Edition:  France (1st) When:   March 2006 Format:  4 x DVD Owned: Do you own this?Yes - I own itNo - I want itNo - not interested Buy: New:   EUR 19,94 Used:   EUR 19,90 Cover blurb: Doctor Who est en apparence un homme dynamique, courageux et drôle. Un homme tout à fait ordinaire, à ce détail près qu'il parcourt l'espace et le temps à bord de son vaisseau, le TARDIS, réglant toutes sortes de problèmes, combattant des monstres tous plus hideux et machiavéliques les uns que les autres, et sauvant au passage la Terre à plusieurs reprises. C'est cet énigmatique Docteur, seul rescapé de la destruction de la planète Gallifrey, dernier Seigneur du Temps, que Rose, vendeuse de lingerie fine dans un grand magasin londonien, décide de suivre dans ses missions périlleuses. Après une brève hésitation, elle accepte de partir avec le Docteur pour de nouvelles aventures, toujours aussi surprenantes, qui se déroulent hier, aujourd'hui, demain, ici, là-bas, ailleurs... Quelque part dans l'univers... "Doctor Who" est un véritable institution en Grande-Bretagne, à l'image de la série "Le Prisonnier" ou encore de "Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir". Créé en 1963 par Sydney Newman, "Doctor Who" est la série de science-fiction la plus longue de l'histoire de la télévision britannique avec plus de six cents épisodes et deux films de cinéma. Rough English translation as follows. Note: in French, the title of "The Avengers" is literally translated to "Bowler Hat & Leather Boots"! Doctor Who is seemingly a dynamic man, courageous and funny. A quite ordinary man, except that he travels space and time aboard his vessel, the TARDIS, solving all sorts of problems, fighting monsters each more hideous and Machiavellian than the last, and in the process saving the Earth multiple times. This is the enigmatic Doctor, the only survivor of the destruction of planet Gallifrey, the last Lord of Time, while Rose, selling lingerie in a London department store, decides to follow in his dangerous missions. After a brief hesitation, she agrees to go with the Doctor for new adventures, always surprising, which take place yesterday, today, tomorrow, here, there, elsewhere... Anywhere in the universe... "Doctor Who" is a veritable institution in Great Britain, similar to "The Prisoner" or "The Avengers". Created in 1963 by Sydney Newman, "Doctor Who" is the longest sci-fi series in the history of British television with over six hundred episodes and two movies.

As stock of the original "TARDIS box" packaging sold out, they were replaced with this slimmer Digipak-style wallet, similar to the US release.

Original English audio is used throughout, with a choice of Cantonese or English subtitles. The packaging states "For sale in Hong Kong and Macau only". Cover blurb: (The back cover contains text in both Chinese and English. The English text is as follows) Christopher Eccleston's Doctor is wise and funny, cheeky and brave. An alien and a loner (it's difficult keeping up with friends when your day job involves flitting through time and space), his detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world's in danger. But when it comes to human relationships, he can be found wanting. That's why he needs new assistant Rose. Rose is a shop-girl from the present day. From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose are soulmates. They understand and complement each other. As they travel together through time, encountering new adversaries, the Doctor shows her things beyond imagination. She starts out as an innocent, unfettered by worldly concerns. But she ends up an adventurer who, by the end of the series, can never go home again...
