Doctor Who: The Complete David Tennant Collection (Blu-ray)
Doctor Who: The Complete David Tennant Collection is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of BBC with AVC encoded 1080p transfers in 1.78:1. Tennant's tenure in the role is notable for a reason in addition to its length — it occurred during the switchover from standard definition to high definition, at least if you include the so-called "Specials", which were in essence a limited run set of new episodes, and which are part of this expansive set. Therefore, fans need to expect something akin to a two different Doctors, with Series 2, 3 and 4 obvious upscales, and at least most of the specials looking considerably better, having been culled from native high definition sources. (I haven't been able to find any really verifiable information about this, but to my eyes the first special, "The Next Doctor", looks like an upscale to me as well, something bolstered by the fact that the Confidential about that special is in 480i on the Supplements list I've included below, while the rest of the special Confidential episodes are all in 1080i.) There are persistent upscaling "bugaboos" throughout the presentation of these upscales, including noticeable stairstepping and signs of digital sharpening (with some resultant haloing), but detail levels can often be surprisingly strong, at least given an understanding of context. The palette also looks decently fresh and vivid. Things improve markedly with regard to most of the specials, and some of the other supplemental material, like the animated specials and the two part "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith", from The Sarah Jane Adventures, a perhaps understandably lesser remembered Doctor Who spinoff (see screenshots 21 through 25 for a look at the animated fare as well as the Sarah Jane episodes). In the native high definition material, fine detail levels enjoy a rather considerable uptick, and the palette looks nicely suffused and vivid. Even in the native HD presentations, CGI can at least occasionally look a little soft. My score is a kind of "average" spread across the entire content of this expansive set: Series 2, 3, and 4 probably hover in the 2.5 - 3.5 range in terms of video quality, while the native HD material is at least at 4.0 levels and I'd argue up toward 4.5 levels quite a bit of the time.
Doctor Who: The Complete David Tennant Collection features some surprisingly robust sounding DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mixes, with consistent engagement of the surround channels as well as some floorboard rattling LFE, at least on occasion. There are occasional goofy but nonetheless enjoyable sound effects, including some swirling panning effects as the TARDIS makes its way to new locations (both spatially and temporally). Some urban or at least relatively crowded sequences also provide good opportunities for well placed ambient environmental effects. Dialogue is rendered cleanly and clearly throughout this problem free track.

Compared to my Series 1 DVD box set, it's modern blu-ray cases so it's the cheaper blu-ray cases, compared ot the fold outs and weird stuff DVD collections used to have. Either way I'm happy, super happy, I got this for 16 bucks on sale. I now own BASICALLY my era of Doctor Who.
So the missing stuff is like, David Tennant's voice-over interactive DVD games that used to be a thing. But those are on Youtube. Also I think that like, concert thing they did and the one about Captain Jack finding someone had stolen the TARDIS and he tried to play it off as him regenerating again. Only for David to come onto the set and scold them for playing with the set. And honestly those two minis very well might be on here. There's SO MUCH stuff.
Exterior/Packaging: I expected it to be a somewhat flimsy paper sleeve cover with a box or two inside, and that's what it is- one box for series 2 & 3, which is pretty thin, and a much thicker box for series 4, the 2009 specials, and the other special features including the animated specials "Dreamland" and "The Infinite Quest" as well as the Sarah Jane Adventures story "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith" which featured 10 back in 2009 as well. Talk about a surprise! The art on the discs is good, the art on the individual blu-ray cases and the sleeve cover is surprisingly creative, in my opinion. I don't understand why it is that the Doctor Who logo on the box and cover sleeve couldn't have been the same one from the RTD era, and instead had to be the one for the Chibnall era, but I'm not really surprised by that considering that new logo has taken over all Who merch, and I mean to say every single piece of new Doctor Who merchandise I have ever seen since like mid-2018. Not that big a deal though, but it would've been cool and nostalgic in my view to have that cool old logo back for this. Eh.
Content:, I was VERY pleasantly surprised. One of the perks of owning series 2-2009 specials in their box sets was the special features, including things like Doctor Who Confidential, Tennant's video diaries, deleted scenes and bloopers, the two Children in Need specials, other stuff...all of that is cool stuff if you're a big fan of this era in the show's history and I wasn't expecting that to be included in this release. Guess what...it appears to be all here (not in HD though, as far as I can tell none of the special features are). The blu-ray menus are virtually the same as they were on the old DVD releases but updated for blu-ray style menu navigation which is really cool, to me. I was expecting it to be a lazy single-still menu with the episodes listed on one side or something but its not- they recreated the old menu (at least for series 2, haven't gone further to see if the series 4 menu still will have that annoyingly loud "THE TARDIS IS A WEAPON AND IT MUST BE DESTROYED" dalek audio on it.
Viewing experience: You've got every Tennant episode. In glorious HD!...well, kind of. Reason I say that is because series 2-4 and the Next Doctor 2008 Christmas special were not originally shot in HD-compatible cameras (or whatever you call them) and HD production on Doctor Who didn't begin until 2009's Planet of the Dead. So series 2-4 and the Next Doctor have been "up-converted" I guess from their SD originals. So it doesn't look quite as sharp or crystal clear as you may expect. BUT...it definitely does look better than SD, especially the text of the titles and credits and some of the visual effects. A discernible improvement, but definitely not a "restoration" of any kind (no one's really asking for that, though, at least I don't think so). I was impressed, having seen all the Tennant episodes on DVD and on their iTunes digital downloads (many of which have this bizarre video filter that further diminishes the picture).
Have not yet seen this new Tennant interview but I hope to God its more than like just 5 minutes of him reflecting on the End of Time.
Last, the price. My goodness. Around $35 when I preordered it. Talk about a steal. Get it for the Tennant fan in your life, if its you or someone else. Get it if you're craving these episodes in HD (or close to it).

I'm not sure why this particular set is SO inexpensive, but I'm definitely not complaining!
Physical media is NOT dead, in fact it's an investment these days as episodes, scripts, etc. are sometimes deemed "offensive" or worse "problematic". Get these episodes in HD now and preserve our entertainment past before modern day censors edit or delete them from streaming services.
Excellent set...WELL WORTH the extremely affordable price! If Amazon puts it on sale, don't wait...grab them while they are still available!
David Tennat fue uno de los mejores doctores de la serie y, poder disponer de todos sus capitulos y verlos cuando quieras no tiene comparación.
Tenia mis dudas por el precio (algo que salió realmente económico comparando otras opciones) pero efectivamente están todos sus episodios completos y con una muy buena calidad, además de que el paquete llego en tiempo y forma.
Lo único a considerar es que no se tiene subtítulos ni opción a otros idiomas, pero no por ello deja de ser una muy buena opción para repetir Doctor WHo, además de que no se encuentra en ningún servicio de streaming (al menos en México).

You’re getting the entire tenants years plus the animated episodes and Red Nose Day specials for less than two seasons on Blu-ray.
Unlike the classic who Blu-ray collections, this set is region locked.
This box set seems to also have issue with a multi region Panasonic Blu-ray player. The disc loads as normal but then starts to freeze every 5-10 minutes.
Looks like this one will be going back.
