Doctor Who: The Complete Fifth Series Blu-ray, NTSC, 6-Disc Set

Blu-ray in NTSC format brings Doctor Who: The Complete Fifth Series together as a six-disc set. The collection follows Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, beginning with the Doctor’s regeneration and a damaged TARDIS.

Across 10 hours and 55 minutes, the Doctor and Amy travel through a season of science-fiction and fantasy adventures. Their journey takes in alien plots, familiar enemies and strange new creatures.

English audio in Dolby Digital 5.1 accompanies the episodes, while a Parental Guidance (PG) rating helps viewers make an informed choice for family viewing.

What to know

This Blu-ray set collects the complete fifth series in one place, with six discs for watching the season over time or returning to favourite episodes. The story starts when the newly regenerated Doctor meets young Amy Pond and promises to take her among the stars. Before they can set off, they must divert an alien plot that threatens Earth. Their travels bring them into contact with the Daleks, alien vampires, humanoid reptiles, the Weeping Angels and a silent menace that follows them.

The set also includes bonus material that adds context beyond the episodes. “Meanwhile in the TARDIS” presents newly filmed scenes written by Steven Moffat, while “Doctor Who Confidential” offers an inside look at each episode. Monster Files explores the Doctor’s opponents, and the extras also include in-vision commentaries, outtakes and video diaries. That mix makes the collection useful both for following the season’s story and for spending more time with its characters, creatures and production details.

Tips for day-to-day use

The six-disc format gives viewers a straightforward way to pace the season across multiple viewing sessions. Keep the discs together with the set so it is easy to pick up where the story left off. The listed format is Blu-ray, NTSC, and the audio is English Dolby Digital 5.1, these details are useful when choosing a set for an existing home viewing setup.

For a shared viewing session, the PG rating provides a helpful content guide, and the season’s mix of the Doctor’s adventures with Amy makes it easy to follow the central pairing from their first meeting. The bonus features offer another way to revisit the collection after the episodes, with commentary, behind-the-scenes material and outtakes included among the extras.

Best use cases

This set suits Doctor Who viewers looking to watch the Eleventh Doctor’s fifth series as a complete collection rather than gathering episodes individually. Its season-long format keeps the story’s progression—from the Doctor’s meeting with Amy to their travels among new and returning threats—in one set. It also works well for viewers who enjoy moving between episodes and companion features, since the included extras cover episode insights, monsters, commentaries and video diaries.

A practical evening might begin with an episode and continue with one of the related “Doctor Who Confidential” features or an in-vision commentary. For fans introducing someone to this Doctor and companion, starting at the season’s opening gives their partnership and the unfolding adventures room to develop.

It brings Matt Smith’s first season as the Eleventh Doctor and Karen Gillan’s Amy Pond together in a single set, making it a fitting pick for a focused Doctor Who rewatch or for adding this chapter of the series to a home collection.
