The premiere episode "Everything Changes" was written by Russell T Davies and serves to introduce the main characters and roles within the series, using newcomer Gwen as the audience surrogate in a similar style to the introduction of the companion characters in Doctor Who. The second episode, titled "Day One", aired immediately after the first. It continues Gwen's neophyte role and includes a classic "sex monster" science fiction storyline[63] in the vein of The Outer Limits episode "Caught in the Act" and Angel's second episode "Lonely Hearts". The first 13-episode series ended with a two-parter on 1 January 2007. The first part, entitled "Captain Jack Harkness", is a love story set in wartime Britain, with a subplot which serves to push the setting towards an "apocalypse" for series finale "End of Days". It deals with the ramifications of diseases and persons from throughout history falling through time and across the universe to arrive in the present day, and particularly in Cardiff. The episode also sets up Jack's return in the Doctor Who episode "Utopia".
I don't want to go.
No, Eccleston was the brand new Doctor in 2005 when the BBC relaunched it, but despite being perfect in the role, he decided he didn't want to be typecast and stepped down. Tenant has now done three series plus specials and three or so in the pipeline, but the next full series will be with Matt Smith.Early 90s? That could have been the film with Paul McGann which bore very little resemblance to the series! If that's all you've seen so far you're in for a treat...
