Doctor Who DVD - Series 2 Volume 2
DVD Description
This second batch of episodes from David Tennants maiden run as the title character finds Doctor Who building up an impressive head of steam. Theres a trip back in time to see Queen Victoria, a reunion with an old friend and some deadly clockwork nemeses to contend with as the series really bursts into life.
Tooth & Claw is first up, set back in 1897 Scotland, as the Doctor and Rose must contend with a deadly werewolf, mysterious monks and the suspicions of Queen Victoria. Its not the strongest of the series, but even so, this is Doctor Who on fine form and very sure footing.
School Reunion is superb, though. It brings back two of the Doctors previous companions, Sarah-Jane and K-9, and asks some intriguing questions of what happens to his assistants once he leaves them behind. That it also ties in an intriguing story of sinister goings on at an innocent looking school only adds to the achievement.
The final episode, The Girl In The Fireplace, is also excellent with The Doctor getting involved with Madame du Pompadour, mistress to King Louis XV.
Review: The Dr Who DVDs of the new series have got to be at the very top of most Doctor Who fans wish lists. An absolute must have Christmas present.
