Thanks, I must have clicked and got it mid revision. I've never seen a Doctor Who. Could I buy and watch this, or would I be missing too much by not watching from the start?
As someone who is just getting into Doctor Who right now, I can tell you what I've learned.
With Doctor Who going so far back, you can't really watch it from the beginning. Each doctor is different, and things look different with each doctor. While the stories are all canon, they don't build on top of each other really, and you won't be missing out on too much if you haven't watched the classic Doctors.
Having said all that, if you want to watch a classic Doctor so that you feel you understand the Whoverse, go with Tom Baker.

If you don't want to watch any classic Doctor Who, or after you have, then move on to the first modern Doctor Who series with David Eccleston. The Eccleston series is a bit hit and miss, because they were still trying to figure out how best to make a modern version. They were working out the kinks and finding what works best. Watching the Eccleston series will have you prepared for all the other modern Doctors

Note, only season 4 and the specials are in HD, so don't expect amazing video quality. It should have the animated specials too, which are cool, especially the one about Area 51.

However, this is an excellent collection, with a lot of bonus content. I love it - definitely a must for Tennant fans and Whovians. And this is the same price that I snagged it at earlier this year. I don't think it's been cheaper since COVID.

BTW, all of the Doctor Who episodes from 2005 onwards are on HBO Max, so if you have a subscription, and don't necessarily care about the bonus content, just watch it there.

2005 - doctor who is where to start. I tried watching the newest doctor who with a few episodes, but it wasn't the same...I'm not sure Who is taking over as the next Who...
(The newest Doctor Who isn't the same)
I know many people here on slickdeals dislike any sort of political commentary from posters, but the fact of the matter is that tons of media today is filled to the brim with political messages, and it is impossible to accurately critique a show without mentioning the politics.
So what went wrong with the first female doctor? They completely blew it. The Doctor is a powerful character, both in terms of intelligence, logic, and bravery. Instead of doing the obvious and making the first female doctor possess all those traits, they turned her into an indecisive, weak, morally-paralyzed character whose main focus is leftist politics. It cannot be overstated just how badly they screwed up.
A female Doctor is one of the few characters where people would have instantly believed she was a strong character. She wouldn't have to "prove it" because she would simply *be* the Doctor. No ifs, ands, or buts.
tl;dr: they killed what makes Doctor Who great, they failed miserably at their first female doctor, and the show became SJW propaganda instead of lighthearted entertainment

I was iffy about Capaldi, but he grew on me. After that, it went downhill...even with many hyping JW up to be the best of all of the Dr. WHO, i stopped following along those seasons. Maybe someday it gets better again..
Had an identical experience with the show. It's sad that yet another beloved franchise has been taken over by people that have no love, respect or appreciation. It's more about checking boxes and bean counting than quality of content. Clever writing, loveable characters and fun take a backseat to pushing an agenda.
Discovered the Capaldi episodes while flipping channels one night and became addicted. It's so disappointing to see what has happened to this great show.

Tennant is the best Doctor of the new series with many of the best stories. I would still recommend starting with Eccleston, but you can't go wrong with Tennant.
Actually, the Steven Moffat penned episodes with Matt Smith are better written, more consistent, and have superior production values.

The episode written by Neil Gaiman where the TARDIS comes alive as Suranne Jones may be the best Doctor Who episode of the modern series. But there is no doubt that David Tennant was an amazing Doctor.

Russell T. Davies, who was the showrunner and lead writer during the first 4 seasons, is coming back in 2023 with the next Doctor after Jody Whitaker finishes.

What's sad is that JW is a fine actress. She probably could've handled "real" Doctor Who stories with ease. The writing and direction were garbage. It wasn't her fault, but the first female doctor will always be viewed as a failure. At least they are ending it early, and not insisting on a long run for JW.

Maybe im the only one but I find Tennant overrated. His style of acting is very overdone and overly dramatic. I liked Eccleston better. I'm curious to see Matt Smith.

This is coming from someone who is just getting into Doctor Who (halfway through 3rd season).

Yeah...everything woke turns to crap. I'm going to give it a shot when I get to it, but I have not heard good stuff.

Doctor Who definitely has left leaning undertones so far, but they don't shove it in your face and their commentary is sometimes actually insightful.

Tennant mostly did theater before Who, so his acting in Who was a bit "theatrical". But my personal take is that it fit the personality of Dr Who - he's an alien with two hearts after all, running around saving the universe! Watching Tennant on late night PBS was one of my fondest teenager memories.

The first female Doctor was such a letdown. They did the female Master quite well, why not the Doctor? SMH.

Watched several seasons of Doctor Who as a deal to a friend. Couldn't understand why people love it.

Jodi Whittaker did an excellent job but was plagued with awful scripts, I felt similarly about Capaldi. I think castings of the doctors has been excellent but writing has been letting the series down. Tennant, eccelson, and even Smith had a ton more to work with. Jodi also had an army of companions that diluted her role to an ensemble player.

Doctor Who has always been political so that doesn't bother me, its just the heavy handed lesson of the week monologs that Jodi was forced to deliver every episode that felt offensive because of the lazy writing.

Tennant was excellent, sure there are some goofy, awful episodes but thats part of the Doctor Who charm.

Blink is an absolutely brilliant episode, id put up against almost any scifi show in existence. That episode alone is worth the price of admission.
