Doctor Who: The Matt Smith Collection [DVD]

Was great to watch.

Absolutely love this set. The entire Matt Smith Series with some extras thrown in. It is a DVD set so as far as quality goes, it works as expected and arrived in a timely fashion.Very Happy with the purchase.

“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.

love these shows

I’m a late comer to the reboot—but I’m making my way through ALL the doctors and enjoying every episode!

So many hours of doctor who, cheaper than buying each season individually. Good buy🤙🏼

Perfect gift for your favorite Whovian

I got this set and the first set (Christopher Eccleston & David Tennant) at the same time as this one. The artwork on the cases are amazing. The inner part of the cases leave much to be desired. This set the disc holders inside are tricky to get the discs to stay put. You really have to make sure the disc is fully set into the clips, otherwise they pop out easily, such as when you close the case or sit it down. I love sets, and the artwork on the cases and the discs. Would be a five star if the cases were better.
