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

Two and a half stars. The disgust factor outweighed the entertainment value, for me, a fan since the 1980's. Why? The manic pacing in a 40 minute story arc has been my main quibble since the Eccleston debut. Oh it's indeed entertaining, for the most part. But my "love/hate" relationship with all the newer "series" tipped to hate and disgust with the last two episodes here; when, it finally dawned on me--that the current producer is no longer paying homage to what came before his tenure (IF he ever ...

I, like so many other folks of my generation, grew up entertained, thrilled, and scared out of my mind by Doctor Who. When the new series began airing in 2005 I was more than a little concerned (in the way one is concerned when remembering that a movie version is never as good as the book it was based off of or how a remake is never as good as the original). But much like Rose, Christopher Eccleston's Doctor had me at "Run". And the fantastic David Tennant does it even better.

The best episodes of this season are PHENOMENAL. That said, it seemed like the writers didn't know what to do with the gorgeous Freema other than let her whine. Every episode. About how mad she is about the Doctor. And how he doesn't even look at her. Sigh. In fairness to her character, I don't like the way the Doctor was written in this respect either. I know he's hurting because Rose is gone, but hello.......how old are you? Appreciate Martha for the gem she is. The better episodes are the ones ... Read More

I felt that Season 2 struggled a bit; although David Tennant took to the role and made it his own, in my opinion not enough time was spent on Rose's adjustment to his regeneration. Instead everything was sweetness and light from the get go. There were certainly high points and the finale was heartbreaking enough to make me cry, but Season 3 starts off with that emotional impact and that makes it all the better.
Season 3 is really all about the Doctor, as it should be, and his pain. He struggles ... Read More

After the lose of Rose Tyler I did not think the Doctor could find another worthy companion, but he did in Martha Jones. Excellent new adventures in this third series collection.
