In late-2008, David Tennant announced that he would depart from the long-running science-fiction series "Doctor Who" after four-plus years as the Tenth Doctor. His three regular seasons on "Doctor Who" saw the show reach its highest peak of quality and success. For his final year, he would star in five special episodes that would conclude the Tenth Doctor's journey through time and space. These final specials are packaged here in "Doctor Who: The Complete Specials." And they deliver a fun, exciting, and emotionally-charged finale for Tennant.

The set begins with "The Next Doctor," the 2008 Christmas special. It's another fun adventure designed to bring fun family viewing. It's slightly predictable, and kind of wacky, but that's the spirit of the classic series, but does so with great visuals, fine storytelling and terrific performances.

The next episode, "Planet of the Dead," is the 2009 Easter special, where the Doctor and a bus-full of people are swept through a wormhole to a barren planet. While definitely the weaker episode in the bunch, it still delivers fun excitement, though being the first episode shot in High-def, the visual effects workers failed to match it with fine CG effects. But still, it's a fun adventure story, and the end warns the Doctor that his song will end; that something is returning through the dark, and that "he will knock four times."

The middle episode, "The Waters of Mars," aired in November 2009. The Doctor lands on Mars in 2059, where creatures who inhabit the Martian water inhabit the human colonists there. But unlike most cases, where the Doctor must save the day, all the crew of Bowie Base One are in a fixed point in time, meaning they all must die. This is by far the scariest adventure of "Doctor Who," but not for the creatures. Here, we see the Doctor gain a scary arrogance, as he saves the crew, breaking the laws of time. The suicide of one of the characters at the end breaks him of it, and he realizes he's gone too far, and knows his end is nigh. While an eerie, thrilling adventure with terrific storytelling and acting, this is one episode not suitable for family viewing because of it's darker tone and ominous conclusion.

Rounding out the set are the definite-best episodes found in this collection: "The End of Time, Parts One and Two," aired on Christmas Day 2009 and New Years' Day 2010. While this two-part adventure has drawn some criticism from fans, I feel it is the best adventure that has come out of the Russell T. Davies' era of Who. In this adventure, the Doctor once again faces his best enemy, the Master, while reuniting with Wilfred Mott, Donna Noble's Granddad, to face the greatest threat of all. It's a hilarious, wacky, and fun adventure in the spirit of the classic series, and pulls out all the stops to give David Tennant a fond farewell. While most of the story is definitely fun, the final twenty minutes, where the Doctor must sacrifice himself to save Wilf, and see all of his friends one last time before he regenerates, will definitely pull at the heart strings of all fans of the show. And though Tennant's departure is very sad, the arrival of Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor is hilarious, and gears us up for the beginning of the next era of the long-running series.

This five-disc set marks the debut of "Doctor Who" on Blu-ray, and although the set is a little pricey, it's definitely worth it! The picture quality is fantastic, and the extras are terrific! The one complaint is the audio, with the dialogue slightly drowned out by the music and sound effects. But this is a small problem, and doesn't take away from this amazing set.

Overall, the good Doctor's debut on Blu-ray is terrific, and the five fantastic episodes on this set deliver an excellent farewell for David Tennant as the Doctor. I highly recommend it. Allon-sy!

