Doctor Who: Sylvester McCoy: Complete Season Three

Great series, with improved packaging versus prior releases. Many classic episodes from the era included here.

For the final season of the original run of Doctor Who, Sylvester McCoy's third season as the titular character was his best and most consistent. Most of this season focused on the Doctor's schemes and machinations to help his companion, Ace, overcome certain obstacles and fears for a specific purpose. Unfortunately, that purpose was not explained or fulfilled since it was aimed for what would have been the 27th season of the show. However, the show was put 'on tender' and would not return fully until 2005. Battlefield was arguably the best story of the season, pitting the Doctor, Ace, and the returning Brigadier Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart against Morgaine, her son Mordred, and the Destroyer. Ghost Light was arguably the most confusing story of all the show's history, but is important in Ace's growth as she overcomes a gruesome trauma in her youth. The Curse of Fenric places the Doctor and Ace in World War Two against a futuristic vampiric race, while Survival touts the last battle between the Doctor and the Master in classic Who. With this set, the special features are plentiful. Not only do you get outtakes, making-of documentaries, and photo galleries, but we also have the fun and humorous Behind the Sofa series where former cast members and production staff watch the stories from this season. This set also features the extended versions of Battlefield and The Curse of Fenric that were only available on the VHS releases. Also included are interviews with writers, producers, and with Ace herself, Sophie Alldred. One also has the options to go with the original sound tracks and with the upgraded 5.1 surround sound for this and other Blu-Ray sets in the series. For the money, the third and final season for Sylvester McCoy is worth every penny for long-time fans and newer fans of Doctor Who. With extended stories, interviews, the Behind the Sofa series, and more, one will be watching the content on these Blu-Rays for some time. And you will enjoy every minute of that content. Guranteed.

Nice case. Excellent video quality.

great doctor who. bluray looks excellent. hard to find, thanks Walmart!

I love this Blu Ray box set and the price was great and it arrived on time.

I am and avid collector of Dr Who DVDS. This is great for my collection. This Dr Who is not one of the better Drs so only someone who likes the series should get it.
