Blu-ray

While the special celebratory episode of the BBC's hit sci-fi series is a resounding success, the same thing cannot be said of the Blu-ray itself. Our biggest complaint is that both the 2D and 3D versions have been converted from 1080i50 to 1080p24 for this release. While this was mandatory for the 3D version, the 2D incarnation should have been left as it was shot, due to the slowdown issues that result from the conversion process. Additionally, while this Blu-ray offers up a fair batch of extras (including The Last Day and The Night of the Doctor 'mini-sodes') it's not quite as comprehensive as fans might have hoped. Fingers-crossed that the BBC revisits it as part of the innevitable Series Eight boxset.
