Nothing says Christmas like evil robots and time traveling Doctors! Doctor Who returns for his annual Christmas Special in the standalone story The Next Doctor, which is now available for you to own on DVD.

David Tennant continues his incredible tenure as The Doctor, this time venturing back to London in the year 1851. There he encounters some old friends, The Cybermen, and gets the opportunity to meet another version of himself (played by David Morrissey)! But wait… how can there be TWO Doctors? Now the two men must work together to stop the Cybermen from altering history and ruining Christmas (the Christmas part is more important).

We learn the tale of Jackson Lake, a human who tried to stop the Cybermen with a device called an info stamp, which contained information about the Doctor and the Cybermen. Lake's mind is overwhelmed with information and he comes to believe that he himself is The Doctor! With his mind in pieces, he sets out to stop these villains with the help of his companion, a young woman named Rosita. Using the Doctor's memories, he creates the T.A.R.D.I.S ("Tethered Aerial Release Developed In Style"), and the two Doctors plan a way to stop the Cybermen from unleashing their newest creation, The CyberKing!

Special Features:
Doctor Who at the Proms– "Music of the Spheres"- This mini-episode of Doctor Who was created for the Doctor Who Prom event in July of 2008 at the Royal Albert Hall. The Doctor has been working on his own musical composition titled, "Ode to the Universe", which he then conducts with a live symphony orchestra.

Overall:
I've said it once and I will say it again, watching David Tennant as The Doctor is an amazing sight. This is one of David's final stories as the Tenth Doctor, and it is followed by the stand alone story, The Planet of the Dead (now on Blu-ray and DVD). Tennant himself will be stepping down as the Doctor following three more adventures in time and will be replaced by the young Matt Smith. Many believed that David Morrisey would be replacing Tennant based on the trailers and the plot, but as entertaining as Morrisey was, I wouldn't have enjoyed his take on The Doctor on an ongoing basis. If you missed out on this adventure, make sure you catch up before the November release of The Waters of Mars!