Program/DVD Grade: A+

It was inevitable that David Tennant had to leave Doctor Who. After all, part of the character's history has been the regenerations which allow the character to become another person (As well as allow for the actor playing The Doctor to be replaced). So the time came for Tennant--wildly popular in the role, and greatly responsible for reenergizing the character--to go, but BBC and Russell T. Davies couldn't evolve Tennant into Matt Smith without a fond and warm farewell. Which seems the purpose of the five specials. I don't see the post-series specials--I know some complained that "The Christmas Invasion" from Series 2, "The Runaway Bride" from Series 3, and "The Voyage Of The Damned" from Series 4 weren't in this collection, but those were all more separate one-offs--as standing on their own as much as I saw them as being comparable to the "Torchwood: Children Of Earth" mini-series. To me, the five episodes of this set had the obvious undertone of preparing for the regeneration--"The ending of The Doctor's Song" as the Ood put it in "The End Of Time, Part I"--but also (Obviously) wanting to send Tennant out on a heroic and sad note. This is why--for the most part--David doesn't have a constant Companion throughout these episodes. These episodes also show that our favorite TimeLord isn't as infallible as we usually believe him to be--otherwise, he would have realized immediately in "The Two Doctors" that David Morrisey's "Doctor" isn't who/what he assumed him to be (Specifically, a future version of himself). Or the final sadness of "The Waters Of Mars", in which The Doctor chooses to interfere with the time stream...and things do not quite work out the way he believed that they would.

But overall, this is a fun and good set of episodes in which Tennant gets to say goodbye to a character which made him internationally known (Or at least very well known stateside). "The Two Doctors"--which brings back the Cybermen--is a raucous romp, what with Morrissey's "Doctor" being there...and not quite being there.

"The Planet Of The Dead" introduces Michelle Ryan's Lady Christina de Souza--note to Steven Moffatt, here. Steve, here's a recurring character. You didn't bring her back in Series 5--fine. Find a place for her in Series 6, please. "The Waters Of Mars" is notable because of Lindsay Duncan's tortured performance as Adelaide Brooke is heartwrenching...and sets the table for "The End Of Time".

The two-parter that concludes the David Tennant era is as it should be--an epic tale that brings back The Master; and this time, John Simm is brilliantly unhinged...but ends up getting trumped by Timothy Dalton's raging, expectorating Lord President when the TimeLords return to bring Gallifrey--the homeworld of The Doctor and The Master--back into existence. Bernard Cribbins is wonderful as Wilfred Mott--Donna Noble's grandfather, and the keeper of Donna's experiences with The Doctor. He is loyal and sees The Doctor as a true hero--even when he becomes responsible for what The Doctor MUST do in the aftermath of (Once again) saving the planet...it is a shame that Catherine Tate feels somewhat wasted in this story, however. Privately, there have to be a lot of Whophiles out there who somehow and someway want the Donna we had throughout Series 4 back...but it is a nice touch that the way that he met Donna is the way that he leaves Donna--in a wedding dress.

The last 10 to 15 minutes of "The End Of Time, Part 2" are heart-wrenching; what with The Doctor saying good-bye to those he spent the last four-plus years with--Mickey and Martha (Anyone want to bet that we'll see Mr. and Mrs. Smith on "Torchwood"?). Luke and Sarah Jane. Captain Jack and Alonzo Frame (Before anyone mentions Alonzo joining Torchwood, remember that Russell Tovey has "Being Human" issues). Donna, Wilf and Sylvia Noble.

And finally, Rose.

In the end, we can't ask Matt Smith to replace or replicate what David Tennant did with his Tenth Doctor. What we end up asking for is for Matt to add to the legacy of the character...because David CERTAINLY did.

If you're a fan of Doctor Who, or just good science fiction, who's been putting off the upgrade to Blu-ray...here's a most compelling reason to make the switch now. These 4 special episodes shine brightly in the hi-def format. BBC gave us a taste of this with last year's release of Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead [Blu-ray] (which was the first episode to be filmed in HD) as well as the 3 series of Torchwood. I'm not sure what the British are doing different from the U.S. or other countries, but their hi-definition programs are simply the best I have seen in the format.

On the chance that you're not familiar with these special episodes themselves, here's a quick run-down. Please note, this review does contain minor SPOILERS:

THE NEXT DOCTOR: The 2008 Christmas special. The Doctor visits Victorian England, where he encounters another man claiming to be the Doctor. I won't spoil the surprise, but there are some nice twists and a standout performance from David Morrisey in the title role. This was the first of the modern Doctor's episodes without a regular companion. It was also the last episode before the switch to hi-definition, but the upconvert used here looks fantastic, so it's really a non-issue as far as I'm concerned.

