Doctor Who - The Beginning Collection (DVD, 2006)

I am personally a Whovian. sure there are Star Wars fans, and Star Trek fans, but I have always found Doctor Who to be the greatest of them all, especially with over 15 years of episodes to watch. here is a time Lord with the power to do anything he wants, and he goes around the galaxy saving the universe, and his pet people us earthlings as well. of course the quality of action is not what you expect in today's movies, but overall these are some great classics and I suggest you add them to your archive today, and help the tradition continue.

This shows you Doctor Who at the beginning. How the first Earth companions came to the ship, the first meeting with the Daleks, and the intercommunication and the "gruffness" of the First Doctor.

William Hartnell is the first Doctor, and does the job beautifully. He is alternatively gruff and grandfatherly, verbally stumbling over his words, and mentally besting all-comers.

The regular cast is rounded out by William Russell, Jacquelinh Hill, and Carole Ann Ford.

These are the stories that started the 40+ year phenom of Doctor Who. I recommend this to anyone who not only likes the new series, but anyone who enjoy well written stories.

Great to find some of the Doctor Who shows are now on DVD.

Bought as part of my son's birthday/Christmas gift.

This is one collection that no Dr. Who fan should be without. Sure, the plot is a bit slow, and the dialog and acting leave something to be desired. However, this is where it all began, with The Doctor, and the Daleks.

It was totally fascinating to see how it all began. I have enjoyed the Doctor for many years. I started watching when Tom Baker was the Doctor. I love to see the old episodes. This was a bit rough and unpolished but weren’t most TV shows back in the day. I give this a "Must See" for any Doctor Who fan.

If you like Dr. Who and wish to see how it all started, this would be a wise purchase. "The Unearthly Child" is a must see for any Who fan, "The Daleks" is also a good episode, as it is the first episode to feature the Daleks.

The first three complete stories for the early sixties 'Doctor Who' they represent. Interesting extras; including a condensed version of Marco Polo done with still shots and audio from the original production. I bought this set of DVD's because I am interested in the early days of 'Doctor Who'.

Though I was a youngster when the original Dr Who aired, weaned on the likes of Ultra-Man and Godzilla, I only recently discovered the Dr, with my 10 yr old son and 7 yr old daughter, when the modern first series aired Sun nights on PBS. Much to our dismay, PBS did not carry it very long - just enough to whet our appetites. My curiosity of where and how it all started got me wondering if a DVD might not exist. And sure enough, a few searches later I found that it did indeed. This was exactly what I was looking for - the original series in all of its black and white and low-tech-special-effects glory. This is a perfect compilation for anyone who is curious about the roots of Dr Who, and especially if you have an appreciation for the old 60s style drama and sci-fi. These early episodes are fun, and the time warp experienced in watching them would make the Dr proud. My kids like them as much as I do. Recommended!
