If you liked Blink as a first entry into Dr. Who, a good next one might be “Rose”.

That was the one that… well not rebooted, but let’s say resurrected the show. As such, it has a lot of introduction elements to it. New doc, more modern look than the original shows…

Plus Billie Piper isn’t entirely unfortunately looking (which is how my wife tricked me into it)

The CGI in it is particularly dire, though.

The Eccleston season was fairly lousy on a visual note, in general, aside from the cast’s general attractiveness level.
