Cool

Just start with the series with Christopher ecclestone- I've never watched ones beforehand but it was made so that it would still make sense :) that way there's not as many series to catch up on

That's what I did too.
I'm trying to find some of the original series too tho, but that's hard in SA

All you need to do to understand the doctor is watch the first season.

First season of the revived series*
