The reboot was intended to bring in new people. You can start with Ecclestone (I did), or you pick your Doctor and go.
I'm a completionist, so part of me feels the need to go back and watch OldWho, but each season really can be a starting point.

Really though, starting at Rose is the best. It might be silly but THE FEEELLSSS
enzio64
Go back to the reboot of the series with the 9th Doctor Christopher Eccleston.
Start with the reboot. DON'T start with the original 1960s ones.
To go ALL the way back you would need to make a shit ton of phone calls. The show started on November 23rd, 1963. Just kidding I know what-
you mean. Referencing the other replies to your comment- THE FEEEEELLLS MAN.

it takes a lot to adjust to the next doctor after you've seen him go through SO MUCH. also, billie piper (rose) is a porn star.

No, she's an actor in a show about call girls. There's a difference.
instead of being a dick, why don't you try searching her name on xhamster?
ArcticEwok
She what? Link? Y'know...for geology.
greyhawthorn
For geology? Is that because you're rock-hard?
search for her name on xhamster.com ;)
cuddlewench
Wait, is this for real? Are you sure it's not just a porn double?
Snegurkin
Do not skip Nine though. Even mum calls him "our" Doctor. In the very least you may remember him with fondness.
HillOfBeans
What's up w/ 9? Did he commit an unforgivable act? It's as if he's persona non grata (nearly invisible in 50th anniv fest)
ShockinglyAccurate
Some consider his season to be lackluster because of poor effects and writing. Some episodes were fantastic, others were...baby monsters.
He was a great Doctor in bad circumstances imo, and didn't stay long enough. Word is he had a problem with the people at BBC and wouldn't
continue to be a part of it. He probably wasn't in the 50th for that reason, but I'll admit if he had been there it would've been forced.
To, me that made the effects evolution in the next seasons more enjoyable. I like watching a show 'mature'. I really liked Eccleston too.
You're in for a real journey. Be wary of the first season. The show does move on from farting aliens in man-suits into pure awesome quickly.
theninthmike
Well said.
EveryCommentIs140CharactersExceptMaybeThisOne
am i alone in actually liking the first season? some stories were a little cheesy, sure, but eccleston got everything rolling again and i
feel like he never gets any credit, or just plain gets pooped on.
NoTouch
Hey, I want to get started on doctor who, but im not sure where to start since the first season was around 50 years ago, any ideas?
It was revived in 2005. That's where you should start.
theIdris
I started with season five of the reboot and I wasn't disappointed. Although starting from season one is also a good idea.
Yeah, start with "Nu-Who" in 2005, episode titled "Rose." Another recommended episode to begin with is in Season 3, titled "Blink."
Strax
Start with the empty child for Eccelstein, that 2 part is by far his best.
egumption
Start with 2005's "Rose" then skip to "Dalek." "Rose" is eh but it's the first episode so you have to. "Dalek" is the first good episode.
Redtide
Just start with the episode Rose. This is a great jump off point.
Thanks, which doctor was that with? And how comes its a good starting point?
The ninth doctor, the first episode of the new start for the show. It's campy, but they are all a little campy :)
First season of the rebooted series, but as the Ewok said, the first season is...not as good as the subsequent ones, to say the least.
88mixy
It's better going back to watch it I think, it did take me a bit to get used to 9, though
iLynux
Season 1 was great ): just because the effects were cheesy doesn't mean it didn't have some great episodes. I love Eccleston.
Neither the effects nor Eccleston were the problem. Most of the time it was the writing. (Not that there weren't any good eps there)
I found him annoying and wooden, and Rose even more so. I respect your opinion, I just strongly disagree :P
BorderlineBoozehound
Other historical characters off the top of my head it portrays: Queen Nefertiti, Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie, Madame de Pompadour (1/2)
Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth I, Hitler, Churchill, Nixon and a few others I that can't remember right now. (2/2)

Plough through the first few episodes! It gets better we promise! We've lost many on the farting alien episode. :( BE STRONG. GERONIMO! :D
I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thought that episode was odd!
Or the mannequin one was terrible...

Nighy was the perfect actor to use for that role too. +1 for Dr Who and Pond

That is so not the point! Vincent's important here, not the fucking museum guide.

