Kicking off with a jam-packed Christmas special and ending with a blockbuster extended closing installment, Doctor Who's fourth season since it was revived is a breathless, exciting one that also boasts some exceptional episodes. The ones in particular to watch out for are the outstanding "Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead" doubleheader, the almost-single-location creepfest that is "Midnight," and the trio of "Turn Left," "The Stolen Earth," and "Journey's End" that round off the season. In the midst of those is also one of the very best cliffhangers in Doctor Who's long and glorious history.

This is also the season that introduces Catherine Tate as full-time companion Donna Noble, working alongside David Tennant's Doctor across time and space. And it's--against initial expectations--arguably the best combination since the show returned. There's no hint of romance between the pair, as they instead knuckle down to business, occasionally helped by the likes of Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen), and Jack Harkness (John Barrowman). And let's not forget the collection of monsters we meet this time around. The Daleks and Davros are the main attractions, while the return of the Sontarans proves to be a bit of a disappointment. But after viewing the series, chances are you'll be counting shadows around you, and wary of getting on the wrong side of the Ood.

As with most series of Doctor Who, there are one or two uneven episodes and some missteps, but the show is still unmatched at what it does, and even more confident than last time round. That, along with the immense rewatch value, is what makes this a terrific piece of family entertainment.

Ordered on the 6th, arrived on the 10th. And that's AFTER being re-directed from my corporate address to my (at that time) current locale [venue]. Astonished!

I ordered the Fourth Series of Doctor Who on May 23rd,2010', I haven't received my purchase as of yet and it is now June 25th,2010. I have sent several emails to this company and they don't respond to any of them. I even have notify Amazon and have yet to hear from them too. I have never had any problem with Amazon and am now wondering what is going on with my purchase. My honest opinion is not to order anything from Break_Time, it's a waste of money, you'll never see product or your money back again, cause NO ONE well respond to your problem, not even Amazon.!

Although I loved the relationship between the Doctor and Rose, Donna is by far my favorite companion of the new Dr. Who series. Donna is truly a friend to the Doctor. Their characters bring out the best in each other and the actors have a definite chemistry. The end of their association was even more heart-wrenching than Rose being cast into the parallel world. David Tennant is absolutely fantastic as the Doctor. The actors and the writers have done an awesome job reviving the Doctor Who series.

I've been a Doctor WHO fan for a few decades now and throughly enjoyed the series.

This series keeps getting better with some outstanding stories, interesting people, and some twists that make the good Doctor a bit more mysterious. Well directed, acted, filmed, a most enjoyable experience.
