The best Doctor Who episodes for new fans to watch (just in time for the 60th anniversary special on Disney Plus)
Check out the highlights from the long-running show
David Tennant as the Doctor in Doctor Who.

How well do you know Doctor Who? Because if you're a newcomer to the long-running franchise, there's never been a better chance to jump on board the hit sci-fi series. This month, the first of three new Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials will premiere on the show's new streaming home, Disney+. Doctor Who season 14 will follow in 2024. Casual fans may see the "season 14" and instinctually think that the show is too impenetrable to get into. But if hardcore Whovians really wanted to scare off outsiders, we'd point out that the show maintains its continuity all the way back to the original series in 1963. Between the first incarnation of Doctor Who and the current one, there have been almost 900 episodes to date.

Don't worry; you won't have to watch all of them to get on board with the show. You don't even have to watch all 13 seasons of the revival series. That's because Doctor Who has a unique way to reset its status quo every time the leading actor decides that they want to step down. And once you understand it, it's not that difficult to grasp. Now it's time for some Doctor Who 101, as well as the most accessible entry points for new fans.
