Docter Who: Legacy of the Daleks
583697
This is the best of all the Doctor Who novels that John Peel has written. It has the feel of the tv series. Something that many novelists of the Docter can't create. Peel explores what happened to Earth in the aftermath of the Dalek Invasion of Earth, and shows that humanity can act pretty stupidly at times. He also lets us see what became of the Doctor's granddaughter Susan after thirty years living on Earth. As someone who interviewed Terry Nation, the creator of Daleks, I think he would have approved of this story.

Just finished listening to "Doctor Who #198 - The Defectors" released by Big Finish Productions.
Spoiler Alert - Move on and don't read if you haven't listened to this audio adventure or previous ones.
"The Defectors" marks the start of a rather interesting mystery that is stretched across three audio adventures where different incarnations of the Doctor are taken out out their time line and thrust into their past where their actions and decisions could unravel their personal time.  But who is behind this and why is a mystery that the Seventh Doctor doesn't have time to explore when he is reunited with Jo Grant and Captain Mike Yates.
Jo doesn't quite trust the Seventh Doctor and rather reluctantly agrees to help him when everyone around them seems convinced that he is the Third Incarnation of the Doctor - so the Doctor's companions have some immunity to whatever is affecting the timeline.
The Seventh Doctor is forced to make a choice that will determine his future; and interestingly enough it might be a choice that will be taken away from him.
Strongly Recommended!

Again, after just one season, a new doctor. I loved
Christopher Eccleston so I was a bit sceptic but David Tennant is an awesome doctor. Just as the first season, great stories, great acting and also the special effect are very good.

When Doctor Who came back in 2005, I liked it, since then I love it, it is
very addictive.

Also english subs is handy.

The 50th Anniversary Special is one of my favourite pieces of Doctor Who history! It's definitely a must see for any fans and any casual viewers of Doctor Who or just television in general. I still get all giddy and excited when I put this on the tv. Two of my favourite Doctors together on the same screen. :3 Go watch it! You won't regret it! :)

I love it. Beautiful pictures. We watch Dr. Who but didn't know all of the details this gives you the who's who. With little secrets about different characters and creatures. Great gift. Great book for those who want to know a little bit more about the story line. Arrived on time packaged well and mint condition. Would not expect less from Amazon! Love you guys!

Just finished listening to "Doctor Who #218 - Order Of The Daleks" released by Big Finish Productions.
It's always fun and a bit intriguing to see how a new companion of the Doctor's will react to the Daleks. So it's some what amusing when L/Wren :Mrs. Constance Clarke  calls the first Dalek she meets "beautiful" because the monks of the planet Strellin have restored parts of its outer casing that she wants to get a closer looksee...
Mrs. Clarke and the Sixth Doctor arrived on Strellin in response to a distress signal the TARDIS picked up.  They aren't the only ones who .have arrived in response to the distress signals - which all learn all too quickly that the Daleks are on Strellin and they have stumbled upon a means to conquer the known universe through a group mind geslat that the Monks on Strellian achieve through a rare flowering plant extract.
There is an element of the interplay between the Sixth Doctor and Mrs. Clarke that remind me of Steed and Mrs. Peel in the original television episodes; but I don't know if that's intentional between Colin Baker, Miranda Raison, the Big Finish Productions.
A rip-roaring traditional Doctor Who adventure>
Highly Recommended!

Like the first box set, this set includes 25-minute documentaries on each Doctor (#5, 6, 7 & 8), an introduction by Steven Moffatt at the beginning of each adventure, and each story has a widescreen feature-length version included with this set as well as the original aired versions.

