If it hadn’t been for my webserver’s fit of the sulks, I’d have posted this last night. But here we go with the first episode of the fourth series of the revived Doctor Who, or the 30th overall, if you prefer to look at it that way. For reasons best known to the BBC, it […]

Most of the time, I’m months behind with my Doctor Who DVD reports, but I think an advanced notice of this one is in order. Coming up in June, this set contains:
The Tom Baker story The Invisible Enemy, which I recall as being lots of fun and containing some very unlikely stuff, in the finest […]

With just a few days to go before we all get to see it, some lucky media types have had a preview of Doctor Who Series Four Thirty. Neither David Tenant nor Russell T Davies are commenting on whether they’ll be staying on past next year’s four specials, and to be honest, I don’t think […]

DVD-buying Doctor Who fans may well be thinking they’ve entered a time warp of some kind. Yes, this has been on DVD before, but in a very different form. Back in 1999, the BBC was just beginning to test the market, and see if they could successfully sell DVDs. One of the first releases was […]

I don’t normally recommend the single disk DVDs of Doctor Who, given that they’re a bit lacking in extras and 5.1 sound mixes, but I made an exception and bought this one.
The contents are the 2007 Christmas Special, which I reviewed favourably at the time, and which I enjoyed seeing again, that gorgeous mini-episode done […]

Yes, I’m really late with this one, but at least I’m getting it in before the next series starts. I’ve already muttered at some length about the individual episodes, so this is more about the extras and the presentation than the main content.
There are six discs packed in two folders which fit into a tidy […]

Just a quick public service announcement:
Doctor Who is back next Saturday!
That’s Saturday, 4 April 2008. BBC1, and quite possibly HD for people who have such things. Please check listings for exact times.
This will be described as series four, but I might just join Doctor Who Magazine in calling it by its proper number:
Series 30 starts […]

Yes, I’m nearly up to date with my Doctor Who reviews. Now this one was a pleasure to receive. While it’s great to be able to get hold of old favourite episodes, there’s an extra thrill about getting a classic Doctor Who story that I’ve never seen before. This was first shown in July 1965, […]

I mentioned in my review of The Sea Devils that the DVD included a complete book in PDF format. Well, I just had a look and I’m really happy about it! It’s called The Making of Doctor Who, and I actually had it when I was a kid! Now I haven’t seen the book in, […]

It’s become something of a tradition for the first Doctor Who DVD release each year to be a themed box set. We’ve had the set with the first stories, the set with the transition from Tom Baker to Peter Davision, and now a slightly different set. Rather than consecutive stories, this one contains all three […]
