DELETE DELETE DELETE!

I liked the 1st season..then after that when the old cast got replaced and some new girl came in, I got lost and stopped watching then it became more mainstream lol.

I've grown up following the travels of the Doctor (in my 30's now) with my first (and still favorite) Doctor being the 4th. The lore of the series is incredibly deep and interesting. I understand that the older shows can be slow moving and difficult for a newcomer to get into, but if you watch the new series and enjoy it I highly recommend that you go back and give classic Who a try. I still feel like the new companions just can't hold a candle to the ones of yesteryear. Sarah Jane, Romana, Tegan, Harry, Leela, Nyssa, Ace... so many great characters and stories. Except for Adric. Fuck that guy.

it's very shameful indeed
i have started from the new episodes made in 2005 but wanted to watch the older ones too.
but as luck would have it i couldn't find any intact episodes some of the videos in every season are without video and only sound
and the earlier seasons are about 220 gb of data. i did watch most of them but watching without video sucks so i guess u should read a summary about earlier seasons and watch the new seasons.
if you are worried you would miss stuff and don't understand something about in the new series, not to fret ! you can perfectly understand everything with a bit of imagination :)
spoilers : David tennant is the best doctor in new series :)

It goes without saying that Inspector Spacetime is even better.

I know loads of people that love it, but I cant get into the new series no matter how much my partner forces me to watch it. There's too many episodes of "epic" scale now that it just gets a little ridiculous, too many of the same enemies appear in loads of episodes (sick of cybermen!), I dont enjoy the new implied love-interest as it detracts from the mystery of the Dr., and I find too many solutions in episodes are just non-nonsensical gibberish. Each to their own though, others enjoy it so I dont mind my TV licence fee going towards it.

best show ever I am a huge Fanboy Of Doctor Who

this is the greatest and clever serie ever :p and ... the longer one with classic series
always in a fashion way like fez and bowtie
there is also 2-3 spin-off: "The Sarah Jane Adventures" and "Torchwood" (and K-9 but ... hard to find and maybe not very good)

concretely, you can't begin with the classic serie, it's not obvious to find all, it seem there is losts episodes (but some are re-founded and other ar remade, so you can expect see old serie one day)
and also, classic serie began in 1963, it is good but with cheap special effects obviously.
2005 series is the continuation of classic one, but you can see it without know classic serie, you can only miss some references to the classic one, and not very familiar with serie background (doctor's reccurent foes by example)

due to technical gap between 2005 and classic, begin with 2005 serie is a good idea, seeing classic one from begin (1963), is more for people which already to much appreciate the 2005 one.

sorry for my english, i hope you understand me :)

hes the one

there are robots looks like raditors, with almost zero joints and have very little movement capabilities on wheels and have light bulps on it, yet those shitty things still can invade the world, and there is the doctor traveling around in a telephone box disguised as a police box, and he got a magical screwdriver with a little lite bulp on it.

Yep start with the 2k5 series. Season 1 Episode 1 "Rose" you'll be very glad. I advise you avoid Dr. Who Confidential for the first season. Trying to watch that is the reason it took me 4 tries to watch Dr. Who.

I started watching with the 2005 series, and I think that's a good point. I did watch a few older episodes before that, but they didn't appeal to me nearly as much.

Overrated TV show with a sense of humor that only appeals to some, and those some happen to live on the internet so according to the internet it is the best show ever.

The only episodes that matter are the ones with David Tennant.

Heres the tl:dr of the series.
Alien that looks like a human travels around, literal, space and time, in a phone box that is really a spaceship and time-machine. This "Dr.", picks up companions, most often human, to help him save the human world and sometimes the entire galaxy while attempting to remain none violent but often failing.

If you enjoy a sci-fi flick then youll prob enjoy the series.

It's about a human-like alien in an absurd spaceship fighting a galactic war against an ancient race of claptraps, more or less...

To get the gist of what Dr Who is, watch this awesome parody with Rowan Atkinson

Start at series 1 (new series), that's where I started and there aren't really any references to past episodes (before series 1)

You'd be fine starting with the newer ones. The older seasons can be difficult to find complete, and many haven't aged all that well. The new ones are quite good. I'm on season 2 of the new ones. David Tennant makes a glorious and infectious Doctor.

I started at the 2005 ones, and finished after Matt Smiths 2nd season, I never felt I missed anything out at all, so yeah I think that's the perfect place to start. I very much enjoyed the Tennant and Eccleston ones, and I'd suggest trying to get a friend into watching them at the same time as you, it's great fun to talk about an episode you've just watched, trying to guess what's going to happen next or what a certain unexplained element in the episode could mean.

DOCTOR WHO. NOT DR. WHO!

FANTASTIC!

DOCTOR JOHN DORIAN IS THE BEST, LONG LIVE J.D!

thanks for Metro Last Night :D
