it start with random episode on bbca ... then check the schedule for episode ... then set the dvr ... and now this boxed set . must admit unrestricted affection for David Tennant , but he be quite spectacular in every moment of every episode in this set . this doctor be ebullient , benevolent , witty , and frequently grieve by he responsibility and role in the universe . now , I be a english teacher and not a 12 year old boy , and I have never be much for science fiction at all . Dr. who be transcend the genre -- it be full of archetype and imagery and allusion to religion , science , culture , history and myth ... on the surface , it be lovely , fun , and thoughtful family entertainment . dig a bit deeper , watch a bit closer , and learn a bit more . I have since get two other Tennant set and be start to consider `` other '' doctor ... all this from someone who do not like sci-fus . we never stop learn about ourselves , I guess . oh , wait , that be yet another english teacher-loving theme that run through the series !
