24 hours television box sets

"Tennant makes his mark ""When Doctor Who returned to our screens in 2005, even for the disinterested, it was probably THE British TV event of the year. For the die hard fans, it was a dream come true. Finally the BBC was giving it the profile, the budget, the schedule and the kudos that they felt it had always deserved. Russell T. Davis had reinvented a classic TV icon and made it even more exciting than ever and Christopher Eccleston brought a new edge to the world's longest Boston Legal boxset running sci-fi TV hero.But before the first season had even run its course, Eccleston was gone. Never explaining why, after the huge relaunch, the BBC were already House MD the complete series having to recast the role, running the risk of losing everything they'd built up in such a short space of time. Thankfully, (unlike so many times in the 1980's) the production team made a truly inspired decision to cast David Tennant in the role of the Doctor and keep the new found dynamism 30 Rock television box sets on track.Here is the complete first season of Tennant's stint as the Time Lord from Gallifrey, which I personally hope will be the first of many. He really has taken the role to heart and developed a truly engaging and charismatic Doctor - one that's on a par with the great Tom Baker for sure and outdoing many others who've taken the role in the past. All 14 episodes are included, starting with the hour-long 2005 Christmas special, followed by the 13 45-minute episodes from the spring of 2006. There are many fans of course who aren't particularly enamored of the new approach to their favorite time traveler. It is fair to say that the whole concept has become rather `soapy'. It's certainly no stretch to see that Eastenders seems to have a big influence over the style of the new direction. Whereas it brings an edge of reality to the series to flesh out the lives and emotions of the Doctor and his companions, it has to be said that in this particular season, that emotion is being somewhat overplayed. Sarah-Jane Smith is back at the Doctor's side in `School Reunion' after having been dumped from the TARDIS back in 1976. It's great to see Elisabeth Sladen back on form, but from a continuity point, it's not really true to the original series. Sarah-Jane did already Bones tv series boxsets meet up with the Doctor again, back in the 1983 20th anniversary special, The Five Doctors, and the hurt and despair explored now ignores that Ally McBeal the series particular narrative completely. Every episode seems to have 24 hours complete series some emotional turmoil between the Doctor's current companion, Rose, and the Time Lord himself, which seems to always be edging them towards at least a romantic relationship, if not a full-blown ######ual one. After a while, it seems this sub-text is always getting in the way of the main narrative of each story. Even the long awaited and definitely overdue clash between the Doctor's two most famous dvd box Boston Legal enemies, The Daleks and The Cybermen, is eventually pushed into the background to Ally McBeal complete series develop more of the Doctor/Rose relationship. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just overplayed. I for one would like to see less of Rose's emotions and those of her family and hopefully in the 2007 season, new characters will be handled differently.There are fewer extras than were included on the Eccleston season release, possibly to accommodate the extra episode. The short interim piece shown on the BBC's Children in Need charity telethon is included and there's a commentary for each story, often with on-screen visuals. A sixth disc includes the accompanying Doctor Who Confidential, behind the scenes documentaries, but there's little else. It's still a great package nonetheless.I hope the rumors of David Tennant's departure during the 2008 season are false. He's such a great Doctor; it would be a shame to lose him. But so far, most of the rumors about the series that have done the rounds have all pretty much turned out to be true. Still, 30 Rock seasons 1-4 they moved effortlessly from Eccleston to Tennant, so presumably they can do the same again. In the meantime,"" here's some wonderful Doctor Who to enjoy again. """""

"Human Beings... fan-TASTIC!!! ""How do you improve on the near perfection of the reborn "Doctor Who" starring Christopher Eccleston? Quite easily, when Brothers and Sisters series dvd you have stories like "School Reunion," "The Girl in the Fireplace," "The Impossible Planet," and "The Satan Pit," to name Bones complete series just a few, but... I'm getting ahead of myself here! For those of us of a "certain age," as we 30 Rock dvd set say in England - that's the wrong side of 40! LOL! - and remember the origins of the series waaaaaaaaay Breaking Bad dvd seasons back in the 60's, then spent the subsequent decades suffering through more cardboard sets and rubber monsters than you could shake a stick at - the Daleks being honorable exceptions of course! - the rebirth of the venerable Doctor in 2005 was a revelation. The stories had been tightened-up considerably - no running up and down endless corridor filler here! - the budget for a single episode appeared to be more than was spent on an entire series from the good-old-days, the production values/sfx were stellar, the writing tight and dramatic, bringing the Doctor and his Companion thoroughly up-to-date without losing the essence of the original. In Chris Eccleston they had, at last, a genuine, heavyweight Thesp playing the Doctor, Army Wives the complete series an actor who could not