PLANET OF THE DEAD: Aired on Easter, 2009. The Doctor and a woman on the run (The Bionic Woman's Michelle Ryan) are among a busload of passengers who find themselves stranded on a desert planet overrun with terrifying flying creatures. Most folks agree this one's just an average adventure. But, it looks stunning.

THE WATERS OF MARS: A great, creepy tale set on mid-21st century Mars. The Doctor has some hard choices to make when he realizes a group of Martian colonists are destined to die on the day he arrives. It's also one of David Tennant's finest hours, as he begins to confront the prophecy regarding his own death that he was told at the end of Planet of the Dead.

THE END OF TIME: This two-parter was the end of David Tennant's tenure as the famous Time Lord. While confronting his own mortality, the Doctor also must face the enemy who knows him best. . .and the power of a forgotten race that is using the power of time itself to reshape its own destiny. It's a bit of a mixed bag (particularly part 1), but it's still highly engaging and a fitting resolution to the 10th Doctor's journey.

As with the individual season episodes, each special includes an hour-long documentary, Doctor Who Confidential. These are typically well-made and informative shows that die-hard fans will appreciate. Most everyone else will probably watch them once (if at all) and not again.

More interesting (to me, anyway) is "Doctor Who at the Proms," an hour-long special. It features the music of the show performed live at the Royal Albert Hall. But this is no mere concert; it features actors in costume as Cybermen, Judoon, etc. that interact with the audience. And it's hosted by Freema Aygemen, with an appearance by Catherine Tate.

As I said at the outset, these shows look fantastic on Blu-ray. If you're a fan, this is really a no-brainer. As Doctor Who moves into a new era with a new actor in the role, it's very gratifying to know that BBC is providing fans with the best possible versions of these final adventures with the 10th Doctor.

I wasn't at all sure I would like David Tennant as the Doctor after Christopher Eccleston, but in the last 3 years he has made his way into my "hearts". From "Christmas Invasion" to "The End of Time", he has evoked emotion and laughter. He showed incredible talent as a comedic actor when possessed by "Cassandra" in Series 2's "New Earth", then the complete emotional breakdown in series 3's "Human Nature". Each story grabbed my heart, but the final joy came when in "Journey's End", I could accutally see how the TARDIS was supposed to be flown and that it was being flown by the Doctor's "family".

I thought "The Next Doctor" was wonderful with David Morrissey's pain and David Tennant's sincere compassion as the two sorted out Morrissey's pain while overcoming the Cyberman invasion. This is an incredible episode, very satisfying.

"The Planet of the Dead" is a pretty good episode. It shows what the Doctor does best. He thinks on his feet and solves the problem in a somewhat logical matter. As Michelle Ryan's "Lady Christina" says "...you are the brain box, so start boxing." What made the episode complete was the comedic banter between Tennant and comedic actor Lee Evans. In the process of solving the problem Evans' "Malcolm" and the "Doctor" become "best friends". The ending when the Doctor refuses to allow Christina to travel with him shows how emotionally tired he really is. As he tells Christina, he loses all of his companions.

"The Waters of Mars" takes us back to the "behind the couch" era, humans infected by alien parasites turning into monsters. The most important part comes at the end wirh rhe Doctors crisis of "faith".

"The End of Time" pts 1 and 2 broke my heart. I knew they were to be David Tennant's last episodes, but nothing prepared me for the depth of writing talent and acting that was involved. Russell T Davis' writing was superb as always. I don't think there could ever be another such emotionally charged episode such as this one. David Tennant's young/old Doctor with Bernerd Cribbins' old Wilfrid Mott was sentimental with a simple father/son affection developing. The Doctor allowing himself to be taken care of by this old Earth man showed his incredible neediness. In the end when the Doctor saves Wilf's life at the cost of one of his own it seemed only right. As the regeneration progresses, the Doctor gets in his TARDIS and for the last time visits several of his companions. He saves Micky and Martha from a Sontarran attack; Sarah Jane's son, Luke, from an oncoming car and he gives a lonely and dejected Jack Harkness, sitting in an inter-galatic bar, the name of a young man who may or may not fill that emptiness. He visits Donna's wedding, knowing that only her mother and grandfather, Wilfrid, will know who he is.

