Product Description:
Can Rose trust a man with a new face? David Tennant (Viva Blackpool, Harry Potter) steps into the role of the Doctor, now in his 10th incarnation. Following on from the phenomenal success of the first series, the second series is full of more thrills, more laughs, more heartbreak and some terrifying new aliens and old acquaintances. The Doctor and Rose meet Queen Victoria, an evil race of Cat Women, K9 and Sarah Jane, and the dreaded Cybermen.

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

- The Best 10th Doctor ( Tennat) series of all, a Must !!!!
This Box set features the debut of David Tennat as The Tenth Doctor and all episodes are great!!! al 13 episdoes are good solid fun!!! the best Debut of any Doctor in the series.
The Team up with Rose is as great as Tom Baker - Sara Jane was in the 70's, and she is back!
even the Confidential is great here, if you like David as the Doctor, this is a must have...
Rating: - Amazing love story
I like season two because of the love story between Rose and the Doctor, ending with Ghost plane and Doomsday.
Season two is symetric.It start with the creation of torchwood and ends with torchwood opening the portal too the parallel earth allowing the cyberman and void sphere to breach the current earth.
The love tradegy was amazing.I was very surprised to see the quality of the story.
Rating: - Welcome 10th Doctor - Bartie Crouch Jr
I love David Tennant.The second season is as good as the first - and Tennant is a marvel."Tooth and Claw" is a great episode featuring Pauline Collins as Queen Victoria being chased by a Ware Wolf (one of the all time great episodes).Gatiss returns to write the wonderful "The Idiot's Lantern" (set in the 50's); "Love & Monsters" is hysterical; "School Reunion" brings back Sarah Jane and has Anthony Head (Giles from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" as a baddie); "The Girl in the Fireplace" is wonerfully ...

Rating: - Worth the money.
When word came down that Christopher Eccleston was being replaced as Doctor Who to say the least I was hard to convince.They say that the Doctor that you started with forever becomes "your" doctor and I will second that motion.That being said David Tennant does grow on you take it from someone who found out first hand.You have to judge each individual season on its own merits.So as to the episodes themselves
New Earth is a good way to open up this shows the Doctor in a most traditional role ... Read More
Rating: - Enter Number Ten
I was worried about how much I'd like the new Doctor, who was essentially replacing 'My Doctor', but it couldn't have been a more natural transition.David Tennant is just as wonderful as the Tenth Doctor.He brings his own quirkiness to the character of the Doctor, while still keeping some of the dark, emotional side brought in by Eccleston.Billie Piper is back, as well, as his companion.The chemistry between Tennant and Piper is equal to Eccelston, and possibly even better than the first season. ...
