As the series opener, it truly throws you in the deep of end of how wacky this show can be. But it also reminds me how much I love the show. Eccleston is charming straight off the bat and his chemistry with Billie Piper is magnetic. There’s such a strong sense of character between everyone from Rose’s composed curiosity to Mickey’s boyishness to Jackie’s flirtation and obliviousness to the Doctor’s stoic caring. Well-paced to boot, definitely a fun opener and what would usher in another twenty years of Doctor Who.
