Great show and attention to my collection

Got a great price on this Nu-Who set. Very pleased.

Perfect. Has every single Amy and Rory episode, the in-between holiday specials, and all Clara episodes with Matt Smith as the doctor

Husband loved it great show

“Doctor Who: The Matt Smith Collection” collects seasons 5-7 of “Doctor Who” from 2010-2013, including the Christmas episodes “A Christmas Carol,” “The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe,” and “The Time of the Doctor” as well as the 50th anniversary episode, “The Day of the Doctor.” In addition to Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, the collection features Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams, Alex Kingston as River Song, Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald, Neve McIntosh as Madame Vastra, Catrin Stewart as Jenny, Dan Starkey as Strax, Frances Barber as Madame Kovarian, Ian McNeice as Winston Churchill, Richard E. Grant as Dr. Simeon, and Mark Williams as Brian Williams. Season 5 builds to the Pandorica, with clues throughout the series hinting at its true nature and its connection to the Doctor. Season 6 involves the Doctor’s work to counter the Silence, who have been occupying Earth through all of history and view the Doctor as their particular enemy. Season 7 introduces Clara Oswald while delving deep into the Doctor’s own history as the show built toward its 50th anniversary celebration, introducing John Hurt as the War Doctor. Though this collection features all of the episodes from Smith’s tenure, it unfortunately leaves out the various mini-episodes and scenes that Steven Moffat produced as prequels and bonus features beginning in the sixth season. These bonus mini-episodes included: “Prequel to the Impossible Astronaut” (March 2011), “Prequel to the Curse of the Black Spot” (April 2011), “Prequel to A Good Man Goes to War” (May 2011), “Prequel to Let’s Kill Hitler” (August 2011), “Prequel to the Wedding of River Song” (September 2011), “Prequel to the Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe” (December 2011), “Prequel to Asylum of the Daleks” (September 2012), “The Great Detective” (November 2012), “Vastra Investigates: A Christmas Prequel” (December 2012), “The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel” (March 2013), “The Battle of Demon’s Run: Two Days Later” (March 2013), “She Said, He Said: A Prequel” (May 2013), “Clarence and the Whispermen” (May 2013), “Clara and the TARDIS” (September 2013), “Rain Gods” (September 2013), “The Inforarium” (September 2013), “The Night of the Doctor” (November 2013). Many of them are just fun little stories, but it’s a pity that this collection leaves them out, especially as “The Night of the Doctor” provides some needed backstory for the 50th anniversary special, “The Time of the Doctor,” and includes Paul McGann giving a phenomenal performance in his only other on-screen portrayal of the Eighth Doctor outside of the 1996 television film. Other than these omissions, “Doctor Who: The Matt Smith Collection” is a great way to get the televised episodes of Matt Smith’s tenure as the Eleventh Doctor. The box art is lovely and forms an interconnecting image with the collection of Christopher Eccleston & David Tennant’s episodes and the collection of Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor episodes.

great video

Love the show and got this right before it was removed form HBO. Gave it a four because the packaging has some problems. One disc see falling out because the center holder broke.

The packaging is subpar, but the set contains all episodes, including Christmas specials, which is exactly what I was looking for. I transferred the disks to a holder with all the other doctors' sets for a one stop collection.

Està muy padre, tiene todos los capítulos y especial de la participación de Matt Smith, solo hay que ser consciente de que al ser producto estadounidense no cuenta con subtítulos en español, la verdad no se si exista algùn boxset de esta serie con subtìtulos en español por eso fue que tuve que comprar èste despuès de mucho buscar, fuera de eso el contenido es excelente.

Chegou todo quebrado e a devolução é em um ponto de postagem que fica em outra cidade. Estou extremamente decepcionado!

Bought this DVD boxset for my Grandson for Xmas. He loves it.

don’t understand those reviewers who complained about the packaging and state of the discs., very sturdy box set contains many disc very well. very happy with the product.

This is olny for multiple region dvd plays . Will not play on normal DVD players in Australia.
