Three Final Specials Followed by Six Fabulous Episodes!
2013 is the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Who. The classic era had 7 Doctors, running from 1963 to 1989. An American one-off made-for-TV movie gave us the 8th Doctor in 1996. The modern era started in 2005. This DVD set is the last set of 50th Anniversary "Doctors Revisited" TV Specials and covers the 3 modern Doctors, 9 - 11. Each Special has commentators, photos and clips from the series. The DVDs contain the three documentary Specials PLUS the episodes that originally aired following the documentaries AND special introductions to each by current showrunner Steven Moffat. The episodes picked are action-packed convoluted science fiction at its best.
Previously issued:
In July 2013, the Specials for Doctors 1-4:
Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited 1-4
In October 2013, the Specials for Doctors 5-8:

Three sets of two-parters for Doctor's 9, 10, & 11
The BBC states the following will be on this set:
Christopher Eccleston as the 9th Doctor in "Bad Wolf" and "Parting of the Ways," David Tennant as the 10th Doctor in "The Stolen Earth" and "Journey's End," and Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor in "The impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon."
Like the previous 'Revisited' sets, this one features a bonus specially-recorded Introduction by Current Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat.
In my opinion, not bad choices in episodes to represent each Doctor. However, I think that "Army of Ghosts" and "Doomsday" would have been a better choice for the 10th (Tennant).
The Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors
Doctor Who turned the big 50 last weekend and BBC is continuing the celebration by releasing Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited - Ninth-Eleventh featuring a 2-part story for each actor's (Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith) tenure as the Doctor. Each story is presented in its original 2-part version, a feature film version with an introduction by Steven Moffat and a 25-minute documentary on each Doctor. Additionally, there are four magnets included with the set.
Christopher Eccleston's stay as the ninth Doctor may have been short, but he did help reboot the franchise for a new generation of fans. His final two episodes, Bad Wolf & The Parting of Ways) are presented in this set. The Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack Harkness suddenly find themselves separated on various game shows (The Weakest Link, Big Brother and What Not To Wear), only for a few minor changes - the losers are exterminated. As the Doctor escapes the game show, he soon learns his enemy - Daleks are...
