When Doctor Who relaunched in 2005 on the BBC after a failed (but serviceable) Fox US movie/pilot barely a decade earlier, many of us didn’t know what to expect. We didn’t expect Christopher Eccleston, and we certainly didn’t expect Russel T Davies and his eccentric touch, but both rocketed the franchise into a new golden age the likes of which could only have been imagined by fans of the classic series.

Vinnk and Sean, along with guest host Miles (from sister podcast Casual Trek) relive the reboot, ostensibly without the benefit of rose-colored glasses, and not at all influenced by RTD’s return to the remade franchise nearly two decades later in 2023.

Starring:
* Christopher Eccleston – The Doctor
* Billie Piper – Rose Tyler
* John Barrowman – Captain Jack Harkness
* Noel Clarke – Mickey Smith
* Camille Coduri – Jackie Tyler

Available on HBO Max (for now), Amazon, BritBox, and Disney+ (eventually).
