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?

It really is great. I got into New Who late, but I'm really glad I started at the beginning (relatively speaking). That first episode does a fantastic job establishing everything you need to know and what to expect, even in The Doctor's very first lines - "Nice to meet you, Rose. Now run for your life!" I was hooked from the start.

I understand Eccleston had a rough time with shooting and had every reason to step away, but I really would have loved even one more season with him.
