Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited 5-8 (2013)

Four More 50th Anniversary Specials!
2013 is the 50th Anniversary of "Doctor Who". This set of 50th Anniversary Specials covers the 5th through the 8th Doctors. The Specials for the first four doctors were issued July 2013, in a set titled:
Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited 1-4.
In December 2013, the last set will be released:
Doctor Who: Doctors Revisited - Ninth to Eleventh

"Revisted 5-8" has 4 discs. Each Doctor has a celebratory documentary/Special looking back on his tenure. There are interviews, photos and clips from various series. For Doctors 5-7, each special is followed by a favorite series for that Doctor. Doctor #8 had only one show. The Colin Baker selection, "Vengeance on Varos", is one of my top 10 Classic Doctor Who stories. In addition to being a good science fiction story, it comments on the human condition - Are we are no different...

Retrospectives Of Each Era, Not Rehashes
The primary,new content of these Doctors "revisited" pieces is comprised of interviews with the actors and others involved with or reflecting on each particular Doctor's era. Thanks to C.D. who gave me a heads up that each retrospective also contains a complete episode from the featured Doctor's era. I had initially thought that just clips from episodes were present.

Get a Taste of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors
BCC's Doctor Who is celebrating its 50th anniversary next month with the special "The Day of the Doctor," but before then you can experience the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth doctors with today's release of Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited: Fifth - Eighth, starring Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann in four exciting adventures, Earthshock, Vengeance on Varos, Remembrance of the Daleks, and Doctor Who - The Movie, on four discs.

Earthshock aired in March 1982 and has the Doctor (played by Peter Davison) and his companions (Adric, Nyssa or Tegan) arriving on Earth in the future. They explore a few caves and run into Lieutenant Scott and his men, who claim the Doctor and companions killed Professor Kyle's exploration team. The Doctor convinces Scott that they didn't have anything to do with Kyle's disappearance and offers his assistance to help with the search, leading the Doctor to come face to face with the Cybermen.
