Therefore, if you want to start with the older material, I'd suggest starting with the Third Doctor. More than one person who has been willing to put up with the cheesy dialog and poor acting/effects has had the fact that several episodes are missing (except for often poor-quality audio) as the straw that broke the camel's back. The only reason we have any of the old Doctor Who episodes is a hodgepodge of BBC misfiling, overseas broadcasts, fan 'taping' of various forms (mostly audio or using video cameras, typically poor quality). This policy was only changed with the advent of VHS technology. At that point, the shows became useless to the BBC, which preferred to wipe and re-use the (moderately expensive at the time) tapes. Many of the earliest episodes are missing.Įssentially, due to the British laws around copyright and broadcast rights, TV shows couldn't be rerun after a certain amount of time. DO NOT do this, it has spoiled several people who could have otherwise been big fans. The other 'obvious' place to start is the first episode of the first Doctor. The best way to start watching the Doctor is definitely the 2005 series. However, if you can deal with that, and enjoy the modern series, then I'd highly recommend checking out some of the classic series as well. I'd agree with other commenters, though, that the modern reboot is a lot easier to get into than the classic series, as the classic series is a bit dated in places, and the low budget special effects are often a bit corny. ![]() On top of this some of the 2nd Doctor's stories are well worth watching specifically the early Cybermen stories like Tomb of the Cybermen, and the 2nd Doctor's final story, War Games. ![]() The 4th Doctor's Genesis of the Daleks is a fantastic story, and introduced a recurring villain (who appears in the modern series), and the 3rd Doctor's Master storyline introduced the character (who also appears in the modern series), so is well worth checking out. ![]() However, if you subsequently wish to watch some of the more "landmark" classic episodes, I'd suggest you go for 2nd, 3rd or 4th doctor stories first specifically those involving the Daleks or the Cybermen. In addition, if you're enjoying the modern Doctor Who series, I'd recommend watching Torchwood as well preferably in the sequence it aired, as there are tie-ins with Doctor Who. Plus once you're caught up, you can easily watch the new episodes as they're released. It's both easier to get a hold of, and more modern. As a TOTAL beginner, I'd suggest you start with the 2005 reboot, and watch them in the order they aired. ![]()
