An excellent series that got me hooked from the first episode I saw, with earlier episodes restored in HD, though the S1-S11 lacks the inclusion of either of the movies. It also lacks any titles in the listings, so unless you know the title of all 217 episodes or have Google to hand then it might take you a bit of time to find your favourite episode. Also the true 10th Season was actually released in comic-book form with the series between S9 and S11 being known as "The Event Series", which TES and S11 retcons certain events, (it's for those reasons I drop it 2 stars).

Fantastic show but as many others here have said the pricing is absurd. The show is over 20 years old yet it costs £80 to buy the full thing. It's digital too. I could buy a pyhiscal box set for £22 from a local dvd store. So it's not worth it. Might as well buy a physical box set or even watch for free online. =/

Google - really clean up your prices... You have the best search engine to find the cheapest product. Yet you do not understand how to use it your self. What a disappointment - it's like asking the guru a question and when he gives you the answer to what to do he can offer a fix for 7 times the price he just told you to go to the other side of the road to get. Well done Google - I am still disappointed and it reflects bad on your own search engine as you do not use your knowledge sufficiently!