Then in the final moment before his transformation he goes to the one place on Earth he felt he belonged, Rose Tyler's "Powell Estates". He watches her celebrate 2005's New Year, knowing that they will meet for the first time later that year in the personna of Chrisopher Eccleston. Then he heads for his TARDIS accompanied by Ood Sigma who relays the Ood song which spans the Universe. I cried.

Music adds a wonderful feeling to any show, but I have never seen the likes of Murray Gold. I'm sorry, but even John Williams pales in comparison.

I will give Matt Smith a chance, because the Doctor is one man, a Time Lord, with many different faces, but I will never forget David Tennant's important contributions to the new series. I will look forward to his other works to come.

I recommend this product, if you hadn't guessed already.

The title tells it all. The 11th Doctor, his script writers and producers, have some big shoes to fill. The Waters of Mars is one of the best Doctor Who stories ever and also one of the most disturbing as the Doctor displays enormous hubris in thinking he can change history and is "Lord of Time". His come-upance at the end is tragic. The Next Doctor and Planet of the Dead are entertaining one off tales. The End of Time is a typical Russell T. Davies series ending. If you liked his earlier season endings you'll like this. If not, well probably you shouldn't buy these DVDs. Full of action, pulling out all the stops, dragging in all the past companions, etc. The Doctor actually has about 4 death scenes before the real one; Davies really stretches that out as far as humanly (or Time Lordy) possible. The final 10 minutes are given over to a sort of farewell tour as the Doctor finds the time, while slowly dying, to play one last visit to all his significant companions of the series. Personally I lost patience with the tragic, Hamlet like despair Davies and Tennant gave to the Doctor for the past two years. Every other Doctor took death and regeneration pretty much in stride. They didn't necessarily like it but accepted it as part of who they were. The 9th doctor willingly took it on to save Rose for example. I feel it is a false note for the 10th Doctor to fight death with such despair and tragic overtones as what we've seen in the last regular season and in these specials. Nonetheless if you are a fan of the 10th Doctor these are must have discs.

I normally watch anything I buy on DVD first on TV or by some other medium to be sure I really want to own it. With the Doctor, I had been watching it all on SyFy (SciFi channel), but these specials haven't been aired to the best of my knowledge. So I took a chance and got the set on sale (Yeah Amazon!). Wow, what a great way to end Tennant's fantastic run. When they brought the Doctor back with Eccleston, I was impressed. Wasn't too happy to see him go, but quickly started enjoying the 10th Doctor as much as the 9th.

SPOILERS!!!

The first story threw me for a loop, The Next Doctor. I admit I was suckered in with the title and expected that to be the next doctor. It was an early look at the major personality shift in the doctor, that his view point can be persuaded. Nicely done.

Planet of the Dead was by far my favorite of all the specials. Michelle Ryan should have been given the status of a companion way earlier. It was so much fun to watch her and the Doctor playing off of each other with such bravado and quick wit. IMO, much better than the short lived Bionic Woman show. It was great seeing UNIT again, even without Martha or the Brigadier, and hopefully we'll see more of Malcolm in the future as well.

Waters of Mars was one of the most eerie shows I've seen in a long time, watching the Doctor walk away as the people were dying, and the major attitude adjustment(s) that came about because of it. I can honestly say that I've never seen such a sad and joyful turn of events all at once. Bravo to Tennant for such a remarkable portrayal of the Doctor and giving us a view at the kind of inner torment an Immortal would be possesed of. If someone is wishing to buy these specials separately, this would the one that I would insist owning just because of the remarkable character development.

