Product Description

Product Description

Special features:
This fantastic shimmering, 3D-effect box set of the Doctor Who complete third series features a dual message from the Master (John Simm) on the sleeve and an exlusive image in the brochure inside. The Lenticular Master/Mister Sleeve Limited Edition is exclusive to Amazon.co.uk.

From Amazon.co.uk

There were a few moments in the third season of the revived Doctor Who when you begin to wonder if the bubble has burst. A couple of tepid Dalek episodes, and a handful of forgettable stories, make you begin--perhaps for the first time since the show’s revival--whether it’s already hits its peak.

But never underestimate the new Doctor Who. For the back run of series three is as good as anything that’s gone before it, with ingenious plotting, the clever layering of elements it casually--nah, crucially--refers to later on, and some quite superb individual episodes. It not only restores any hint of lost faith, it sets the bar even higher.

Examples? The stunning single story Blink is extremely clever, genuinely scary and has immense rewatch value. While the equally strong double-header of Human Nature and The Family Of Blood is a two-parter in the traditional Doctor Who way, building up its story in a measured and really effectively creepy way.

Then there’s the finale. Presenting the Doctor with one of his finest, most ingenious villains makes for quite brilliant television (albeit with a slightly underwhelming concluding episode), as exciting to long-time fans of Doctor Who as it is for the newcomers.

And that, ultimately, is the brilliance of Doctor Who. It staggers so many levels of viewer enthusiasm, appeals to an extremely broad age demographic, and woos over fans new and old in a manner that no show currently on television can manage. And while the cliché of hiding behind the sofa may not be as accurate as it once was, Doctor Who season three will undoubtedly leave you gripped to the TV. --Simon Brew

5.0 out of 5 starsSeries 3 - A Flawed Masterpiece
By Sheffield Blue on 31 Oct. 2007
Having just read all the comments below, I thought I would add a few lines to try and resolve the apparent conflict between those who loved it and those who hated it.

The point about series 3 is that it is brave. It tries stuff. Sometimes it comes off (as in the truly astonishing Blink), sometimes it doesn't (human daleks in manhattan - puh-lease).

The trouble with trying stuff is you put yourself out there to be shot down. Also, traditionalists hate it: one reviewer here has decided not to buy it in spite of having every other episode already. And I can (kind of) understand why - when series 3 is bad, it's pretty awful....

So - why the 5 stars? Well, it's because the highs it hits are better than anything Dr Who has done before. I'm a lifelong fan, but I'd put the Human Nature and The Family Of Blood two-parter, plus the truly frightening Blink, into the "as good as anything ever" category.

But that's not all. Tthe 3-parter around the Master is simply the best Dr Who ever told. Bar none. Again, John Simm has attracted praise and brickbats. But that's because his performance is extraordinary. He actually completely steals the show - which some traditionalists are not going to like as it threatens the pre-eminence of Doctor - but hey it's called acting guys. And boy, can this guy act. Simply the scariest enemy the doctor has ever faced. (And to think - he has to follow the great Jacobi on to the stage...).

Oh, and to the reviewer who talks about the soundtrack - I've tried it and he's right. The attack of the Toclafane is astonishing. As I write, it is weeks since I last saw it, yes it still makes me skin tingle to hear the strains of Voodoo Child banging out as the human race gets slaughered. Devastating.

My advice is - just buy it. When it's bad, just keep watching. Trust me, it gets better and better and better.

And then John Simm shows up... and it's glorious.

4.0 out of 5 starsMessiah complex notwithstanding - a compulsory buy
By Scaroth, Last of the Jagaroth on 25 Jan. 2011
Verified Purchase
Despite being unsure of Freema Agyeman's portrayal of new TARDIS companion Martha Jones, I found this series of Doctor Who to be bold and brash and enjoyed watching this DVD set more than I did the original broadcast.
The return of The Doctor's ultimate enemy - the Machiavellian Master, is enough to whet the appetite of any fan, and John Simm's playing of the character is refreshingly assured if a little too normal looking (although I maintain that Derek Jacobi should have been given the part permanently). With a familiar Earth-based theme from RTD and co., the Jones family replace the Tylers as the characters through whom we witness the various invasions and terrors wrought upon our fragile planet, although unlike Rose's Mum and boyfriend this family is under surveillance...
The best episode is easily the seminal 'Blink', which somehow manages to tap into all that is good about Doctor Who whilst remaining refreshingly original. Stephen Moffat does emotive without being saccharine; sentimental without being cloying, and it is his episode that resonates longest after the credits have rolled.
The Shakespeare Code is also superb, with its Elizabethan authenticity practically wafting through the TV screen and the hideous Carrionites making their splendid bow in the Whoniverse. Two-hander 'Human Nature' and 'The Family of Blood' is pant-wettingly marvellous, and is arguably David Tennant's finest hour as The Doctor; Harry Lloyd, so wooden as Will Scarlet in Robin Hood, also puts in a show-stealing performance as the alien 'son of mine'.
The series also sees the welcome return of Captain Jack, taking a break from Torchwood, and with an intriguing reveal at the end as to his past, the show seems to be going from strength to strength.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother season of improvement
By Mick E on 3 Aug. 2007
Verified Purchase
New series, new companion, new (and old) beasties and new adventures, the 3rd series of the revitalised juggernaut that is Doctor Who rumbles into view. And, generally speaking, it's another success, and maybe the best of the all the new series'. Series 3 was mainly concerned with the following themes: a new companion, Martha Jones, and her feelings towards the Doctor, a cryptic message from The Face of Boe, and the enigmatic Harold Saxon. Martha's character, and her introduction in `Smith & Jones' (maybe the best of all the new series' openers), is generally handled well and Freema Agyeman does reasonably well in her first major role, and I was pleased to see that she will be back for series 4, along with Catherine Tate (oh dear..).

Ultimately, any series of Doctor Who will be judged on its episodes and series 3 is generally rollicking entertainment. As usual the filler episodes vary in quality, whereas the arcs almost define the long-lasting memories of the season. The Daleks returned again in `Daleks in Manhattan / Evolution of the Daleks', and once again the writers showed an inclination to try something different with the Doctor's most enduring foes, without detracting from the Daleks' original concept, this time creating a Dalek in human form in 1930's Manhattan. The mid-series arc `Human Nature / The Family of Blood' dealt with the Doctor's decision to become a human being in order to escape a malevolent alien family who are out destroy him in order to further their own life span. I remember this story best for David Tennant's excellent, and touching, performance as John Smith, the Doctor's human alter-ego. Strange how his best performance in his tenure was when he wasn't actually playing the Doctor!Read more ›
