Where should someone new to "Doctor Who" start watching?

 If you're new to Doctor Who, there are several great starting points depending on how much background you want and what kind of storytelling you prefer. Here are some recommended entry points:


Best Modern Starting Point (Highly Recommended)


1. Doctor Who (2005) – "Rose" (Season 1, Episode 1)


This episode introduces the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) and companion Rose Tyler. It's a fresh start and a great way to get into the modern era of Doctor Who.


If the first season feels a bit dated, stick with it—things improve significantly with Season 2 and beyond.



Alternative Modern Starting Points


2. "Blink" (Season 3, Episode 10, 2007)


A fan-favorite standalone episode featuring the Weeping Angels.


Doesn't require prior knowledge of the show but gives a taste of Doctor Who's style.



3. "The Eleventh Hour" (Season 5, Episode 1, 2010)


Introduces the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) and new companion Amy Pond.


A great jumping-in point with a fresh start and a more polished feel.



4. "The Pilot" (Season 10, Episode 1, 2017)


Introduces the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and new companion Bill Potts.


Designed to be accessible for new viewers.

If you’re interested in the classic era (1963–1996), here are a few good starting points:


"An Unearthly Child" (1963) – The very first episode.


"Genesis of the Daleks" (1975) – A classic story featuring the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker).
