Meet the Three Doctors
Before we dive into the box sets, let’s quickly meet the Doctors featured. Think of Doctor Who like a long-running TV show where the main character can "regenerate" into a new actor every few years — same character, new face and personality.
| Doctor | Actor | Era Nickname | Seasons Covered |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11th Doctor | Matt Smith | "The Matt Smith Years" | Series 5–7 (2010–2013) |
| 12th Doctor | Peter Capaldi | "The Peter Capaldi Years" | Series 8–10 (2014–2017) |
| 13th Doctor | Jodie Whittaker | "The Jodie Whittaker Years" | Series 11–13 + 2022 specials (2018–2022) |
What’s Inside Each Box Set?
Each collection is designed as a complete "era in a box" — everything that Doctor appeared in during their time on the show, all in one place.

Want to Complete the Whole Modern Era?
These three sets cover Doctors 11, 12, and 13. But the modern show (called "New Who" by fans) started in 2005 with two earlier Doctors:
| Doctor | Actor | Collection Name | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9th Doctor | Christopher Eccleston | Complete First Series | Only 1 season (2005) — the show’s revival! |
| 10th Doctor | David Tennant | Complete Collection | Series 2–4 + specials (2005–2010) — many fans’ favorite era |
Pro Tip: Grab all five box sets (9th through 13th Doctors) and you’ll own the entire modern era of Doctor Who (2005–2022) on Blu-ray.
A Personal Note from the Author
"I genuinely think the vast majority of Doctor Who from its revival in 2005, all the way up to Whittaker’s departure in 2022, are wonderful television. My favorites will always remain the Smith and Capaldi eras, with a special place in my heart for Eccleston being my first Doctor, and Tennant for making the show reach so many more hearts across the world."
— Robert Anderson, IGN Senior Commerce Editor (and lifelong Doctor Who fan)
Robert also mentions he’s planning a big rewatch — and these box sets are arriving at the perfect time. He’s even considering dipping into Classic Who (the original 1963–1989 series) box sets while he waits!
What’s Next for Doctor Who?
The show is currently in a transition period. The BBC has put the series up for "competitive tender" — meaning they’re looking for a new production partner (the Disney+ partnership has ended). There’s even talk of Hollywood screenwriter Dean Devlin (Stargate, Independence Day) expressing interest in rebooting the show.
Hope for the future: A new Christmas special is confirmed for 2026, and fans are hopeful the show comes "back better than ever" with a fresh creative team.

FAQ
Do I need a Blu-ray player to watch these?
Yes. These are Blu-ray discs, not DVDs or digital codes. You’ll need a Blu-ray player, a PlayStation/Xbox, or a PC with a Blu-ray drive. They won’t work in a standard DVD player.
Are these region-locked?
Most Amazon US listings are Region A/1 (Americas, Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea). If you’re outside those regions, check the product page for region info before ordering.
Do the sets include the 60th anniversary specials (2023) with David Tennant and Catherine Tate?
No. Those specials (starring the 14th Doctor, David Tennant returning) are not part of these sets. These box sets end with each Doctor’s regeneration — the 60th specials are a separate era.
What are "Series" vs. "Seasons"?
In the UK (where Doctor Who is made), they say "Series" — in the US, we usually say "Season." They mean the same thing. Series 5 = Season 5, etc.
Can I cancel my preorder if I change my mind?
Yes! Amazon lets you cancel preorders anytime before they ship — no charge, no hassle.
