Christopher Eccleston's tenure as the time-traveling title hero in the venerable UK sci-fi series Doctor Who lasted just 13 episodes, but he left enough of a impression on fans to make some wonder how his replacement, veteran television performer David Tennant, might fare in the role. As this second-series boxed set proves, the answer is: he's a near-perfect Doctor who combines the eccentricities of earlier incarnations (most notably Tom Baker) with a fresh and youthful interpretation of his own, and even brings a healthy dash of romantic chemistry with his sidekick, Rose Tyler (the equally charming Billie Piper). And their adventures retain the solid blend of thoughtful speculative fiction, pulp action, and quirky humor that typified the series at its best. Among the 15 terrific stories contained in the six-disc set are the "Children in Need" (a.k.a. "Pudsey Cutaway") mini-episode from the 2005 Children in Need telethon that showed Eccleston's transformation into Tennant; "School Reunion," in which Elisabeth Sladen returns as Sarah Jane Smith; "The Girl in the Fireplace," which draws together robots in 18th century France with a derelict space station in the distant future; and the season finale, "Army of Ghosts/Doomsday," which not only revives the series' most popular villains, the robotic Daleks, in a head-to-head struggle against the Cybermen, but also marks the final appearance of another series regular. For fans and first-time visitors to the TARDIS alike, the Second Series is simply thrilling sci-fi TV. As with the First Series set, the supplemental features are plentiful here; commentary by the show's cast and crew is provided on each episode, and four feature picture-in-picture commentary tracks; deleted scenes and outtakes are also included, as are video diaries by Tennant and Piper, and a lengthy featurette, "Doctor Who Confidential," which covers nearly every aspect of the series' production, including the introduction of the Torchwood Institute and the return of Sarah Jane, both of which would be featured in their own respective spin-off series (the first in Doctor Who's long history) in 2007. - Paul Gaita

 Doctor Who, Complete Second Series September 8, 2008

Fantastic! The adjustment time from the first series Doctor was a bit long for me but the stories are simply great in this second series. The last episode was truly awesome! When I told my kids about Doctor Who, they gave me the "raspberrys". But, when we all were watching the next to the last TV episode which ended with "to be continued", they all let out a gasp of dispair!!!!! So much for their "raspberrys"!! Dad was right about this being a great series!
Doctor Who - The Best Who In Years... The Doctor Is In. August 16, 2008
Eric Shaw (Haymarket, VA USA)
Well 1st I'll start out by saying what a huge Doctor Who fan I am. I mean they sure have come along way since the show began, but I guess what I really want to say is the characters of the show are so unique they just make the show that much more enjoyable. And you gotta love all the spinoffs from the show like Torchwood and some of the others. So all in all I'de say it's something any Doctor Who fan shouldn't be without.
Outstanding August 12, 2008

David Tennant is brilliant as the Doctor! I loved this series, and my only complaint is that it's only 13 episodes long!

The Second Seasons is great, the music, the stories, and well The Girl in the Fireplace is a masterpiece !!! I hope the 10th Doctor never regenerates !!!
Wow July 24, 2008
J. Kelly (Chicago burbs)
I was blown away by "Season 2" - there was not one episode that I felt was weak or strayed from character. I enjoyed the interaction between the Doctor and Rose, especially the growth as they became more familar with each other. Definately a worthwhile purchase on my part.
