10 PERFECT Places To Start Watching Doctor Who

While Smith and Jones marked the beginning of David Tennant's second series, it's a lot more accessible than his first.

When Tennant took over the TARDIS at the end of Series 1, he also inherited the companion Rose, so as a starting point, new viewers may feel they're being thrown into the middle of a story.

Conversely, Smith and Jones starts with the Tenth Doctor on his own, before meeting new companion Martha Jones. The stories that would follow are a perfect blend of what the show is about, with some of the best historical and future-set adventures in the modern era, as well as the introduction of the iconic Weeping Angels.

There's also a taste of some great Doctor Who baddies, with a two-part Dalek story in the middle of the series, and the shock return of a classic character in the epic three-part finale. No spoilers here! Neither of these stories require prior knowledge, making them an ideal way for new fans to experience some of Doctor Who's most famous villains.

Tennant is a fan-favourite Doctor for a reason, so starting with him is a good way to get hooked!
