ON November 9th, the BBC proudly brings to Blu-ray and DVD the new era of Doctor Who - which delivered BBC America record ratings - with the release of Doctor Who: The Complete Fifth Series. The first full Doctor Who season to be released on Blu-ray Disc, the 6-disc DVD and Blu-ray sets include all 13 episodes from this thrilling series plus two exclusive new scenes, Doctor Who Confidentials, outtakes and much more.
In the new rebooted series from BAFTA-winning writer Steven Moffat (Steven Spielberg's upcoming Tintin, Jekyll, Coupling), The Doctor has regenerated into a brand-new man, but danger strikes before he can even recover. Matt Smith debuts as the new, eleventh incarnation of the famous Time Lord alongside a new traveling companion, the enigmatic Amy Pond (Karen Gillan). With his time machine, the TARDIS, wrecked and the sonic screwdriver, his most crucial device, destroyed, the new Doctor has just 20 minutes to save the whole world.
Steven Moffat, creator of some of the most frightening and award-winning Doctor Who episodes to date - including the BAFTA-winning Blink, which starred Oscar nominees Carey Mulligan - takes over as lead writer and executive producer. Guest-stars include Alex Kingston (ER, Flash Forward), BAFTA-winner James Cordon (Gavin & Stacey, History Boys), Oscar nominee Sophie Okonedo (The Secret Life of Bees, Hotel Rwanda), Tony Curran (24) and more.
Following its BBC America premiere, this new chapter garnered incredible media acclaim including The Los Angeles Times proclaiming, "the new Who feels at once traditional and fresh and completely right," and The Hollywood Reporter raving, "it's some of the best-produced, cheekiest and imaginative storytelling on the tube." The Doctor Who series is recognized by Guinness World Records as "the most successful Sci-Fi series on television," and "TV's longest running Sci-Fi show."
Bonus features on this DVD/Blu-ray release include:
Meanwhile in the TARDIS- Newly filmed scenes written by Steven Moffat, exclusive to DVD and Blu-ray, telling what happens between the episodes.
Doctor Who Confidential - An inside look at each episode.
Monster Files - Get under the skin and inside the minds of the new Doctor's most challenging opponents.
