The article discusses the challenges faced by newcomers wanting to watch Doctor Who, highlighting how the series' long history complicates entry points. The 2005 reboot adds to the confusion with 15 seasons to catch up on before the new season premieres. Instead, it suggests that 'The Eleventh Hour,' the premiere of Season 5 with Matt Smith and Steven Moffat, is the best starting point. This episode successfully introduces a new Doctor while honoring the series' legacy, making it accessible for potential fans.
"'The Eleventh Hour' had to prove that both Moffat and Smith understood the ins and outs of this iconic series, while also presenting a new version of the title character for fans' approval."
"You can't tell them to start from the show's very beginning in 1963 because those episodes barely resemble the Doctor Who of today."
