Sometimes people say they want to watch Doctor Who but they don’t know where to begin.
So I’m finally catching up with the most recent season, and I see that the producers have made a deliberate choice to simplify everything, give the Doctor a day job at a university, get rid of most of the supporting cast, and pretty much start over.
And thus I can’t imagine a better place for a new viewer to jump in than the beginning of the season that just came out this year, the one with Peter Capaldi, Matt Lucas, and Pearl Mackie.
Go for it. This is your chance.
