Dr.Who-Complete 1st and 2nd Series 2pk (2005)

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.

The Complete Second Series: Can Rose trust a man with a new face? David Tennant (Viva Blackpool, Harry Potter) steps into the role of the Doctor, now in his 10th incarnation. Following on from the phenomenal success of the first series, The Complete Second Series is full of more thrills, more laughs, more heartbreak and some terrifying new aliens and old acquaintances. The Doctor and Rose meet Queen Victoria, an evil race of Cat Women, K9 and Sarah Jane, and the dreaded Cybermen.
 
"This rebirth and reinvigoration of the series is a complete and utter success."  Eric Profancik, DVD Verdict
"...[Eccleston's] wit and excellent acting gave the Doctor new life and revealed new sides to the character."  Lesley Smith, DVD Times
 


Editor's Note

THE FIRST SEASON: Christopher Eccleston (SHALLOW GRAVE, EXISTENZ) plays the ninth incarnation of DOCTOR WHO, as with U.K. pop starlet Billie Piper playing the part of his companion, Rose, the Doctor embarks on yet more far-flung and improbable adventures: traveling 5,000,000,000 years into the future as the Earth is about to be swallowed by the sun, escaping from a mysterious space-station where the contestants are trapped in demented versions of popular reality-TV shows, and facing an old and terrible menace, the Daleks.

THE SECOND SEASON: The BBC continues in its successful quest to rebrand the iconic DOCTOR WHO franchise with this second series of 21st-century episodes. The kitschy sets of old have been discarded, and David Tennant takes over from Christopher Eccleston as the 10th incarnation of the Doctor. Former pop star Billie Piper remains at the Doctor's side, playing his assistant, Rose, and a vast array of villains and intergalactic troublemakers face them as they zip through the galaxy in the Tardis. This time out, Queen Victoria and the Cybermen come face to face with Tennant's Doctor, and longstanding fans of the show will be delighted to see the robotic dog K9 returning.
