One of the most often seen reactions from a spouse or significant other is one of sheer and utter boredom. Quite understandably for a non fan, older episodes of Doctor Who can seem slow and listless compared to their modern day counterparts.

During the classic Doctor Who era, stories would often take several episodes to reach a conclusion, so viewing one story can often take upwards of an hour. This can lead to a listless or bored nature in someone who just wanted a quick taste of vintage Doctor Who.

Because of this, it's especially important that you choose a fast paced, engaging episode to show to your significant other. An all time fan favourite is sure to please and, even if they don't immediately take to it, it's no harm done!
