Doctor Who: Christmas Specials Giftset

2015 was the year I suddenly became really crazy about Doctor Who - I had always watched the show but somehow just became very much more of a fanatic. I had to have a Tardis, and when I saw that this speaker not only functioned as a bluetooth accessory but also made the famous Tardis sounds - well, naturally I had to have it. At $69 to get the speaker plus the Christmas Blu-Ray set is a great deal. I haven't watched the Blu-Rays yet, but I am very much looking forward to it. The speaker works great with my iPhone, connects right away and plays music / podcasts / audiobooks. The quality is good, if you're looking for Bose level quality, this isn't the one for you, but it is a step up from my previous speakers. The volume output is quite good. Now for the famous Tardis sounds - when you turn it on you will hear the "materialize" sound, there is a "we're in trouble" sound while pairing, and the Cloister Bell gongs when the speaker is connected to your bluetooth device. These sounds are LOUD and you have no control over it, as another fellow said, don't turn on this on when someone is sleeping in the next room! Also when the speaker is not in use, after a few minutes the "Dematerialize" sound happens and this is also loud - when my wife heard this the first time (not a Doctor Who fan) she said what the heck was that? Even more funny is the "Turbulence" sound that occurs when the speaker is low on power, I heard that clear across the house and knew something was wrong! On a full charge the speaker seems to last between 8 and 10 hours. I have had it for about 3 weeks now and I absolutely love it.

Great set, as described it comes with only the Christmas Specials (well and the only New Year's Special that is the second part of the xmas special that was the swang song of the 10th Doctor).The episodes included are-The Christmas Invasion (10th Doctor)-The Runaway Bride (10th Doctor)-Voyage of the Damned (10th Doctor)-The Next Doctor (10th Doctor)-The End of Time Part 1 (10th Doctor)-The End of Time Part 2 (10th Doctor)-A Christmas Carol (11th Doctor)-The Doctor, The Widow, and the Wardrobe (11th Doctor)-The Snowmen (11th Doctor)-The Time of the Doctor (11th Doctor)-Last Christmas (12th Doctor)The episodes at least visually and in sound have no difference with the releases before this (the 10th Doctor Episodes on the bluray set that has all the episodes until the 7th Series includes all his episodes and i see no difference with those, and the others have been released in separate ways or as part of the Series set)The only new extra here is a brief (20 minutes maximum) of a british celebrity revising the xmas adventures of the Doctor. (a brief version of this extra was already avaible on internet).The great plus here is theBluetooth TARDIS. It makes sound when the devices connects, disconnects, when the TARDIS is turned on it makes the sound of the TARDIS materializing. It has a great power speaker and the light on top illuminates when turned on. I thought the size of the TARDIS was like a bluray box like the image makes us think, but it's a lot bigger on the outside (fans will get this) than a bluray box. So for collector's it's a perfect oportunity to get a TARDIS and even better a TARDIS Bluetooth Speaker.

I love the Tardis speaker. It charges quickly with the USB cable. The instructions say it should be able to hook up with your computer if attached by the USB cable, but I have only been able to get it to connect to my aging 2008 MacBook Pro by using the Bluetooth connection. It pairs excellently with my iPhone and iPad also. A total treat for this Whovian.In a comment to another post I listed all the episodes included in the three disk set, and I am repeating this info below as it is not included in the item information by Amazon. I am giving this only 4 stars because the DVD set arrived with the middle piece to one of the DVD holders half broken, making it impossible to securely stow one of them when not in use. All three DVD's were loose in the case on arrival but fortunately not scratched and all played well.Tenth Doctor David Tennant specials---The Christmas InvasionThe Runaway BrideVoyage of the DamnedThe Next DoctorThe End Of Time, Part OneThe End Of Time, Part TwoEleventh Doctor Matt Smith specials--A Christmas CarolThe Doctor, the Widow and the WardrobeThe SnowmenThe Time of the DoctorTwelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi special--Last ChristmasThere is also a bonus feature called Ten Christmases: "in this exclusive new feature Rufus Hound is on a mission to discover what makes a Doctor Who Christmas Special so special!"

This set provides us with several of the 'Christmas' Specials. Six involving the tenth Doctor, played by David Tennant. These were not in of themselves specials. Written primarily by producer Russel T. Davies. Then four involving the eleventh Doctor played by Matt Smith. Written by producer Steven Moffatt. These were the episodes that I enjoyed the most. And one with the twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi.I must state this one was named 'The Last Christmas' and by the dullness of it probably will be the last special.As a bonus feature it has a completely lame and very unfunny special about the specials, with Rufus Hound, who evidently played a small part in one episode.I bought this on the Amazon Yearly Special Buys day. And so also received a 'Sonic Screwdriver'. I have yet to use it as it requires batteries,and it seems the people of Gallifrey also are forced to have their products manufactured in China.Three great episodes, seven good episodes, one dull one, and a bonus not worth watching again. But hey, A SONIC Screwdriver!

I love having all the Christmas specials (until time of the DVD's production of course) in one place. I always watch a DW Christmas special on Christmas Eve when I'm finishing up wrapping presents, and some of them really are immensely touching, seasonal stories. My favourites will always be "The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe," "A Christmas Carol," and "Last Christmas."Quality is great, the discs have held up well so far and we're over a year in. The sonic screwdriver was a really fun present for my Dad who's been a fan since Day 1 of the classic series - overall a great purchase.

Disappointed to discover this set does not include The Husbands of River Song (2015), Doctor Mysterio (2016), or Twice Upon a Time (2017). Still, it came with a sonic screwdriver, so that's fun to have!

Every year I watch a Dr Who Christmas special marathon. It helps me to hang on to my sanity during the holiday season. There's nothing like killer robot santa's to help you keep your perspective during the holidays.

El artículo en general está excelente, es grandioso.. como ya comentamos algunos, no cuenta con subtítulos en español pero vale la pena. Lo único malo es que el empaque (blíster) venía muy dañado, es el blíster en el que vienen ambos productos, los individuales estaban intactos, pero me hubiera gustado que estuviese el otro también en buenas condiciones, no sé si fue manejo de paquetería y así venía, deberían de etiquetarlos como frágil ya que es muy delgado.

Got this as a Christmas present for my little sister 2 years ago. She was so happy that she actually cried when she saw the sonic scree driver! She loved it.
