It’s a Dr Who supercut.
I watched the seasons in reverse. So I started at season 10 watched in order and then went to season 9. And so on.
Where would The Runaway Bride go? It’s set in 2006, but they also travel to shortly before Earth is formed.
Also, what about episodes that are set outside of time or entirely within the TARDIS (e.g. Time Crash)? Or when all of time sort of happens at once (e.g. The Big Bang, The Wedding of River Song)?
What about false realities (e.g. Amy’s Choice, Extremis)? Bubble universes (e.g. The Doctor’s Wife, Hide)?
And then there’s the matter of the Doctor and River. Do we go in the Doctor’s order, or in River’s order?
What about cliffhangers and cyclic stories?
Absolutely I’d do this, but I’d need a very large corkboard and about a mile of red yarn to figure out the order.
You would need to start on the middle of the episode where they are at the start of the world and go from there. Can’t do episode by episode but could scene by scene
How do you start watching Doctor Who? Should I watch original series first?
Browse the wikis a bit and find a doctor you like. Watch some episodes from that Doctor until you’re bored. Repeat. You can watch them in any order you like.
Starting with the 2005 reboot is probably easiest and most accessible. Watch for callbacks to previous adventures. If those stories sound interesting dive into the back story.
Everybody has their favorite Doctor. Some like the leather clad skinhead. Some like the guy with the scarf and the Jelly Babies. Some weirdos like the guy with the celery stalk in his pocket. My favorite is the first Doctor. He’s in black and white, he’s witty, he’s grumpy and sometimes mean, and he lies. If you want to know about the origins of the Daleks you’ll need to find his episodes. The library is probably the best place to find these. I think there is always Doctor Who streaming or being broadcast somewhere at practically all times. I’m pretty sure I can search for Doctor Who on Plex and find some random episode streaming at any time.
As others have mentioned, several large chunks of the original series are missing, so be prepared for that disappointment.
No in fact a good chunk of the early episodes are missing. The show changes a lot based on who is playing the Doctor and who the showrunner and head writer are.
Best bet is pick a Doctor and watch the first episode or two. If you don’t like it try another.
Old run Tom Baker and John Pertwee are good choices. Baker had Douglas Adams as head writer for the early seasons and Pertwee has two of the best companions.
Latter original run had a show runner who did not want the job and it shows.
New Who I would recommend trying Christopher Eccleston or Peter Capald. Lots of people love David Tenant but I find him annoyingly hyperactive.
Gotta come to bat for my boy Matt Smith, imo his first episode is the best of any in the modern era
It starts and ends with Tom Baker.
Weird way to spell David Tennant
I appreciate people may have differing opinions regardless of how wrong they may be. Lol
Jokes aside, Tenant is so good. I just grew up with Tom Baker so that’s where my heart is.
