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.

Note:  Exact release date unknown. As stock of the original "TARDIS box" packaging sold out, they were replaced with this slimmer Digipak-style wallet, similar to the US release. This change is believed to have been driven by complaints from fans & retailers, who found the original packaging design too bulky and flimsy.

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...

Cover blurb:
The following is the Swedish text from the back cover. If there are any Swedish speakers in the audience, please send me a translation!

Den prisbelönade skådespelaren Christopher Eccleston har axlat rollen som den nionde doktorn från yttre rymden. Han är en modig ensamvarg med sinne för humor och enastående finurlighet. Doktorns kamp mot onda rymdvarelser tar honom och hans följeslagare Rose på resor genom tid och rum. Rose är en ung tjej från nutida London som fram till sitt möte med doktorn genomlider en trist vardag som butiksbiträde. Från allra första stund inser Rose och doktorn att de är själsfränder. Utan att tveka överger hon sitt jordeliv för doktorns löfte om fantastiska äventyr över hela universum.

Tillsammans hindrar de rymdvarelser från att ta över jorden, de bevittnar jordens undergång flera miljoner år fram i tiden, de möter Charles Dickens och Rose får chansen att återse sin döde far. Men när doktorn ställs ansikte mot ansikte med den fiende som han sedan länge trott var besegrad, hotas både Rose och hela mänskligheten av förintelse. Kommer doktorn att kunna stoppa sin mest fruktade fiende — Dalekerna?
