any age, campy humor, some mild violence, basic adult words (nothing too harsh). Fit for a good Saturday afternoon binge watching.

The packaging is subpar, but the set contains all episodes, including Christmas specials, which is exactly what I was looking for. I transferred the disks to a holder with all the other doctors' sets for a one stop collection.

This is a great collection for a great price. It has all the Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant episodes, including the specials. It was exactly what I wanted. After reading other reviews, I was really concerned that this set would come with scratched discs. Luckily, there were no scratches and all the discs played great. I took away a star because the cases holding the discs really do suck and likely will cause scratches if I keep the discs in the original cases. Overall, I’m super pleased with this purchase. I would definitely recommend it to someone who wants to be able to watch all these episodes whenever they want.

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 .

Arrived in perfect shape and really quickly, have all the episodes and special episodes of the ninth and tenth Doctor (except The Day of the Doctor, but it is more a 11thishe Doctor's special episode so that is why), have amazing quality and even though you probably know it already because Doctor Who, it is the best show ever. The only things I'm not a big fan of are the 2 clips systems used to hold the dvds in the box, because I always feel like I can damage the DVD when I get it in or out of the box, but I don't think this is bad enough to make the product lose a star or even half of one because you can just put it in a safer case if you are too afraid to break them.

don’t understand those reviewers who complained about the packaging and state of the discs., very sturdy box set contains many disc very well. very happy with the product.

Incluyen las primeras temporadas completas, con especiales de navidad y todo. Además el menú de inicio es muy lindo para seleccionar cada episodio. Me pareció una gran compra por el precio, es mucho más bárato que conseguirlos de manera individual.

É ótimo rever meus episódios favoritos dessa nova leva da série, a qualidade é a qualidade que foi gravada a série, então com um leitor bom da pra aproveitar até que bem. Tem todos os episódios pelo que me lembro, inclusive os especiais de natal. Só faltou sem region-free, pois não me atentei que era região 1 e tive por consequência que comprar um aparelho leitor de dvd novo só para esses dvds.

As a Doctor who fan I started watching the day I got the dvds. It strange how much I forgot. Still love watching Doctor Donna ❤️
