I'm nearly 50.
I watched the first ever episode of Doctor Who when it was first shown.
That story (Empty Child / Doctor Dances) is not just the best Doctor Who story I've ever seen - but I'll stick my neck out and say I think it's the best TV I've ever seen.
Absolute brilliance.
Superb script - funny, scary, clever, surprising. Excellent performances. What a superb series. And this was the highest point among many high points.

I think you're right. I laughed, I cried, I fell in love with all three of them. And wanted it never to end.
One of the tv mags mentioned a scene where CJ was "nude" - I didn't see that scene (not that I'd want to!), or was it so traumatic I've blocked it out ?

Jim, we're of the same age. Doctor Who has never been as good as this! The old series whilst good at the time just cannot compete with what we're seeing now.
It has to be said that entertainment of that calibre justifies the licence fee.. Well done BBC and all production staff, crew and the damned good perfomances of the cast....