only handle the edgier, more grown-up aspects of the new stories, but could also inject an element of the manic/slightly unhinged into his performance, similar to the much-loved Tom Baker. And any worries that Billie Piper would not be up to the job, dramatically, were soon laid to rest... and how!!! To say that us fans were spoiled by the 2005 series was 30 Rock dvds seasons 1-4 putting it mildly, then as the season climaxed with the superlative "Bad Wolf" and "Parting of the Ways," we were all thrown for a loop when given a "regeneration scene" and a NEW Doctor! What were the BBC thinking about, were they crazy?!?!?! The short answer is "No," the casting of David Tennant was every bit as inspired as his predecessor; he actually managed to up the manic-quotient without going completely bonkers, and brought a kind of geeky coolness to the character we hadn't seen before! And then there was "Rose;" oh Ally McBeal seasons my goodness, in all it's years, there has NEVER been a companion for the Doctor like Rose Tyler. Unlike practically all previous companions, Rose is a character in her own right, with her own back story, fully realized, she is, dramatically at least, the Doctor's equal. Her development, from London shop-girl, to time traveler, explorer of the universe, and killer of Daleks, helps drive the stories in a new, more emotionally fulfilling direction. After the roller coaster ride of Season 1 with it's "Bad Wolf" story arc, Season 2 scaled things back ever so slightly, but invested even more time and effort in exploring the relationship between the 30 Rock tv shows box sets unearthly Doctor, and the all-too-human Rose. This is tackled head-on in the 4th episode, "School Reunion," which goes some way to answering the question of what happens to the companions after they have stopped travelling with the Time Lord; a stand-out episode, it re-introduces Elizabeth Sladen's "Sarah Jane Smith." I don't want seasons of 24 hours to say too much about any particular episode for those who haven't seen the series yet, but the scene where Sarah Jane discovers the TARDIS and its owner made the hair on the Ally McBeal tv shows box sets back of my neck stand up! Later in the episode there's an affecting scene between the Doctor and Rose as House MD seasons 6 he tries to explain to her why he can't allow himself to become emotionally involved with his Human companions... he's practically immortal, we're not. The next episode, "The girl in the fireplace," perfectly illustrates the preceding point, when the Doctor allows himself to become attached to Madame de Pompadour, whilst simultaneously battling clockwork androids on a derelict starship in the far future! "Rise of the Cybermen" and "Age of Steel" successfully reinvents one of the Doctors most popular adversaries, whilst "The impossible planet" and "The Satan pit" set-up some very Alien-esque chills in a wonderful two-parter. The series ends, just as did Season 1, with another amazing two-part story, "Army of Ghosts" and the aptly titled "Doomsday," which sees the House MD complete Daleks fighting it out with the new-and-improved Cybermen for control of planet Earth; to steal a line from the totally execrable AvP, "Whoever wins, we lose!" LOL! It's difficult to know which fate would be worse, having the whole planet "upgraded" by the Cybermen, or flayed and filleted through the Daleks genetic labs to help create an even bigger and more murderous Dalek army!!! This is a superb dvd in House MD story to end the season, but be warned, the finale is... emotional! There's a nice recurring theme in the series concerning the "Torchwood Institute," which becomes central to the final two episodes, and if this set is the first you've seen of Season 2, DO make sure you watch the "Children in Need" episode in the "Special Features" section of the set FIRST. It acts as a coda to Season 1, as Brothers and Sisters seasons dvds well as a prologue to Season 2, and explains the somewhat crazed materialization of the Breaking Bad box set complete series TARDIS, as well as the Doctor himself, in the rollicking first episode, "The Christmas Invasion." Any worries I had that the quality of the first season could not be maintained were unfounded... if you enjoyed Season 1, grab Season 2 immediately,"" you won't regret it! """""
"Sweetest Rose hides sharpest Thorn. ""As everyone has already said in their reviews, David Tennant does indeed step in Big Love series 1-3 box set Christopher Ecclestones considerably talented shoes with ease. He graces his Doctor with the same amount of energy and charisma as the previous Doctor, but also manages to imbue him with a more natural and engaging warmth.The second series may lack some of the excitement and 'new-ness' of the first, but thanks largely to it's great cast it manages to steer 24 hours dvd set ahead strongly, driven by broader plots and leading to a darker end.But, for me, it's Rose who is the real star of both. Billie Piper, ex-teen singing pop sensation, just bristles Rose to real life. I can see this every girl on any street in London or Cardiff, full of ideas, energy, wit, fear, strength, joy..... just watching her play off the Doctors' eccentricities is a reminder to how we would all like to behave if ever confronted with a Bones the series Time Lord! The last two episodes are up with the best, and unlike a previous reviewer, I disagree with the final episode being a let down. My judgement? 30 Rock 4 No thirty four year old man should Army Wives 4 dvd ever cry in front of his misses and kids because of a TV show,"" but the fact that I did is all the proof I need! """""
