By MICHAEL GILTZ Doctor Who: The Complete First Series ***'/, BBC Video. $99.98 THE cult classic BBC show about a time-traveling Time Lord (Christopher Eccleston) gets a terrific reboot in this new series.</p><p> The Doctor sur­ vives yet another sidekick and the return of the Daleks - plus. there are even decent special effects. (The original was wonderfully cheap and cheesy.) Loads of extras include a good making-of.</p><p> Too expensive, though.</p><p> The Ubertine *'/, Weinstein. $28.95 WHY do handsome movie stars love to make themselves look as ugly as possible? Sure­ ly Johnny Depp would have been more effective in this turgid period drama if he'd wallowed in his prettiness.</p><p> Sometimes quirkiness works (as in "Pirates of the Caribbean") and sometimes it's a train wreck (as it is here).</p><p> Modest extras include a director commentary.</p><p> Charlie's Angels: Third Season ** Sony, $49.95 WHAT better way to cele­ brate the passing of TV leg­ end Aaron Spelling than to dive into the silly pleasures of "Charlie's Angels"? Season Three includes episodes with fallen angel Farrah Fawcett. plus Cheryl Ladd wrestling an alligator, a somewhat Sapphic spa, and guest stars like Dean Martin and Jamie Lee Curtis.</p><p> Jiggle TV was never better.</p><p> The Matador *'/, Miramax. $28._95 __ _ PIERCE Brosnan has fun tweaking his James Bond image playing a washed-up assassin for hire.</p><p> But he did it better in "The Tailor of Pana­ ma." Greg Kinnear is too con~ vincingly boring as a bland suburban salesman .</p><p> And the big twist at the end makes absolutely no sense.</p><p> Extras include deleted scenes and commentary from the actors.</p><p> VI C '" Co ~ '" '< "C ~ g 3