And last, but certainly not least, The End of Time. It took me a bit of thinking to keep up with everything that was going on with the Time Lords, because I was busy looking for all of the references and guest shots, etc. I was expecting just a bit more of a revelation with Wilfred, his tie with the Time Lords, etc, but another one was knocked out of the park with casting Tim Dalton as Rasalon! Wow! He was perfect for it! And of course the return of the Master. I really enjoy watching the Doctor and the Master go at it, (don't judge me) even more than the Daleks or Cybermen. Although his blow up of powers was a bit over the top... it was still quite a treat to see him return. "The Master Race!" Oh my! My only real dissapointment in the story was not seeing Christopher Eccleston make a cameo at the end to help his successor into the Tardis or some such. Would have been perfect in my book.

I'm not going to comment on the extras, or lack thereof, as many others have done so. I will just say that this was a great set of episoded to bid farewell to the memorable 10th Doctor, and hopefully in the future we'll get to see him do a crossover with Matt Smith or in another way. I really believed that he didn't want to leave the show, with as much emotion as he seemed to pour into it, and it makes me wonder if the story that we were given is correct or not.

Enjoy!

* DISC ONE: The Next Doctor...

Very good story. Kinda hokey, at times. The backstory was a little rough around the edges. The Cyber King's 'transport device' looked like it came off of the movie set of either The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Sean Connery) or Wild Wild West (Will Smith). NOTE: I loved both of those movies. Having both Doctors not recognize each other was a situation that begged for an explanation and we weren't forced to wait too long. That explanation was delivered with an unexpected twist, of course.

* DISC TWO: Planet of the Dead...

Another very good story. The baddies were cool, even if we never learned whether they were sentient (thus evil) or hive-like (simply 'misunderstood'). Funny note...in real life, the bus got severely damaged while in transit to the filming location. Rather than ship a second bus, the writers/crew/cast used the broken one but added a line or two of dialogue to explain its scruffiness.

* DISC THREE: The Waters of Mars...

Pretty Good story. Loved the concept. Seemed to be directed well. Buuut, kinda lost its pizzazz somewhere in editing. And on a technical note: Mars has much lower gravity than Earth (one-sixth), but there was no explanation about why the Mars-bound characters had Earth-type gravity on a planet the size of Earth's moon. Even if they had a gravity-field generator, which all Sci-Fi shows do, that doesn't explain why the Doctor enjoyed full-on 1G when he made the long walk from the TARDIS to the humans' base.

* DISC FOUR & FIVE: The End of Time, part 1 & 2...

Wow! Just...wow!...in a good way, of course!! Lots of action, time-play, life-n-death moments, Time Lord meddling (Timothy Dalton), old faces revisited, and of course regular folks (a/k/a victims). Because I had a damaged DVD (explained below), I missed a few important facts from the end of part 1. Even so, the show was awesome!

I'm a little miffed at Amazon.com because disc four has 2 really bad scratches. They happened because the disc rubbed/pressed up against another DVD in the same case. Because of that, I missed 'Part One' from the 45-minute point onward. Roughly the last 15-20 minutes had to be endured in an infuriating self-stopping/starting/pausing mode that was also chock full of horrendous pixelations and countless soundtrack/picture mismatches. PLUS...large gaps of unseen/unseeable footage. I tried it in 3 different DVD players, including my laptop's, so it's definitely the DVD that's bad. Thankfully, Amazon.com has an awesome replacement policy!!!!

UPDATE 10/12/11 - The replacement arrived today. Its speedy arrival was both surprising and pleasing. Amazon.com gets an A+ on this one!!

All good things must end. For fans of Doctor Who this was true of the five specials which lead to the end of actor David Tennant's era as theTime Lord known only as the Doctor. Tennant's last five specials represents, in their various ways, what Doctor Who has been since it was revived in 2005: some of the best sci-fi TV in the world.

Kicking things off is The Next Doctor. The Doctor arrives in Christmas 1851 London at where he finds his old enemies the Cybermen but also a man claiming to be a future Doctor himself played wonderfully by David Morrisey (of the BBC's version of State Of Play). The fun of this special is watching the two Doctors at work together throughout and the result: a fun filled hour of action and adventure.

