Amazon.co.uk Review: The second series of the new Doctor Who disappears with a bang, thanks to an excellent two-parter that throws in the Doctors' old foes with the departure of companion Rose Tyler.
Yet this final disc of the series two collection actually kicks off with "Fear Her", a decent enough way to spend three quarters of an hour, but far from the series highlight, and not the reason most people will buy this disc. It's a breezy tale of a little girl whose disturbing drawings come to life, a premise admittedly with some promise. The execution though is fairly middle of the road, and save for some fun moments along the way, it's fairly forgettable, if entertaining, stuff.
The closing two parter though is terrific. It kicks of with "Army Of Ghosts", which finds the residents of Earth being visited by strange ghostly shapes, believed to be assorted relatives who have long since died. Predictably, that's not the case, and much to the shock of Torchwood, an Earth-based organisation investigating alien technology, the world promptly finds itself pretty much invaded. And there's still room for things to get worse in "Doomsday", with more than one major villain from the Doctor's past arriving on Earth, prompting a major battle, the return of faces from earlier in the series and a farewell to Rose Tyler.
It all wraps up another hugely successful series of Doctor Who, and once again does it with a considerably strong pair of final episodes. We've said it before and we'll say it again--we can't wait to see how they'll top it next time around… --Simon Brew

Rating: - A Great end to a brilliant programme!
Volume 5 concludes the excellent TV Show (Doctor Who)! Such a shame to see Rose go as we only just got used to the new doctor I believe the best so far. David Tennant adds the 'wacky' side to Doctor Who making him brilliant and excellent for the part. He works well with Billie Piper and acts it out as if he as Doctor Who has known the her for years and really has only been acting the part since the second Series. He adds the comedy to the show David Tennant fits the part brilliantly. I personally ... Read More

Rating: - Doctor Who - Series 2: Vol. 5 Review
If you buy just one of the series 2 DVD's, buy this one!
Three great episodes to finish of a series of great episodes (except for the Love and Monsters Vol.4 story)!
Fear her sees the Doctor and Rose visit the 2012 Olympics, where children disappear off the streets due to something mysterious working it's magic! While this is a great episode, it is the final two parter which really justifies why you should buy this DVD!

Rating: - A wonderful climax to the second series and a tearful goodbye to Rose Tyler
This DVD continues the second series of the BBC's hit revival of 'Doctor Who' and contains three episodes. David Tennant's performance as the Tenth Timelord remains strong, energetic and vibrant, whilst Billie Piper as Rose Tyler remains his equal in every way. This disc contains no special features, but there will be a 6-disc boxet released in November that comes crammed with bonus material and content. But if you're like me and can't wait that long, this DVD is definitely a must-buy when it is released. ... Read More
