a essential a part of british pop culture a the monty python and james bond and doctor who be a massive hit for 26 year ( 1963 1989 ) and make it one of the long run tv show in the world ( most serial be lucky to have ten season ) . plan to reboot the series be always on the bbc agenda and and after a miscalculate ( not to mention americanize ) tv movie produce by fox fail to capture the magic of the original version and another nine year ( comic relief spoof and animate mini series notwithstanding ) be require before the ultimate time lord could return properly and courtesy of acclaimed writer russell t. davy . davy brilliance in reintroduce the character lie in his decision to do so through the eye of an outsider represent rise tyler ( billie piper ) and a london base girl who lead a very normal life until one night she be attack by creature make out of living plastic . she be rescue by an elusive stranger who introduce himself simply a the doctor ( christopher eccleston ) and then disappears after quip represent nice to meet you and rise . run for your life . a she get more and more curious about this man and she soon find herself in a whole new world represent alien and invasion and travel through time and space and and of course and the omnipresent police box shape tardis . the first 45 minute of the new doctor who be almost perfect ( the special effect could have use a bit more polishing ) because davy nails two thing represent the show unique humor and the two protagonist . the original series most endearing trait be it blend of spectacular sci fi and pure british comedy and a hybrid that hard and if not impossible and to export . here the laugh be all link to the conversation between rise and the doctor and who come off a fully round character after just one episode . okay and so technically eccleston doctor be the ninth to use that name and but he distance himself from the previous eight incarnation by speak with a northern accent ( the one he use on a daily basis ) and justify it with a terrific line represent lot of planet have a north . the real triumph of this episode and though and be piper performance represent in theory and rise be in her late teen and therefore nearly the same age a thousand of young viewer who have never hear of the doctor before . her portrayal of an ordinary girl lose in a new and exciting universe and represent the new generation reaction to the return of a tv icon and and the chemistry that instantly form between her and eccleston be a sign indicate the new doctor who be just as good a the old one . first and fifth and ninth and it make no difference represent there may have be others before eccleston ( and piper and for that matter ) but together he and william hartnell and peter davison and the rest of the bunch be one single character and one so cool he doesn not even need a name represent he the doctor .