Next up is Planet of the Dead, costarring Michel Ryan (best known here in the States from the Bionic Woman remake). Here the Doctor and a group of people aboard one of London's double-deck buses are transported to a deserted planet. Soon they discover carnivorous stingray looking aliens bent on turning Earth into their new feeding ground. Planet of the Dead becomes rather predictable quickly though it is saved by the performances of Tennant and Ryan. Thankfully this is the only real dud of the five specials.

Waters of Mars, the third special, is one of the finest stories of the New Series. It features what is perhaps Tennant's best performance in the role as the Doctor deals with a crisis on humanity's first Mars colony in 2059. There's fine producton values as well ranging from the truly scary monsters, the realistic colony sets and the ever excellent direction of Graham Harper. Even better is the script by Russel T. Davies and Phil Ford which hits all the right notes of action, horror, suspense and yet asks the question at the heart of any time travel series: if you knew what was to happen and could change it, should you? In short it's a fine example of Doctor Who at its best.

Things end in the two part End Of Time. Following on a warning from the Ood, The Doctor races to the present in an attempt to stop the plans of the evil Time Lord The Master. With the help of Donna's venerable grandad Wilf, he finds events unfolding that even he might be unable to stop. Yet there's more going on as former 007 Timothy Dalton appears as the leader of the long thought dead Time Lords, whose return could spell the end of time itself and even the Doctor's own death. End Of Time is an action filled story that is nonetheless peppered with some strong emotional moments for Tennant and company. With all this, End Of Time sends out Tennant's Doctor before the new Doctor played by Matt Smith steps in next season.

With stories that range across time and space, these five specials represent a good cross section of stories from Doctor Who. There also a nice away to for fans new and old to say good-bye to one Doctor and hello to a new one. So farewell Mr. Tennant, you'll be sorely missed, and welcome aboard Mr. Smith!

Los episodios finales de David Tennant en HD y con mucho material extra, no puede faltar en la colección de cualquier fan de Doctor Who. Ojo no tiene subtítulos en español.

I have waited years to own this on Blu-Ray, so was extremely happy to find a copy available at such a good price. Arrived ahead of schedule, and works perfectly in my PS5 (Region B/PAL).

Arrived still in the wrapping, in perfect condition.

An absolute steal!

David Tennants era as the doctor is possibly the best era of Who since Tom baker was at the helm, from Rose right on through to The End Of Time Part one and two we have had fantastic stories from the get go! with great monsters, fantastic companions and two fantastic spin off shows (Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures)nothing can possibly beat this sci-fi show, but it's a show that has been so much more than that, it is also that nice combination of high taut drama with some fantastically realised comical sequences with high adrenaline comedy at its height, not to mention state of the art technology making the impossible creations a realism.

of course we all have our favourite episodes with mine being- Stolen Earth/Journey's End,The Empty Child/Doctor Dances, Turn Left, Silence In the Library/Forest of The Dead, Midnight, Partners In Crime and Utopia to mention a few NuWho classics!

as for these specials themselves they are a reflection of the strengths and the weaknesses of what the era has been through, some better than others, but also it shows that Russel is the perfect boss of the series who has hired the best directors (Euros Lynn and Graeme Harper being two of the best) and writers (arguably Steven Moffat can do next to no wrong so is making a perfect successor to Russel this spring)and by having Tennant primarily alone through each of these specials reflects his strengths as a skilled actor (specifically in Waters Of Mars this is shown) which was realised in the fourth series of the show in 2008.

not to mention the visuals and the stunts have been amazing too in each of these five specials which highlights the best of the past few years.

