Doctor Who Series 1 Vol 3

Starring: Christopher Eccleston, Billie Piper, John Barrowman, Simon Pegg, Richard Wilson.

Directed by: Brian Grant, Joe Ahearne, James Hawes.

This release features 4 more episodes from the new series of Doctor Who.

Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor is wise and funny, cheeky and brave. An alien and a loner (it’s difficult keeping up with friends when your day job involves flitting through time and space), his detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world’s in danger. But when it comes to human relationships, he can be found wanting. That’s why he needs new assistant Rose.

Rose (Billie Piper) is a shop-girl from the present day. From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose are soulmates. They understand and complement each other. As they travel together through time, encountering new adversaries, the Doctor shows her things beyond imagination. She starts out as an innocent, unfettered by worldly concerns. But she ends up an adventurer who, by the end of the series, can never go home again…

Episodes:-

‘The Long Game’ – In the far future, Satellite 5 broadcasts to the entire Earth Empire. Nothing escapes the eye of the sinister Editor and the Doctor suspects mankind is being manipulated. But just who is the Editor working for? And does Adam (Bruno Langley), have what it takes to become the Time Lord’s companion?

‘Father’s Day’ – The Doctor and Rose return to 1987 and the scene of her father’s tragic accident. But when she interferes in the course of events, the monstrous Reapers are unleashed upon the world and a wedding day turns into a massacre. Even the Doctor is powerless as the human race is devoured…

‘The Empty Child’ – London, 1941, at the height of the Blitz. The army guards a mysterious cylinder and homeless children, living on bombsites, are terrorised by an unearthly child. Rose meets the dashing Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), and wonders if she has found a hero even better than the Doctor?

‘The Doctor Dances’ – In the second part of ‘The Empty Child’ story, the Child’s plague spreads through Wartime London with it’s zombie army on the march. The Doctor and Rose form an alliance with Captain Jack, but find themselves trapped in the abandoned hospital. The answer lies at the bombsite but time is running out…
