Are you a fan of Doctor Who? It’s had a major surge in popularity over the last couple of years here in the States, so it’s more and more common to find people who are becoming fans of the classic series. If you’re one of the ones who has yet to watch any of it, then you need to boot up Netflix or purchase/borrow the series, because you’re missing out! I didn’t start with the older series of Doctor Who, like some of my friends did. I started the series back in 2005 with Eccleston’s ninth Doctor, which is a great starting point for modern Doctor Who. Well, for fans like me or for newcomers, BBC Home Entertainment has some great news.
BBC Home Entertainment is releasing a Doctor Who Limited Edition Gift Set, which includes quite a lot of content. As soon as I read the announcement, I went into “take my money!” mode. See details below:

“Whether you’re shopping for the Doctor Who fan on your holiday list or looking to introduce the Doctor into someone’s life for the very first time, this limited edition set is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Or buy it for yourself, because c’mon now- would you really want to give this away? Collecting the complete series 1-6 featuring Christopher Eccleston (the ninth Doctor), David Tennant (the tenth Doctor) and Matt Smith (the eleventh Doctor), the gift set includes over 70 hours of Doctor Who in all. It also includes hours and hours of bonus features including 3 new Doctor Who Specials coming to DVD for the first time ever, a collectible 11th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver, 3 original art cards and the comic book, “Doctor Who at Comic Con.” It’s hard to imagine how so much content can fit in such a tiny box- you don’t think it’s bigger on the inside, do you?”