The Next Doctor-while i feel that their introduction to the show was a shocker to say the least (albeit a needed one for series 2) the cybermen finally have their own episode and a close to perfect one at that. while there are a few flaws to be had with it (it didn't touch the quality of the fourth series and i also was missing the chemistry between Catherine Tate and David) but after watching it again it is actually really exciting and a really great christmas special, not to mention the transformer style CyberKing emerging from the Thames at the episodes final showdown, amazing! 4/5

The Planet of the Dead- this episode was written as though this would be Tennants final time to have actual fun in an episode so is therefore mainly an episode that is a full on written sugar rush with a wafer thin plot but a witty script and stunning visuals to redeem it (i wasn't too fond of lady Cassandra for a companion either)and a villain that is probably the most threatening since the air piranha Veshta Nerada from the libary two parter in the 4th series, and to top it all off a flying double decker bus! THE MIGHTY 200!! silly fun but thouroughly enjoyable.3/5

Waters Of Mars- this is the storyline that i felt can really hold itself against any of the other specials here, not too epic but simplistic in plot and terrifically terrifying in plot (one of the shows scariest and most daring in my opinion) with a threat and tension very reminiscent of Alien and a foe that reminded me of the black oil from The X-Files. truly horrific stuff and definitely a favourite of mine.also Tennant really pushed fans emotional buttons as he got much darker in nature and i just loved the edge he had with it. also Adelaide was a strong minded companion heroine that had a background and a purpose that while no Capt.Jack,Sarah Jane or Donna Noble was a perfect companion in her own right. 5/5

The End Of Time Part One & Two- this episode has officially divided fans through the middle, some love the episode and some dislike it and find it way to dragged out. i felt that Part One and two are both striking and different from each other in the fact that Timothy Dalton's narration made pt 1 feel epic in story and more like a film although the plot was slightly misguided that didn't matter. The Master returned with more edge from Simm. Donna cam beck for ten scenes which was far better than having her as a background character and was a rather pleasant surprise to provide some finality to her character. and the dear Wilf as the companion gave me a little lift in every sequence he was in. Simm and Tennant acted off of each other to a mesmerising effect and the visuals were nothing short of exciting to watch. while the best finale Doctor Who has had is Journey's End (hands down was a brilliantly written episode and i watch again and again for the epic and dramatic scenes)the End Of Time is a definate runner up indeed whith a tearful farewell to previous characters and a final regeneration it was a solid conclusion despite some misgivings. 5/5

i want to thank Russel for being a great writer for resurrecting the show and Tennant for being the best doctor ever, and for all the companions for being the greatest i have seen.

it's been a goodun'! now time for series 5 in Spring, let's see what Matt Smith, Steven Moffatt and crew have in store!

Un coffret tout simplement parfait ! J'ai longuement hésité entre la version français, sans grand intéret du fait qu'elle ne contienne que les épisodes et celle-ci, qui recèle nombre de bonus. Je ne regrette pas du tout mon choix ! Les bonus sont magnifiques ( les "confidentials" de chaques épisodes, les scènes coupées, le comic-con 2009, le "Proms" 2009, le journal vidéo de David Tennant sur ses derniers jours de tournage en tant que Docteur, commentaires audios de David Tennant, Catherine Tate et Euros Lyn et "Doctor Who BBC christmas idents"). Rien que pour cela je le conseillerai à tous. Il y a bien sûr à côté de ça le fait que tout y est en anglais... Mais même avec un niveau moyen (niveau débutant/intermédiaire pour moi) et en mettant les sous-titres, il est assez facile de comprendre.

Niveau matériel, le coffret est de très bonne facture (carton rigide et épais : solide !), les dvd effet miroir et il est même inclus un petit guide qui indique ce qui se trouve sur chaque dvd.

En résumé : une merveille ! N'hésitez surtout pas !

Buena edición en formato BD. Subtítulos en inglés para todo el contenido, eso sí, nada en castellano, como es habitual.

Se incluyen los cinco especiales que ponen fin a la etapa del Décimo Doctor (a excepción del primero, el Especial de Navidad de 2008, los otros cuatro ya fueron rodados en HD y por tanto este BD es el medio ideal para disfrutarlos).
