Doctor Who - Series 3 Vol. 4 [2007]
These three episodes also see Torchwood’s Captain Jack Harkness rejoining the Tardis, and along with the Doctor and Martha, there’s a mighty battle to be fought. It all starts with "Utopia", one of the very finest episodes of Doctor Who’s third season. This is a clever, slow-burning tale, with Derek Jacobi guest-starring, and it features a final ten minutes so good it’s enough to make Who fans weep. Things continue with some style in "The Sound Of Drums", where The Master really comes into his own, replete with a devastating cliffhanger to set up the season finale. And ironically, it’s that finale, "The Last Of The Time Lords", that’s the weakest of the three here, a slightly muddled--but still very enjoyable--wrapping up of a very strong series. The skill of these three episodes is how cleanly they interweave with the subtle building blocks that have been put in place for them over the duration of Doctor Who’s run. And with an ending the bodes well for the 2007 Christmas special too, this DVD is further proof of just what strong shape Doctor Who is in. Cracking stuff. --Jon Foster ReviewsBEST EVER Review date: 2008-04-30 Rating: 10 out of 10 I think thease are the best eposdes of dr who. the acting is brill,john simm is the best master ever. BUY ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT RTD is a curse to Doctor Who and needs removing Review date: 2008-01-18 Rating: 2 out of 10 Russel T. Davies cannot write, full stop, and if you think he can write a good story you obviously don't know what good tv is, try watching 'lost' or 'life on mars' and see how a good story is written, RTD proves once again (and he's done this with every end of season finale since doctor who started) that he's the king of the anti-climax, he'll build a story up and up and up, and then when we're all waiting for a very clever and enjoyable ending he can't think of one and comes out with the most simple dumbass solution that leaves you feeling cheated, and ruining doctor who what i liked: John Simm - good master (and actor) Derek Jacobi - good master (and actor) what i didn't: - the episode - last of the time lords - John Barrowman, annoying in life and annoying on the screen - the lack of the doctor being the doctor - the doctor being turned into an old man and then into Golumn from lord of the rings - what is the point of that - that no one else can see how badly written and poorly plotted a season finale it was John Simm IS the Master Review date: 2007-10-07 Rating: 10 out of 10 The third series of the new Dr Who has had ups and downs but the finale was fantastic! I loved the finale to series 2 with the Daleks and Cybermen but this totally tops that even with the ever annoying martha. The reason for this brillance? John Simm. He is amazing, good looking, funny and plays the master just right. His first real episode the second last one "The sound of drums" is the best. David Tennant plays his part perfectly but John simm steals the show - thanks to some bril writing. The last episode lacks something especially as the Dr takes a back seat for the episode to Martha (who is awful) but its still one of the most memorable episodes to date. If the whole series had been written and cast as well as the last three episodes it would have been by far the best series yet! And it started so well .... Review date: 2007-10-04 Rating: 4 out of 10 The return of the Master was brilliant, with the first two episodes really building up the tension and excitement and the cliff hanger with the Dr caught by the Master was excellent. But what happened next: The master just overacted, The Dr sat around Martha walked around Captain Jack hung around Until the awful Dr/Christ the redeemer ending with the very last scene taken from the 1980's Flash Gordon film. The last Dr Who series has been very patchy in its quality and its strengths and limitations have been demonstrated in this story arc Product Details/SpecificationsActor(s): John Barrowman Freema Agyeman David Tennant John Simm Creators: David Tennant (Primary Contributor) Freema Agyeman (Primary Contributor) Director(s): Recording label: 2 Entertain Video Manufacturer: 2 Entertain Video EAN: 5014503238421 Binding: DVD Number of items: 1 Format: PAL, Release date: 2007-08-20 Audience rating: Parental Guidance Region code: 2 Running time: 144 minutes Theatrical release date: 2007 Language: English (Original Language)
