Doctor Who: Peter Davison Complete Season Two Blu-ray, 9-Disc Set
Product description
For a classic science-fiction evening, this nine-disc Blu-ray set brings Peter Davison’s Fifth Doctor adventures together in one home collection. The stories feature Nyssa, Tegan and Turlough alongside returning friends and familiar adversaries. Choose this set for a season-spanning collection with remastered episodes and bonus material, rather than a single-story Blu-ray.
Technical overview
The collection presents seven stories from Doctor Who’s 20th season, originally broadcast in 1983, with Davison as the Fifth Doctor. The adventures range from encounters with Omega and the Mara to a story celebrating the programme’s twentieth anniversary, bringing several parts of the series’ history into one viewing run. Episodes have been remastered from the best available sources, with original film elements used for The Five Doctors.
- Format: Blu-ray
- Number of discs: 9

- Language: English
- Genre: Science fiction
- Stories: Arc of Infinity, Snakedance, Mawdryn Undead, Terminus, Enlightenment, The King’s Demons and The Five Doctors
The set also includes bonus material. Buyers particularly highlight the behind-the-scenes content and other extras as enjoyable additions, making the discs appealing for viewers who like to explore how a classic series was made as well as watch the episodes. The mix of standalone adventures and returning characters gives the collection a broader feel than a release focused on one story.
Everyday use
This set suits a planned rewatch, a Doctor Who collection, or an evening when you want several classic adventures ready to choose from. For example, you can watch one story at a time and return later, or follow the Fifth Doctor’s season as a longer viewing project. Its nine-disc format gathers the listed stories and extras in a single Blu-ray release, while the remastering gives these vintage episodes a presentation prepared from the best available sources.
A single-story disc is a more focused choice when you want one particular adventure. This collection is geared instead toward viewers who want a fuller stretch of Davison’s era, including its anniversary special and a range of returning foes. English-language episodes also make it straightforward to continue a collection in the original language.
How to use it
Play the discs on a Blu-ray player and select a story or bonus feature for your viewing session. The listed runtime is 9 hours and 10 minutes across the collection, so the episodes can be enjoyed in shorter sittings or spread across several evenings. If you are watching with someone new to the Fifth Doctor, the seven-story line-up offers a practical way to sample different adventures before continuing through the wider series.
The bonus features add another viewing option after an episode, especially for fans interested in behind-the-scenes material. Buyers describe these extras as engaging and informative, complementing the stories without replacing them as the main reason to revisit the season.
Final verdict
For viewers building a physical Doctor Who library or returning to Peter Davison’s Fifth Doctor, this nine-disc Blu-ray brings seven 1983 stories, remastered episodes and bonus features into one collection. It is particularly well suited to a multi-evening rewatch or to fans who want the season’s adventures and anniversary story together in a single set.