I also loved Tony Curran! So great as Van Gogh!
GetToTheGate
I want to +1 you for your comment on Nighy and down vote you for mentioning Pond. I'll do neither to make it fair.
Arsnicly
The writer of this episode 'Richard Curtis' (Love Actually and Noting Hill) Almost always has Bill Nighy in his movies.

Amy Pond is the girl in the horror films who, when she hears a noise outside, steps out into the dark and asks "Is someone there?"
I've met KG and she's gorgeous.
No doubt she's a lovely lady. I haven't seen her in anything but DW but I don't mind the actress so much as the writing of the character.

BILL BILL BILL BILL!
NeverMindtheManBehindtheCurtain
I love Bill Nighy. He is great in pretty much anything he does. <3
Only crappy part is they will be less likely to use him for another role in the future... it has happened before though...
wastewanderer
Colin Baker was in an episode before he became the Doctor, so there's always hope.
yes... and even Capaldi (the new doctor) was... but at the same time I don't know if I want Nighy to be the Doctor...
EddardStark
So was Peter Capaldi.
UnexpectedItemInBaggingArea
Karen Gillan and Freema Agyeman too.
certainly 20 years ago he was up to it, but I'd much prefer him to maybe have a role in a special or 2/3 part episode
Did you know he was actually in the running to be the Doctor at one point? I think it was when they were casting the 11th.

Doctor who's a pile of serious and silly. The serious ones don't always play up the silly ones. but it works the opposite too!
things don't always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
Made me think of this: I wouldn't say that. The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good-

I dunno, some of the silly ones are good. I'm not trying to defend "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship", or *shudder* "Love and Monsters".
Oh, I love the silly ones, I just have to agree that the Van Gogh episode makes me tear up a bit, such a good one.
I'm sorry, but IMHO "Love and Monsters" was so silly, it became adorable. The Alien was stupid looking, but the characters were fun...

I really don't like his Sherlock... There! I said it! Phew. Load off my mind.
Dictarium
Moffats 50/50 for me. Sometimes his dialogue is awkward & plotlines contrived and others he delivers amazing episodes I watch over and over.
He may step down eventually. RT Davies only did 4 series himself.
Moffat's a brilliant writer so I don't think it was him.
No, I think what @Dictarium said makes more sense.

I have a pretty high tolerance for stuff like that, but I did end up finding the most recent season kindaaa meh. Capaldi tho.... :)

Yeah...she was so attractive and sassy, I figured I'd grow to like her. She's maintained a solid meh. RorynAmy4E. lol
Yeah and it wasn't even silly. It just wasn't interesting, TBH.

