Doctor Who - Series 3 Vol. 2 Reviews

What On Earth???

Volume 2 is interesting to say the least. The first two episodes are a two-parter that is based in post-war New York. The daleks are not at their best, as one has emotions, so the scare factor is not quite as good. However episodes 3 and 4 on the disc make up for this. The Lazurus experiment is super scary, whereas 42 is edge of your seat stuff. To say the least a brilliant disc, a necessity to all fans of the doctor.

A little disappointing

The Dalek episodes in this series are probably the weakest of either the new series or the original Who, but the Lazarus Experiment makes up for this to some extent. The story '42' is very much a stand alone story, despite the growing influence of Harold Saxon in the background.

Fantastic!

I love this show and I think David Tennant is definitely one of the better Doctors. This whole series is good. There are a couple of odd episodes that seemed to be fillers but overall the entire series is worth watching. Martha Jones made an excellent companion although I don't really like the fact that the last couple of companions fall 'in love' with the doctor - for me that just doesn't work but there's plenty of action and adventures to make up for it. If you're a Doctor Who fan, you won't want to miss this series.

Dr Who

Rented for my 9 year old son who loves Dr Who but he did find the Lazarus experiment too scary to watch - apart from that he loved it - it seems so much better than when I was his age!!!!!
