What is everyone's first episode of Doctor Who? Mine like many other (probably) was Rose back in 2005 on its broadcast date, never heard of Doctor Who before hand but became a die hard fan for life

After that I don't think I watched any until the cliffhanger of Army of Ghosts... can't remember if I watched Doomsday after that. But maybe that's part of the reason why I've always loved Series 2, because it's where I started watching from.
Following that, I'm pretty sure I became a regular viewer, watching The Runaway Bride and Series 3 as they aired, and catching up on Series 1 and 2. And I've been a fan ever since, haha. It's only this year really that I've become a proper die-hard Whovian though.
My first complete story was "The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang".
I remember rather well thinking "Are those trashcans talking?"
Same with me, that's the earliest story I have clear memories of watching the original broadcast. I have a vague memory of seeing a Cybermen scene (I think from Earthshock part 2) when I was very young.
Turns out I'm just old. Humbug!
Apart from the Pertwee/Baker regeneration a random scene in City Of Death, a Sontaran taking his helmet of in The Sontaran Experiment and the characters of Leela and K9 in general, I have very few recollections of the Tom Baker era even though I watched them all. It was just TV too me I was never an avid soak it all in fan.
My first concious memories of watching entire stories would be around Traken/Logopolis, with Davison's era being the first I remember watching properly.
That was the 1993 repeat season at the time, so it was a breeze getting up to speed with all the classic Doctors then.
Kudos! :cool:
Green Death for me.
This was exactly my only memory of that story ttoo, Tupperware took on a whole new meaning from then on and still makes me think of a disembodied hand!
I was eating cocktail sausages on the day Magnus Greel's wrinkly pink face was revealed too. Put me off cocktail sausages for years!
But my first real episode was Rose in 2005 - I was ten and overjoyed it was more modern than the old one. Watched it right up until The Empty child, but then everyone in my playground started running around screaming 'Are you my mummy?' Freaked me out so I abandoned the show.
Went back to it when I was 14, on the repeats on BBC Three - it was The Sound of Drums. There was nothing else on telly and I reluctantly watched and since then Doctor Who has been my guilty pleasure. (apart from during half of series five and all of six when I literally gave up on the show.)