No, she's an actor in a show about call girls. There's a difference.
nation543
instead of being a dick, why don't you try searching her name on xhamster?
ArcticEwok
She what? Link? Y'know...for geology.
greyhawthorn
For geology? Is that because you're rock-hard?
nation543
search for her name on xhamster.com ;)
cuddlewench
Wait, is this for real? Are you sure it's not just a porn double?
Snegurkin
Do not skip Nine though. Even mum calls him "our" Doctor. In the very least you may remember him with fondness.
HillOfBeans
What's up w/ 9? Did he commit an unforgivable act? It's as if he's persona non grata (nearly invisible in 50th anniv fest)
ShockinglyAccurate
Some consider his season to be lackluster because of poor effects and writing. Some episodes were fantastic, others were...baby monsters.
ShockinglyAccurate
He was a great Doctor in bad circumstances imo, and didn't stay long enough. Word is he had a problem with the people at BBC and wouldn't
ShockinglyAccurate
continue to be a part of it. He probably wasn't in the 50th for that reason, but I'll admit if he had been there it would've been forced.
HillOfBeans
To, me that made the effects evolution in the next seasons more enjoyable. I like watching a show 'mature'. I really liked Eccleston too.
ArcticEwok
You're in for a real journey. Be wary of the first season. The show does move on from farting aliens in man-suits into pure awesome quickly.
theninthmike
Well said.
EveryCommentIs140CharactersExceptMaybeThisOne
am i alone in actually liking the first season? some stories were a little cheesy, sure, but eccleston got everything rolling again and i
EveryCommentIs140CharactersExceptMaybeThisOne
feel like he never gets any credit, or just plain gets pooped on.
NoTouch
Hey, I want to get started on doctor who, but im not sure where to start since the first season was around 50 years ago, any ideas?
ArcticEwok
It was revived in 2005. That's where you should start.
theIdris
I started with season five of the reboot and I wasn't disappointed. Although starting from season one is also a good idea.
huanthewolfhound
Yeah, start with "Nu-Who" in 2005, episode titled "Rose." Another recommended episode to begin with is in Season 3, titled "Blink."
Strax
Start with the empty child for Eccelstein, that 2 part is by far his best.
egumption
Start with 2005's "Rose" then skip to "Dalek." "Rose" is eh but it's the first episode so you have to. "Dalek" is the first good episode.
Redtide
Just start with the episode Rose. This is a great jump off point.
NoTouch
Thanks, which doctor was that with? And how comes its a good starting point?
Redtide
The ninth doctor, the first episode of the new start for the show. It's campy, but they are all a little campy :)
greyhawthorn
First season of the rebooted series, but as the Ewok said, the first season is...not as good as the subsequent ones, to say the least.
88mixy
It's better going back to watch it I think, it did take me a bit to get used to 9, though
iLynux
Season 1 was great ): just because the effects were cheesy doesn't mean it didn't have some great episodes. I love Eccleston.
ArcticEwok
Neither the effects nor Eccleston were the problem. Most of the time it was the writing. (Not that there weren't any good eps there)
greyhawthorn
I found him annoying and wooden, and Rose even more so. I respect your opinion, I just strongly disagree :P
BorderlineBoozehound
Other historical characters off the top of my head it portrays: Queen Nefertiti, Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie, Madame de Pompadour (1/2)
BorderlineBoozehound
Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth I, Hitler, Churchill, Nixon and a few others I that can't remember right now. (2/2)
BeardKhan
Hitler huh? I might just watch this show.

Shakespeare!!
LJwoods
Plough through the first few episodes! It gets better we promise! We've lost many on the farting alien episode. :( BE STRONG. GERONIMO! :D
sunnyrunner
I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thought that episode was odd!
LJwoods
Or the mannequin one was terrible...
acairns
Nighy was the perfect actor to use for that role too. +1 for Dr Who and Pond
ithereckless
That is so not the point! Vincent's important here, not the fucking museum guide.
Rindercellaslostshoe
I also loved Tony Curran! So great as Van Gogh!
GetToTheGate
I want to +1 you for your comment on Nighy and down vote you for mentioning Pond. I'll do neither to make it fair.
Arsnicly
The writer of this episode 'Richard Curtis' (Love Actually and Noting Hill) Almost always has Bill Nighy in his movies.
430pm
Capaldi was in the pompeii episode... so who knows
ILikeCoke
So was Amy!
430pm
is she credited? who was she?
ILikeCoke
The girl spying on them.
TheDon850
I hate pond. Hate her. I'm going to be downvoted so bad , but I hate her. I was glad when she died. Although I was sad about Rory.
Idontlikethecolour
Agree. Although on my second viewing of her tenature the hate is less intense. Now I think she's just meh. In some episodes, acceptable.
LJwoods
I agree, BUT SPOILER FUCK YOU.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Spoilers.. bitch
AveryB
Amy Pond is the girl in the horror films who, when she hears a noise outside, steps out into the dark and asks "Is someone there?"
acairns
I've met KG and she's gorgeous.
AveryB
No doubt she's a lovely lady. I haven't seen her in anything but DW but I don't mind the actress so much as the writing of the character.
wolfenbones
BILL BILL BILL BILL!
NeverMindtheManBehindtheCurtain
I love Bill Nighy. He is great in pretty much anything he does. <3
430pm
Only crappy part is they will be less likely to use him for another role in the future... it has happened before though...
wastewanderer
Colin Baker was in an episode before he became the Doctor, so there's always hope.
430pm
yes... and even Capaldi (the new doctor) was... but at the same time I don't know if I want Nighy to be the Doctor...
EddardStark
So was Peter Capaldi.
UnexpectedItemInBaggingArea
Karen Gillan and Freema Agyeman too.
430pm
certainly 20 years ago he was up to it, but I'd much prefer him to maybe have a role in a special or 2/3 part episode
wastewanderer
Did you know he was actually in the running to be the Doctor at one point? I think it was when they were casting the 11th.
drwhoooovian
Every now and then, we get a phenomenal episode like this that make up for the sillier ones.
SaladinIskander
Are you my mummy? muuuuummmmmyyyyy
drwhoooovian
No, but I could be your daddy? Paternity test anyone?
NeedRunes4
Doctor who's a pile of serious and silly. The serious ones don't always play up the silly ones. but it works the opposite too!
drwhoooovian
things don't always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
drwhoooovian
Made me think of this: I wouldn't say that. The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good-

