Been thinking quite a bit on the Topic of what Doctor Who Episode would be the best one to show to People who have never watched the Series.

Previously my personal Pick has always been the 2006 X-Mas Special "The Runaway Bride" for both Showing some good Action, Humour, Doctor Whoisms and even the Darker theme of the 10th Era, all in a Massively Entertaining Package!

But I'm really curious, what would you Pick to show your Friends?

Look, Blink, The empty child, Partners in crime and a bunch others are some of my favorites. But the proper entry point should be The eleventh hour.

I don’t think any other episodes explains The Doctor better than this. Is not the best episode but by the end you get a sense of who The Doctor is.

I often rewatch that one, I prefer the 10th Doctor but that episode is definitely one of the best.

If not that one, then the actual first one of the reboot.
