Product Description
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. Includes The Long Game, Father's Day, The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hugo Award winners 2006, March 8, 2007

By	ophelia99 (USA) - See all my reviews

It is worth noting that the two-part episode included on this disk, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, set in London during the Blitz, won the 2006 Hugo for best science fiction Dramatic Presentation Short Form -- and have the kind of dramatic quality that will hold up long after most contemporary science fiction will seem cheesy and dated. The courage and decency of characters that you really come to care about,the originality, in video anyway, of the ideas,and the superb dialogue and acting make this well worth watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Dr. Who, October 22, 2007

By	Andromeda (Chicago) - See all my reviews

I've had a crush on Dr. Who for a long time because he is intelligent and low key and knows how to treat a lady. This latest incarnation fills the bill that Tom Baker left when he was the doctor. He is like the heroes of the past, Lancelot, Sherlock Holmes, Zorro, and all those daring men you fall in love with. Also, the adventures are absorbing and take you all over the galaxy through time and space and I have always admired H.G. Wells and the Time Machine and all those movies about going through space and time. The past or the future seems so tangible and yet, like death, no one will ever know what it's like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Doctor --great series!, May 25, 2009

By	Nashville Cat "Kaye" (Music City USA) - See all my reviews

I absolutely love Doctor Who. I previously watched the series on PBS with Thom Baker as the Doctor. My son discovered the series when David Tennant took over the role as the Doctor and we began watching together. We are both huge fans of the series. He owns all the dvd's including the Eccleston version of Dr Who and they are all terrific. Great acting and writing are a staple of the current Dr Who series. The stories are funny and sometimes quite touching. I have laughed, been scared silly (the episode Blink) and even cried. Excellent entertainment! I am sad that David Tennant is leaving the series and I hope the next actor to take over the role will be just as engaging.
