Is it worth it to hunt for the this set or buy the individual seasons and specials? Are the extras worth it? I like the DW Prom extra but not sure if I would re-watch it. I am not sure if my setup would play the UK ones either. I have a PS3. Thanks!

I have no idea what it's going for now, but it's certainly a nice compact packaging of Matt's entire appearance as The Doctor (save for his cameo in 0801 Deep Breath). It's also the only place You can get his two Sarah Jane Adventures episodes on Region A.

Thanks. I was lucky and able to snag a sealed copy off ebay for $102. No one else was bidding.

Started watching Doctor Who with the first Matt Smith season a few years ago and didn't continue past that for some reason. In the last few weeks I have revisited the show with this set and fallen in love with it! Just the right mix of lighthearted fun and interesting sci-fi concepts to make it a perfect show to watch when unwinding after work. Plus, Amy and Clara are quite easy on the eyes.

Being a newcomer to the series, I was really thankful for the numerous bonus features included in this set. In particular, "The Ultimate Guide" was a very informative overview of the long history of the series. Despite not knowing a lot about the previous Doctors, I was laughing out loud at the clever "The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot". Speaking of old Who, does anyone happen to know how accurate the "An Adventure in Space and Time" TV movie is to the actual beginnings of the show? It was interesting, but seemed a little simplistic.

Just started the Peter Capaldi set and I am NOT liking this Doctor so far. Very different from Matt Smith. But I will give the new series time to grow on me, since different Doctors seems to be part of the fun of the show.