Includes "Earthshock" with Doctor #5 Peter Davison. A great action-packed story that features the triumphant return of the Cybermen (the first in seven years) with a great emotional and heartbreaking farewell (or should I say death) of a companion. Certainly the best story in Peter Davison's first season. Five stars

Then we have "Vengeance on Varos" with Doctor #6 Colin Baker. Although I never found Colin Baker's run really that memorable, I have to say that "Vengeance on Varos" was certainly one of his better stories. Quite thrilling and entertaining, one of the best aspects of this adventure is the evil slug-like villain Sil played to perfection by Nabil Shaban. Four stars

Next we have "Remembrance of the Daleks" with Doctor #7 Sylvester McCoy. I've always loved Sylvester's Doctor and "Remembrance" was always one of my favorite Who stories. An action-packed adventure with a great story, impressive visuals for Dr. Who at that time, an all-star cast, and a lot of mystery that keeps you guessing until the end. Two rival Dalek factions are waging war with each other in 1963 London in an attempt to gain possession of an ancient Time Lord artifact left on Earth by the Doctor himself during his first incarnation. Now the Doctor must fight to save the universe from his oldest enemies. Five stars

Last we have "Doctor Who: The Movie" with Doctor #8 Paul McGann. Although there have been many who have criticized this story, I've always found it quite enjoyable. An action-packed adventure featuring the newly regenerated Eighth Doctor taking on his old Time Lord rival, the Master, in 1999 San Francisco. Can the Doctor stop his archenemy from bringing about the end of the world before the new millennium? Sure this one has got some plot holes in it, but I can forgive it for that because it's still a very entertaining adventure with some great action scenes, great visuals, a very scary Master, a great cast, and a great Doctor who sadly never got to make another onscreen appearance. Four stars

Highly Recommended!

Absolutely love this episode! It was so amazing to see David again and it was just perfect how they brought the 4th Doctor back. Loved seeing Peter in this too!

I heard that some of the combos pack like this come with trading cards with it, are they still selling those ones? If I buy this will I get the cards?
I've been trying to find some online but no luck :(

If anyone knows where someone is selling them or if you no longer want yours, please let me know.

Doctor who especially Tom Bakers 3rd Doctor has a special place in my heart. The Show still holds up due to The great acting and well written scripts.
Many have trouble getting past what is considered "cheesy" by today's CGI standards but it's really good story telling something that is missing in today's Television and is hit or miss with the current Doctor who.

I bought this for my son for Christmas.  That is kind of a lie though, because I am probably the bigger Doctor Who fan.  We have all of the newer Doctor Who episodes on the dvr, so whenever I can get the full seasons at a decent price, I get them to we can delete some of the episodes to hold the newer ones that come on.

I hear a lot of things about this Doctor.  Whatever your opinion is of him though, this was still a great series.  It brought back Doctor Who to those who watched it before, but also introduced it to a lot of others.  If you are new to Who, I think that this is where you should start, to get an idea of what the new series of Doctor Who is about.  There are story lines that begin with this series that go on for the second one.

The Dalek Invasion of Earth boasts one of the most bonkers plots in the mad history of Doctor Who stories but also whips along at such a breathless, breakneck speed that it is easy to overlook the holes in the story as big as a Bedfordshire mine! Many people who listen to this audiobook adaptation of Terrance Dicks's novelisation of Terry Nation's original script will no doubt be very familiar with the storyline, which revolves around the Daleks invading Earth in the year 2164, but I'll refrain from further description in case there are people listening or reading the story for the first time.

For those of us who are long-term Whovians however, there is still much to be enjoyed from this audio version of a novelisation I probably read more times that I care to remember as a child, and luckily it is also one of Terrance Dicks earliest and therefore best books from the Doctor Who range.

We are truly blessed too to have the story narrated by none other than William Russell, who of course played Ian Chesterton in the original ]\
televised version and along with Barbara Wright made up the first Doctor's first TARDIS crew-it's fantastic he is still with us when so many luminaries of the show have mow sadly passed, still sounding in fine voice and doing a wonderful job of bringing this fast-paced yarn to life. Russell is ably supported through by the stalwart Nick Briggs, who has become Who's go-to man for modern Dalek voices and always impresses with his ability to subtly differentiate different Dalek voices through his vocal work alone; some good sound effects and music also enhance the unfolding melodrama and ever-building sense of tension and danger for our heroes as the events unfold.

Overall, I found this a lovely way to revisit a much loved childhood read and experience what is in many ways a very different sort of Doctor Who story than we see in the modern era. It makes a nice companion piece to the DVD release of the television version, which was probably the most spectacular, emotional,gritty and grim the show had been to that point. The Daleks have returned to Doctor Who numerous times since their first appearance in 1963, both on-screen and the wider, to the point where it is impossible to imagine a show without them, so closely intertwined with its history and culture as they are, but back in 1964 this was still early days for the Doctor and the Daleks, this was their first repeat performance and the magic and impact of that reappearance still lives on, in this audiobook as much as other mediums.

