You would need to start on the middle of the episode where they are at the start of the world and go from there. Can’t do episode by episode but could scene by scene

• Cut all the episodes to have snippets that keep the same timeframe, then watch those in order
• If two clips are supposed to be the same time, splitscreen
• TARDIS scenes would make sense to keep before they arrive to their destination. And TARDIS episodes should be kept in the """present"""
• If the time happens all at once, play all the frames of the clip at once. Preferably stretched to be in the background of all the Chronological Dr. Who Marathon™
• False realities and bubble universe should either be split screen or inserted in between the start and end of that part.
• We go in the time's order. We don't care about the love birds.
• If there's a cliff hanger, just play the next chronological clip
• Cyclic story can be split screened.

For the Doctor and River: watch it twice, once for each perspective.

Some of your questions can be answered when the episodes are split which would make the idea even more crazy

skip them all, there's too many anyway

Stitch runaway bride, what about castrovalva?

decade-old spoiler warning:

they also restart the entire universe like a recalcitrant lawn mower several times, which really fucks the timeline.

Is the The Girl Who Died set in Vikings times (700 AD) actually after the Van Gogh episode (1890 AD) because the universe the Vikings exist in is newer than the one van gogh is in, which was destroyed?

One of the biggest perks of pirating junk. I know some services allow its users to create and post collections. It’s fun to find a movie you like and see what user collections that movie was in.

I was thinking about how I miss a good old broadcast with a presenter or VJ to talk to you about what's on in between showings.

Of course! Would mean I'd never have to watch another show again.

Does it make any sense or, you know, work?

Hi Rin

Browse the wikis a bit and find a doctor you like. Watch some episodes from that Doctor until you're bored. Repeat. You can watch them in any order you like.

Starting with the 2005 reboot is probably easiest and most accessible. Watch for callbacks to previous adventures. If those stories sound interesting dive into the back story.

Everybody has their favorite Doctor. Some like the leather clad skinhead. Some like the guy with the scarf and the Jelly Babies. Some weirdos like the guy with the celery stalk in his pocket. My favorite is the first Doctor. He's in black and white, he's witty, he's grumpy and sometimes mean, and he lies. If you want to know about the origins of the Daleks you'll need to find his episodes. The library is probably the best place to find these. I think there is always Doctor Who streaming or being broadcast somewhere at practically all times. I'm pretty sure I can search for Doctor Who on Plex and find some random episode streaming at any time.

As others have mentioned, several large chunks of the original series are missing, so be prepared for that disappointment.

No in fact a good chunk of the early episodes are missing. The show changes a lot based on who is playing the Doctor and who the showrunner and head writer are.

Best bet is pick a Doctor and watch the first episode or two. If you don't like it try another.

Old run Tom Baker and John Pertwee are good choices. Baker had Douglas Adams as head writer for the early seasons and Pertwee has two of the best companions.

Latter original run had a show runner who did not want the job and it shows.

New Who I would recommend trying Christopher Eccleston or Peter Capald. Lots of people love David Tenant but I find him annoyingly hyperactive.

You can pick anywhere and honestly it's fine. Lots of people started with modern Who, so that lines up with the average experience, and there are long-running plot arcs you might stumble over if you don't, but most episodes are fairly self-contained.

Old Who is a different show. Somewhat akin to the original Star Trek, it requires a certain ability to ignore the experience and budget constraints and pick out the charm. But some of the old Doctors remain fan favorites like Tom Baker, the 4th and longest-running generation.

I would suggest watching starting with the 2005 rebirth of the series. They made it expecting you to not have watched the original series.

From then on there is a lot of overlap and continuation, some more subtle than others, so you could just watch one of the doctors, but part of what makes it special is the wealth of possible collisions so you may not need to have seen the reason why such-and-such character perks up when they hear the Doctor coming, but it's what made me appreciate the show.

Look up a list of the top 10 best episodes. Watch those. Take note of which ones you like more, and which actor is playing the doctor in that episode. Use that to pick your favourite doctor. Then watch all the episodes starring your favourite doctor in order.

It very much depends on you. I personally think most people should start with New Who, because it’s much faster paced and The Doctor starts out a lot more likable. I personally started with New Who, then started mixing in Old Who during Capaldi’s first season. Which turned out rather nicely, because early Capaldi actually resembles the First Doctor in many ways, and it was interesting to see how elements of the show unfolded.

For reference, Old Who starts with An Unearthly Child (1963.) New Who starts with Rose (2005.)

To be fair the first season when it returned with rose is just alright and I almost dropped it as well. The next doctor Tenant really did the role justice and peaked the show for many of us.
