Whovians won’t want to miss these incredible early-year offers on Doctor Who DVDs and Blu-rays. The Doctor’s adventures in time and space have been collected into box-set collections for several years, and right now is the perfect time for fans to fill any gaps in their collection. The best bargains on Doctor Who box sets in the known universe are live at Amazon.
The long-running sci-fi series has just soft-booted following its 60th anniversary and four specials that concluded on Christmas Day with the first full adventure of Fifteenth Doctor Ncuti Gatwa. It’s the perfect time to catch up for a box-set binge of the series that led to the current era. However, it’s not all about the complete adventures of modern Doctors. The deals extend way back in time to the classic series, including an impressively feature-packed collection of intergalactic adventures from 1964.
Physical media is a great way for fans to get their hands on complete Doctor Who adventures. The various eras of the show and different production deals mean that U.S. viewers currently need several separate streaming services to catch the entire 60 years of the show. The unfortunate loss of many early episodes and resulting rolling animated remakes and photographic reconstructions, as seen in the 1964 Collection above, mean these box sets are the most complete way to watch the Doctor’s adventures.
New fans have plenty of reason to start building their collections as they catch up on the classic and modern era of the show. To pick them up at the best price with the fastest delivery options, shoppers at Amazon can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Prime.
FAQs
Is Doctor Who filmed in 4K?
Doctor Who arrived in high-definition in 2010, at the start of David Tennant’s final year as the Tenth Doctor. Starting around Season 11 (2018), episodes of Doctor Who were filmed in 4K, but many special effects were produced in 2K. Standard definition seasons are routinely upscaled for the collected Blu-ray releases, so 1080p will likely remain the best quality viewing experience for Doctor Who fans to catch the whole saga.
Who is the longest-running Doctor?
Doctor Who likes to be complicated, so there isn’t an easy answer to who has played the Doctor the most. Pauses in production and a change from serials (multi-art stories) to the modern 45-minute to one-hour stories mean there are various metrics to measure the lifetime of the 15 actors who have played the Doctor. Of the classic era, Tom Baker is the undisputed champion with 173 episodes under his long scarf (42 stories, including his appearance as the Curator in the 50th anniversary special Day of the Doctor).
In the Modern era, David Tennant has an impressive 52 episodes under his pin-striped suit across multiple series, specials, and two incarnations of the Doctor. When it comes to time between regenerations, Eighth Doctor Paul McGann holds the record. Despite only having the 1996 TV movie to his name for many years, he stacked up an incredible 17 years between his first appearance and regeneration in the 50th anniversary short Night of the Doctor.
