DVD Review - Doctor Who Season

Posted by Tom Watson Tuesday, May 12, 2009

If you would like to watch a modern science fiction show with your family, then you should watch the 21st century Doctor Who series DVD. Since the fans saw this popular British TV series be taken off the air 15 years ago, this new updated version has had a lot of high expectations to live up to. After its release in 2005, fans and new audiences alike received it well and the current series now enjoys a large, growing following.

Christopher Eccleston brings a new, younger face, as the new Doctor, and this works well with the British pop star, Billie Piper, as Rose, Doctor Who's new traveling companion. This new doctor has a completely updated look and style, but has brought back the unique, silly sense of humor from one of the most popular doctors, Tom Baker. It has been said that Tom Baker's wit and charm have been accredited for bridging the cultural gap between British and American viewers back in the 20th century. Along with his appealing manner, Eccleston also provides this Doctor Who series with plenty of supense.

Along with the first rate CGI animation, this 21st century Doctor Who introduces a companion that has a boyfriend and a family life. This lets the audience have a chance to become involved with the sidekick character as well as seeing how Doctor Who reacts to human relationships as well as confronting and fighting off alien master minds from throughout the universe and time.
In the first show, the Doctor is pursuing an alien invader that is made of plastic, and accidentally meets his future companion Rose, in a department store in downtown London. The plastic mastermind alien plots to give store mannequins life and everything else that is plastic, in order to take over the planet. Rose gets locked in the store mistakenly, where she encounters several mannequins walking around, trying to kill her. How can a mannequin, even a walking one, hurt a human being? This is a surprise waiting inside for anyone who watches this DVD series.

Of course, the Doctor and Rose save the Earth and stop the plans of the living plastic assault in the first episode. In the next episode on the DVD, they travel on to the distant future to watch the end of the Earth and see the last pure human being. Later, Rose and the Doctor journey back into history to meet Charles Dickens in Victorian England and do some good old-fashioned ghost hunting.

Eccleston shows a side of the Doctor where more of his extreme side of his character is shown, that was not a part of the earlier series in the 20th century. Still, the time lord continues to be a magnanimous hero, finding new friendships and alliances with many kinds of creatures.

While Doctor Who is a sci-fi that does show many scientific possibilities, it also lets its audience see human nature at its best and worst without profanity and blood filled violence. In this way, Doctor Who is different from much of the science fiction movies of today. Families can view this series without concern for profanity or brutal violence, and everyone can enjoy a positive, fun experience together.