Since this last year was Doctor Who's fifty year  anniversary..We aren't counting the gap of a few years between Sylvester McCoy series ending  and Paul McGann's TV movie or the restart start a few years later ..Lets say a round 50 and go on

This collection is the first four doctors. I started with Doctor 4 played by  Tom Baker. Thank god to PBS, they ran some of the Doctors William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee. So I saw many of these episodes in movie format. FYI-you should try to find the episode The Three Doctors which has Hartnell (his last DR WHO Appearance),, Troughton and Pertwee together. If you really want a treat try the Five Doctor's DVD special edition.

The unique thing about this collection is the choice the viewer has in regards to watching these episodes. You have a choice of  movie format (98 minute movie) or original four episodes. Foe the Doctor fan is is a nice keepsake, Never the less it is just the episodes.

 The one problem I miss is on the original DVD of these episodes there are audio commentary,  interviews and other extras. This package has none of the single DVD goodies. You also have a mini documentary like it ran on BBC America of the Doctor Revisited. A 30 minutes film  explaining the different  doctor and his companions

Is it worth getting? For the low price and having an episode of each of the four doctors,, it is! For me, I like the extras, so this set as good as it is, isn't what I would buy. Nevertheless, it is worth the price

It's fantastic! I was kind of hoping for the 10th Doctor's TARDIS, but I am perfectly happy with the newest version!

The Doctors Are In covers each version of Doctor Who, previous and modern (including The Warrior played by John Hurt). As part of their effort to answer What made him the way he is? What motivates him?, each chapter, one per version, includes the following sections:

A profile of the actor and his approach to the role
A short history of the context of his run
An important companion and foe
Who is the Doctor?, the meat of the character study
Three great and two embarrassing moments during his run
Each authors analysis, most entertaining when they sometimes disagree
Reviews of the five episodes most essential to each incarnation

Tom Bakers era is divided into two chapters, due to his long run and the shows change in direction during that period. The first covers the gothic horror episodes, ending with The Talons of Weng-Chiang; the second, what they term The Tom Baker Comedy Half-Hour, playing off the stars eccentricities. There are also appendices listing episodes, companions, and descriptions of multi-Doctor stories, as well as Recommended Resources for further reading. The authors previously wrote&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Who-s-50-The-50-Doctor-Who-Stories-to-Watch-Before-You-Die-An-Unofficial-Companion/dp/1770411666/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Who's 50: The 50 Doctor Who Stories to Watch Before You Die - An Unofficial Companion</a>.

The Doctors Are In gave me new insight on a show Ive been watching a long time. I devoured the chapters. I found it particularly educational when it came to the older doctors, since relatively few of their stories are available to watch.

Its helpful to read the book with this Doctor Who episode list open, since the authors do assume a certain number of shared references. Theres a list in the first appendix, but it only has title, year, and episode length, not description. Since I don't know the episode titles and stars as well as they do, putting the shows in context for the series was helpful for me to follow along. I fear my wallet will never recover, since I now have many more Doctor Who DVD sets on my wish list. (Review originally posted at ComicsWorthReading.com.

I hadn't seen this one in years!  But after watching it, Icould see it was still one of the best Doctor Who stories of all time. Probably in the TOP 5 Dalek stories as well.  The doctor and his partyarrive on a seemingly "dead" planet, which after a little investigation, is not so dead.  They discover a fantastic city, and the Doctor (curious as always) just has to take a look.  It doesn't take long to discover what lurks beneath the city....DALEKS...don't be fooled because this series is over 37 years old!  And don't let anyone tell you the effects are cheesy...This is CLASSIC WHO, and any true fan should watch!  And the effects are still pretty good, even by todays standards.  And the story is great!  A must have for any Dalek fan (like myself) and Who fan in general.  A Highlight.... Dalek's first use of their now historical punchline "E-X-T-E-R-M-I-N-A-T-E"....
