Customer Reviews

A Doctor Who Must Buy
The Jon Pertwee Collection includes six different Doctor Who stories featuring the third doctor, (Spearhead From Space, Inferno, The Claws of Axos, The Three Doctors, Carnival of Monsters, and The Green Death.) Jon Pertwee was arguably the best doctor (personally I'm split between him and Tom Baker as some as his stories, like Genesis Of The Daleks were just amazing.) But with Jon Pertwee you always could look forward to a great story and he delivered every time. Included is the first Doctor Who story to be broadcast entirely in colour (Spearhead From Space,) and also the 10th anniversary (The Three Doctors.) I think Spearhead From Space was the first Doctor Who story to be released onto DVD, and it's not hard to see why, as it is one of the greatest and one of my personal favourite of all time. There are some fantastic special features in the boxed set, especially on The Three Doctors, and Inferno. The boxed set is good value and you're getting six of the greatest Doctor Who stories of all time. The only thing I can fault is that it doesn't include any of his Dalek encounters, which are yet to be released. A must buy for any Doctor Who fan and I recommend that you get it why you can.

Superb box set!
Like the Cyberman boxset. I have these stories already on video only. What tempted me was the value and the boxset presentation. Also the excellent extra documentarys you get with each story. These boxset are great for kick starting a Dr Who DVD collection. I intend to buy the New Beginnings set shortly. All six stories are fine Third doctor stories aswell. A must buy!

TV Heaven
When this appeared in my recommendations I couldn't believe it, what a box set it's pure TV Heaven, I can only salute Amamzon for putting this package together.

The John Pertwee stories here are all total classics, he is a true legend. Along with UNIT the Doctor takes on the Autons, travels to an alternate universe in Inferno, battles the Master the Axons at a Nuclear facility, joins his previous selves in the Three Doctors anniversary show where they battle the mighty Omega, then take on giant maggots in wales and also wind up being stuck in an alien projector in Carnival. Sweet I feel like a kid again just thinking about the shows.

The only people I feel for are those who already have these adventures on DVD. A Bargain. 5 stars