Season 7.2 was really mediocre... I liked the one about the sleeping god or whatever it was. The rest were really lame.
auraaurora
Rings of Ahkten?
bridgebrain
The Rings was a great episode, other than Clara's leaf. Nearly ruined it right there.
NewGuardian2814
Aliens of London! Won't anyone remember ALIENS OF LONDON?!?
bridgebrain
We're all trying desperately not to
drwhoooovian
No, we specifically forget that one to spite you. lol
dlgn
I dunno, some of the silly ones are good. I'm not trying to defend "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship", or *shudder* "Love and Monsters".
drwhoooovian
Oh, I love the silly ones, I just have to agree that the Van Gogh episode makes me tear up a bit, such a good one.
NewGuardian2814
I'm sorry, but IMHO "Love and Monsters" was so silly, it became adorable. The Alien was stupid looking, but the characters were fun...
DalekSupreme
dinosaurs on a spaceship...
HermioneGrangerAndARocketShip
I love the silly ones :(
huanthewolfhound
That wasn't so much about the dinosaurs as it was about David Bradley's character and Nefetiti's awesomeness.
Chionati
the unicorn and the wasp..
iLynux
That one was quite silly.
docrandle
That episode was brilliant.
Chionati
explain yourself pls.
TheMexicanLemon
Agatha Christie.
hyperion51
It's the sillier episodes that made me quit. I hope that the new Doctor can deliver more stories like this one. =/
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
It's Moffat's lame-ass writing.
IGetIrrationallyMadThatSeanBeansNameDoesntRhyme
I really don't like his Sherlock... There! I said it! Phew. Load off my mind.
Dictarium
Moffats 50/50 for me. Sometimes his dialogue is awkward & plotlines contrived and others he delivers amazing episodes I watch over and over.
huanthewolfhound
He may step down eventually. RT Davies only did 4 series himself.
docrandle
Moffat's a brilliant writer so I don't think it was him.
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
No, I think what @Dictarium said makes more sense.
LJwoods
whattaya mean ya quit? QUIT WHAT? DR WHO?!!? WHY?!?!
DirtyHobo
He said: SILLIER EPISODES!!!! (that's why I quit too)
Rookieragequit
You can't just quit the doctor.
DirtyHobo
Yeah u can, just turn it off. Easy

A Norwegian Troll? Would your name happen to be Mustakrakish? (Metalocalypse reference for anyone who is confused)
Rookieragequit
Mustakrakish is finnish. Took him out a looong time ago. He denied me my chocolate. No one denies me my chocolate.
FrequencyPeaces
I have a pretty high tolerance for stuff like that, but I did end up finding the most recent season kindaaa meh. Capaldi tho.... :)
88mixy
LOOOVED Amy and Rory, not a big fan of Clara. I tried to start my bf with the random Clara episode I was on. Big mistake. Now he hates it =(
FrequencyPeaces
Yeah...she was so attractive and sassy, I figured I'd grow to like her. She's maintained a solid meh. RorynAmy4E. lol
iLynux
Yeah and it wasn't even silly. It just wasn't interesting, TBH.
FrequencyPeaces
Yeah I'd mostly agree. I'd get so excited for every episode (after finally catching up from binge watching), but it wasn't til' the (1/2)

season was over I realized how disappointed I was after every episode. -_- (2/2)
