“Do you wanna come with me?
'Cause if you do, then I should warn you, you're gonna see all sorts of
things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future.
The day the Earth died in a
ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe and it won't be calm. But
I'll tell you what it will be: the trip of a lifetime.”

New York – September 4, 2013
– The only
thing better than watching Doctor Who is watching it in high definition,
which is why BBC Home Entertainment is celebrating Doctor Who’s
50th anniversary with the release of Doctor Who: The Complete
Series 1-7 Limited Edition Blu-ray Gift Set on November 5, 2013. The set
includes the complete adventures of the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston,
Thor: The Dark World) and Tenth Doctor (David Tennant,
Broadchurch, Fright Night), available in newly remastered Blu-ray
versions at full 1080p resolution for the first time ever, sitting alongside
those of the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) in this high definition collection.
The Home Entertainment team has gone above and beyond to bring fans the best
possible experience, and have also fully remastered the complete Tenth Doctor
Specials as well as The Complete Fifth and Sixth Series (previously available on
Blu-ray), to full 1080p resolution as well. Throw in the new Doctor Who: The
Complete Seventh Series Blu-ray set along with hours and hours of bonus
features from the past collections PLUS 120 minutes of bonus material that has
never previously been available on disc, as well as more goodies than you can
shake a sonic screwdriver at, and this is one blue box that just might actually
be bigger on the inside.
And
speaking of sonic screwdrivers…
“Who looks
at a screwdriver and thinks, ‘Ooh, this could be a little more
sonic.’?”

Of course they neglected to mention that the first 4 seasons of Doctor Who were shot in standard definition. The upscale to 1080P shouldn't deliver that much of a difference in quality to the DVDs. So if you have the DVDs of those seasons already and the blurays of the Matt Smith seasons then it is definitely not worth it. Now if you don't have these on discs, perhaps it is.
