this series have come a long way since the it debut in the early sixty . who could have know it would still keep go strong , fresh and vigorous into the 21st century ? it alsmost do not . not until a wonderful man by the name Russell T. Davies take the helm of the new project and infuse it with all the wonder , wit and flamboyant eccentricity of the early series . Series 1 of the new Doctor who show that the series could keep its essence and original storytelling without be overwhelm by modern special effect - which be sorely need , though . it also cast some wonderful character to carry the torth . Christopher Eccleston 's Doctor will go down in the annals of who history as the `` Golden Age '' of of the new Doctor who . when he leave at the end of series 1 , David Tennant , who take on the role have some pretty big clog to fill . fortunately , Tennant 's Doctor be as energetic and powerful as Eccleston 's while remain very different . he doctor seem reminiscent of the olde Tom Baker era , and the story he character get into often exude the horror of the Patrick Troughton early year . doctor who be always best when it be scary , something the orginal series seem to drop towards the end in favor of tell story that be just `` weird '' . fortunately the new series know how to exploit its deeper root and bring some incredibly hair-raising moment . Werewolves , Cybermen , and tv 's that suck people 's face off . also , the story be well write , not just rest a cruch of cheap thrill . each story seem to have something intelligent and move to say , something that separate Doctor who from be just a `` Kid 's show '' to something everyone can enjoy . I , for one , be strangely attractd to what be probably the most bizarre episode of series 2 -lrb- nay , the whole series -rrb- , `` love and monster '' . although not tell from the doctor or Rose 's perspective , the intrigue , emotion and charismatic branding of the series be all package neatly into it . it be as bizzare as it be move . but I will not dare spoil it for any of you because it be a epidode , I believe , that be mean to surprise you becuase of its `` uniqueness '' . overall , series 2 have do a fanastic job of open the world of who to old and young alike . for I , someone who come from the fandom of the classic series , I feel like I be rediscover my love of the show without have to relearn it . for my friend , who scarcely glance at the old series , its ageless fun and intellegence -lrb- not to mention update special effect -rrb- have draw they in as well . you be in for quite the romp !
