Been thinking quite a bit on the Topic of what Doctor Who Episode would be the best one to show to People who have never watched the Series.
Previously my personal Pick has always been the 2006 X-Mas Special “The Runaway Bride” for both Showing some good Action, Humour, Doctor Whoisms and even the Darker theme of the 10th Era, all in a Massively Entertaining Package!
But I’m really curious, what would you Pick to show your Friends?
bells of st john because im biased and that was my first one too also any ace/seven just because they’re amazing
Look, Blink, The empty child, Partners in crime and a bunch others are some of my favorites. But the proper entry point should be The eleventh hour.
I don’t think any other episodes explains The Doctor better than this. Is not the best episode but by the end you get a sense of who The Doctor is.
I often rewatch that one, I prefer the 10th Doctor but that episode is definitely one of the best.
If not that one, then the actual first one of the reboot.
Possibly controversially: Blink.
It’s one of the best ever episodes. It doesn’t involve timelord-sonic-magic or the TARDIS and is located on earth.
It’s similar to the way Iain M. Banks wrote his first Culture novel from the perspective of an outsider and their situation.
Controversially? It’s basically always on the top of these kind of recommendations
And i personally got a couple people into doctor who with this episode. Definitely a good start
the first Matt Smith episode shows a good example of what the Doctor is about
Blink
The Family of Blood
The Empty Child
The Girl in the FireplaceI would try to find the old Doctor Who episode where they land on a marshmallow world and, like, at the end, the marshmallow world melts because it’s made out of marshmallow.
Keys of Marinus
Edge of Destruction. You can’t beat the best TARDIS-based adventure.
I think the start of series 10 is a good way to discover what it’s about and can do 🤔
But I’ll try it with a friend who heard of Dr Who but never watched and find out if it actually is a good starter.
Big fan of Burn With Me
The one with daleks doing butt stuff.
