four!

So what lies at the heart of this desperate and spectacular city?

him that he alone can save the world.
Thought of by many as one of the scariest episodes of Doctor Who ever, Blink actually features very little of the Doctor
himself, but it loses none of it's impact in doing so.

in the final episodeof the series, Last Of The Time Lords.The entire human race has been reduced to slavery,
as the mighty warships of a new Time Lord Empire rise from the ashes. Only Martha Jones can save the world...
David Tennant does the impossible and actually betters his performance as The Doctor in this series.
David's ability to make the viewer truly believe that he is a 900-year-old Time Lord is astounding.
He takes us through a huge range of emotions from being a world weary and lonely traveller, to a compassionate but resolute
hero. He also brings fantastic comic timing and a slight eccentricity back to the role. He has given the Tenth incarnation
of the Doctor so much depth; I truly believe he is the greatest Doctor of all time.
Freema Agyeman blends seamlessly with the cast in her role as Martha the love struck medical student.
She gives a natural and realistic portrayal of an intelligent and independent young woman who lets her heart rule her head
and ends up having to save the world.
This DVD also comes with fantastic extars including a video diary made by David on the set of the show,
Freema shows us round the studios and you can listen to commentaries from the cast and crew on each episode. As well as all
this you get cut down Doctor Who Confidentials to take you behind the scenes of the show in over 6 hours of extras.
