That's my point. No one would have seen it coming and there wouldn't have been half as much public leaking and theories about who was replacing him.

In terms of tenure, Tennant and Smith's runs are still nothing compared to Tom. Him leaving must have been a huge shock.

Same with what's his name dying. The first companion to die, Earth SHock, had a star on his vest, the teenager?

Adric. And technically he was the third companion to die, he was just the first one that had been around for a reasonable length of time.

If you're looking, here's what I recommend:

1) Don't buy the new ones yet, unless you really want the episodes or can't find any other versions. Just because they're being released now doesn't mean they're better.

2) Special Editions whenever you can find them. They usually have more bonus features and occasionally more story. Unless you really don't care about the special features. For that, there's the internet

AkibaSilver's recommendations:

First Doctor: An Unearthly Child (The Beginning Box Set)/ The Aztecs

Second Doctor: ... The War Games? Guys, help me out

Third Doctor: Inferno

Fourth Doctor: Logopolis (New Beginnings Box Set)/ The Deadly Assassin

Fifth Doctor: The Five Doctors (20th Anniversary Edition)/ The Caves of Androzani (Revisitations 1 Box Set)

Sixth Doctor: Trial of a Time Lord (Box Set)/ Revelation of the Daleks

Seventh Doctor: The Curse of Fenric

Eighth Doctor: The TV Movie (Revisitations 1 Box Set)

What would you guys recommend?

For Second Doctor one should absolutely have Tomb of the Cybermen. That was a terrific story.

The War Games is great, but I'd recommend the new Ice Warriors DVDs due out soon. I love me some Troughton and I love me some Ice Warriors. Most people, I'd imagine, would go for Tomb of the Cybermen though, which is also an awesome story to be sure.

I thought so. I've just never seen it or heard much about it. The most I've ever seen was a montage on the Proms that aired today

What do you mean by that? The new ones getting released usually ARE the best versions. Unless you mean the stories themselves aren't the best.

My recommendations would be (I shall give non-Dalek recommendations where I can )

1st Doctor: Beginnings Set (Unearthly Child/The Daleks), Dalek Invasion of Earth and the Aztecs

2nd Doctor: Tomb of the Cybermen

3rd Doctor: Anything with the Master in - The Daemons and the Sea Devils are 2 of my favourites

4th Doctor: Genesis of the Daleks, Deadly Assassin, Brain of Morbius

5th Doctor: Caves of Androzani

6th Doctor: Trial of a Timelord

7th Doctor: Remembrance of the Daleks and the Curse of Fenric

8th Doctor: Eh, watch the movie but then go and buy the Big Finish Audios instead. They're better.
