There are basically 5 reasonable starting points for watching the show: "An Unearthly Child", "Spearhead from Space", "Robot", "Rose", or "The Eleventh Hour".
Pilchard123:
But if you start with the last one on on that list, you'll be coming in very late...
:mrgreen:
Method of Madness:
Relatively speaking, coming in from "Rose" is still very late, but I can't imagine starting earlier.
TinPenguin:
I don't recall where I started with Dr Who, as my first encounters were at a young age and based on which episodes were available on VHS from the library... but some of the earliest I recall watching were William Hartnell's The Keys of Marinus, Jon Pertwee's The Green Death and Tom Baker's The Invasion of Time. These three remain my favourite doctors.
As to the reboot, I started at the start.
Boiled Dove:
By "introductory episode" I did not mean to start and move forward from there. Just that it is a good episode for those who know nothing of Doctor Who. I've seen people get really turned off by the ending of Rose with the references to The Shadow Proclamation and the talking puddle of goo.
"Blink" can pretty well stand on its own and you don't really miss anything if you haven't seen anything before it. It provides a good introduction to the pace of the show without overwhelming the viewer with details about the Who universe. Once people have seen it and the hook is set they are enthused to start at the (modern) beginning, Rose, and go from there.
Now back to the current season.
It is really hard for Doctor Who to go so wrong that I would call it un-enjoyable but this last episode with the star god/ soul sucker thingie just did not do it for me. Add that to the merely enjoyable but underwhelming (mid?) season opener I'm not really feeling it for this season. I like Matt Smith a lot more than I cared for David T but I think it is time for him to move on as well.
