REVIEW: The Daleks – Doctor Who Collection

Originally posted on Brian Blogs TV on Sunday, September 13, 2015.

One week ago I was perusing DVDs in a local Target store. Just as I was about to leave the section a DVD caught my eye. At first I thought it was the First Doctor’s second story arc “The Daleks” in a re-issued DVD, so I picked it up to read the back. Instead, it is a collection of Doctor Who episodes from the modern series featuring Daleks, as well as a classic series story arc.

Modern Series:
01.06 – “Dalek” – Ninth Doctor, 2005
04.12 – “The Stolen Earth – Tenth Doctor, 2008
04.13 – “Journey’s End” – Tenth Doctor, 2008
07.01 – “Asylum of the Daleks” – Eleventh Doctor, 2012
08.02 – “Into the Dalek” – Twelfth Doctor, 2014

Classic Series:
Story 078 – “Genesis of the Daleks” – Fourth Doctor, 1975

The set also features a 20 minute documentary about the Daleks, and a Dalek laptop decal.

After seeing what the product was, I put it back on the shelf and went on my way. I have been a casual fan of “Doctor Who” since I started watching the modern series in December 2012. But I am not so big of a fan that I want to own the series on DVD. Whenever I want to re-watch the show I will either stream episodes from Netflix or Amazon, or check out the DVDs from the public library (which I am currently doing). I kept thinking about “The Daleks” DVD collection for five days which ended with me deciding that I really wanted to own this set.

The primary reason I wanted it was for “The Stolen Earth” and “Journey’s End”. It is my favorite story arc from the modern series. It is like the “Avengers Assemble” of Doctor Who. It features Rose, Jackie, and Mickey from Seasons 1-2; Martha and her mother from Season 3; Donna, her mother and grandfather from Season 4; Jack, Gwen and Ianto from “Torchwood”; and Sarah Jane and Luke Smith from “The Sarah Jane Adventures”. They all must join together in order to stop Davros, the creator of the Daleks, from using the Reality Bomb to destroy the universe.

The second reason I wanted to buy the DVD set was the price. If you bought the modern series episodes digitally, the cost would be about $4 a piece, which comes out to about $20. Then, if you bought the “Genesis of the Daleks” story arc on DVD, it ranges from $22-30. So “The Daleks” DVD collection is worth about $50. Target sells it for $12.99 – approximately a quarter of its value!

So I went to a Target store closer to my home and bought “The Daleks” DVD set. The episodes are a great sample of the modern series. They feature every Doctor, companion, and theme song version from the last 10 years. And all of the episodes are some of the best. So I would recommend the set for people like me – a casual fan of the series that does not own any seasons on DVD, but would still like to watch a few episodes every now and then.
