This was one hell of a year for doctor who fans, a little slow as there was no full series but we have had some great stories in each of the episodes over 2009. The end of time was a fantastic feature length episode with a brilliant story, ending the series very well, David Tennant will surely be missed as he was a fine actor but from the look of things Matt Smith fits in quite well and should lead us into some quality new stories as the new born timelord! And from the looks of the trailer for next year even the Daleks set to return, I for one cant wait and will certainly be ordering this box set of the specials as must you!!
they are very graet episodes with lots of greatspecial features like dr who confidential dr who at comic con 09 david tennant diaries the final days deleated scenes introduced by russel t davis and lots more and the coverof the box is very nicely down and the episode guide has some good still shots and its foreword by David Tennant

Well what can I say other than wow. The specials just got better and better, and those final words of the 10th Doctor 'I don't wanna go' will stay with us forever. Anyway here are my ratings for the 5 specials...
1) The Next Doctor : 2/5
2) Planet of the Dead : 3.5/5
3) Waters of Mars : 4/5
4) End of Time Part 1 : 4.5/5
5) End of Time Part 2 : 5/5
Just a quick review to try and sort out a few mistakes by at least one of the reviews on here, this is in fact all the specials, as we did not have a season 5 in 2009 the BBC production team classed all the episodes shown post season 4 as specials and this collection has them all. I have dropped one star for the simple reason they could have had more than one episode per disc, I mean who wants to get to a cliff hanger and then dive out of your comfy armchair and put another disc in apart from that a wonderful box set and well worth owning, I have the blu-ray edition and the picture is outstanding and the standard for the previous DVDs has been so high I see no problem with the DVD version, lovely to see the full versions of the Doctor who confidentials and not the mega edited versions that usually escape onto DVD, so sit back and watch the last few episodes of David Tennant with a wee tear in the corner of your eye, you will not be dissapointed with this set, it you have the other season box sets then you will have bought this already, no doctor who collection will be complete without it.
What can you say about the final episodes??? All the episodes are totally outstanding but none more than the last episode 'the end of time part two'. I had a rollercoaster of emotions watching david, from anger to unbelief to total distraught!!! When the dr realises what the 'knock 4 times' is totally heartbreaking,leaving me sobbing into a tissue, however worse was still to come when the 10th and 'my dr' utters his last words!!russell t davies, julie gardner, euros lynn and most of all david tennant thankyou for providing us with the best piece of tv i can ever
remember! TOTALLY OUTSTANDING, Matt Smith good luck x
