Doctor Who fans concerned that the departure of popular companion Rose (Billie Piper) at the end of the second season might spell an end to the venerable UK science fiction series' revival were soon reassured by the program's third series, which is compiled in its entirety in this six-disc set. Not only did Freema Agyeman (as Earth doctor Martha Jones) prove to be more than a worthwhile replacement for Rose, but the quality of the series' 14 episodes maintained--and in many cases surpassed--the blend of wit, excitement and drama brought by head writer Russell T. Jones when he revived the program in 2003. Highlights from the third series include the Christmas special "The Runaway Bride" (starring comedian Catherine Tate as a temporary companion to the Doctor as he mourns the loss of Rose), "Gridlock" (the Face of Boe summons the Doctor and Martha to a future New York City to stop an invasion by his old enemy the Macra), "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood" (a two-part serial in which the Doctor changes his biological form to escape the clutches of an alien brood who seek his immortality), and the three-part "Utopia," "The Sound of Drums" and "The Last of the Time Lords," which not only revives the Doctor's greatest adversary, The Master (played by Derek Jacobi in "Utopia" and John Simm in "Drums" and "Time Lords") but also revives Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and introduces his new position with the Torchwood team. Supplemental features are included on each of the six discs in the set; chief among them are commentary by Jones, Tennant, Agyeman, producer Phil Collinson, and members of the writing and production team (in various permutations) on each of the 14 episodes. The Doctor Who Confidential series, which aired on BBC Three and offered behind-the-scenes looks at elements from each episode, is included in its 15-minute "cut down" version (as well as an hour-long episode that covered a live performance of music from the show by the National Orchestra of Wales and hosted by Tennant), as are several video diaries shot by Tennant, who proves as engaging behind the camera as he is on the show. A smattering of deleted scenes, outtakes (mostly featuring Tennant reacting good-naturedly to his own blown lines), BBC promos for all 13 episodes (including the amusing "Vote Saxon" spot, which offers Sharon Osbourne and UK pop stars McFly throwing their support behind the Master's disguise as a human MP in the series' final two episodes), and trailers for other BBC series like Jekyll, Torchwood, and MI-5, round out this terrific set. -- Paul Gaita |

Allons-y! |

Tennant really hits his stride as the Doctor this season, and Martha Jones (Agyeman) is a great companion. There are some great episodes this season, including visiting Shakespeare and "a Platoon of Jidoon on the Moon". I highly recommend it if you a fan of great sci-fi that's also clean and funny. |

Doctor Whos is the best show ever |

Well at first I was a skeptic that Freema Agyeman wasn't going to be good, or wouldn't even fit into the show, but I was wrong, she did an awesome job, not good as Rose though but still this season was awesome, you learn alot about Captain Jack and The Doctor |

Little different but still great product |

I did not read the fine print I guess. Came within the time frame. Actual DVD's are great quality crystal clear. Just disappointed in packaging. DVD cases are not good one is cracked and doesn't close the others barely hold together also there are no graphics on any of the packaging. I am hopeing these are not pirated. Wouldn't want to break the law. Actual DVD's are great. Would proably buy from this vendor again. But will get new cases on my own. |

Great, but . . . |

I love Doctor Who, and David Tennant is great as the Docter, but I have to disagree with the radioactivly glowing reveiws about this season. I bought the first two seasons, but I'm not that interested in buying this third season. That's why I gave this third season 4 stars instead of 5. The reason? While the third season shows are generally better than ever when it comes to suspense, the stories themselves aren't really worth watching over and over again. So, suspense up, long-term storyline interest down. |

The whole series and the scripts are wonderfully written. It is an enjoyment to watch. The actor, David Tennant playing Doctor Who, is by far the best choice in actors the BBC has made in having someone play the important part of Doctor Who. Mr. Tennant's witty humour, and caring personality that he has put into the character are very much prominent through out the whole series. |
