However, the blu-ray sets would have commentaries on a few episodes per season, plus various behind-the-scenes videos and inside looks at the making of each episode (particularly in Series 1-6 when the show had a companion show named "Doctor Who Confidential," the behind-the-scenes looks began to get less detailed and shorter after that point). The other thing to consider is if you care about special features at all - the way you describe the DVD sets, I assume it's the recently released "barebones" sets that only include the episodes.
DOCTOR WHO SPECIALS BLU RAY FULL
Every other special is included in a season boxset (with 5 specials being included in a "Complete Specials" boxset, as 2009 has a bunch of specials instead of a full series). If I'm not mistaken, of the 17 specials before the new Doctor, only 3 need to be bought individually (The Day of the Doctor, The Time of the Doctor and Twice Upon a Time). However, you're not exactly right about the "no specials" thing. If you do care about HD, the blu-rays are probably your best bet, as Doctor Who looks good in HD - although it's important to note that only the 2009 specials onwards were filmed in HD, so Series 1 - 4 don't really benefit too much. "Twice Upon a Time" (Blu-ray release of 2017 Christmas special)ĭepends on if you care about watching in HD or not. Series 10 (Blu-ray includes 2016 Christmas special) Series 9 (Blu-ray includes 20 Christmas specials) "The Time of The Doctor" (Blu-ray release of 2013 Christmas special)

"The Day of the Doctor" (Blu-ray release of 2013 50th Anniversary special) Series 7 (Blu-ray includes 20 Christmas specials) Series 6 (Blu-ray includes 2010 Christmas special) Series 4: The Specials (Blu-ray includes 20 Christmas specials, 2009 Easter special, 2009 November special and 2010 New Year's special) Series 4 (DVD includes 2007 Christmas special) Series 3 (DVD includes 2006 Christmas special) Series 2 (DVD includes 2005 Christmas special) Here's the box sets you'll have to buy if you don't get multiple seasons bundled together (I've listed which special episodes you'll need to buy separately and which are included on the season box sets): If you would rather watch stuff in HD than SD, buy the 2009 specials and Series 5 onward on Blu-ray.

DOCTOR WHO SPECIALS BLU RAY MOVIE
If you normally don't care whether a movie you watch is in standard definition or high definition, go for the DVDs and save some money.

The Steelbook features bespoke artwork created by illustrator Tom Webster.Series 1-4 were shot in standard definition video, so the Blu-rays for those will not be much of a difference from DVD quality.
