...Well, it had been a long break since the last Doctor Who and bringing it back in the 21st century would always be a risk, but with all the modern special effects tricks available the new series should make interesting viewing.
*The first episode, Rose, sees the doctor (Christopher Eccleston) rescuing Rose (Billie Piper) from the dreaded shop dummies in a department store on their very first meeting.
The Doctor is on Earth hunting down an Alien creature, 'the Nestene', who is in control of all the plastic on earth. then when the shop dummies come alive and begin to attack people in London the Doctor and Rose have to stop the earth being taken over by this thing.
As an opening episode it was well written with an easy to follow story line for the return of the Doctor. The minimal use of special effects making the episode more...

... Doctor Who ? Series One
Who?
If you haven?t heard of doctor who then I have no idea where you?ve been! However this could be due to be obsession with the doctor.

...(Camille Coduri) and her boyfriend Mickey (Noel Clarke). Rose works in a department store in london, and it seems like an averagly boring day for her until she is caught in a mess when the shop dummies come to life! She finds herselve being saved by a mysterious man with a blue box, who goes by the name The Doctor from these creatures! But who is controlling them, and can the Doctor safe everybody else...?
This was the first Series1 episode I saw, though I started to watch Doctor Who from Series 2. I am quite a stubborn person so I was certain I was not going to like Chris Eccleston as the Doctor, but I did! I adore him! This whole episode introduced me to a completely different series from the one I was used to, and made some things clearer too! And now I am terrified of 'autons' and shop window dummies!
