David's performance is fantastic! He's the sort of sociopath I could fall in love with (or just be friends with benefits). <BR/>I would also recommend renting David's films as well.

The boxed sets are terrific, and the sets for seasons two and three have loads of Tennant-y goodness in the extras (his video diaries should not be missed!) While watching individual episodes is a good way to get the flavor of the show, viewing from the very start of season one allows one to see all the lovely themes, arcs, etc that build as the show goes along, and it's also easier to get the jokes/ references later on.<BR/><BR/>Season one also gives you Christopher Eccleston (another big, dorky loveable guy); seasons one and three give you the yummy John Barrowman (who cried when he saw his name in the season 3 opening credits), and season three gives you John Simm (who took the role of the Master to make his five-year-old son happy). There are so many good-looking dorky men in this show that you'll be floating on estrogen clouds for weeks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-12238484657588431262008-04-18T18:17:00.000-05:002008-04-18T18:17:00.000-05:00Wow.

Fab Doctor and all round lovely bloke - People who have met him have nothing but good things to say. And he's a fanboy, which is good. And he looks good in specs. And he has spectacular thighs for a skinny lad.<BR/><BR/>He's good value in everything he does, catch Blackpool and/or Casanova for extra Tennanty goodness. As for Doctor Who, Girl in the fireplace is wonderful, as it a great ep and he looks totally stunning all the way through. Blink is fab and again I can echo the rec's for the two parter Human Nature/Family of Blood - he is quite quite brilliant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-13858966037642983902008-04-18T11:48:00.000-05:002008-04-18T11:48:00.000-05:00I would start at the beginning of season 3; if you...I would start at the beginning of season 3; if you start with season 2, you'll end up just having to backtrack and watch all of season 1 anyway, which is hardly a bad thing, because Christopher Eccleston does a fine job as the Ninth Doctor; it's just that there's too much history between the Doctor and Rose to catch up on. Season 3 lets you start more or less with a clean slate. <BR/><BR/>Just also wanted to make a note that not one, but TWO Nerd Men of the Month are celebrating birthdays today - Tennant and Conan!

If you're new to the series, I'd say watch either the 2006 Christmas special, the Runaway Bride, or the S3 premier, Smith and Jones. Both episodes are great fun, and give relevant background for new viewers (as well as plenty of Doctor love).<BR/><BR/>Blink is an incredible episode, but has entirely too little Tennant, IMO.

Aside from series three's "Blink", he wrote "The Girl in the Fireplace" which someone has mentioned. <BR/><BR/>I'd say start from the first episode of series two anyway, though and work your way through. Girl in the Fireplace is, I think the fourth episode so you don't have too long to wait and chances are you'll be addicted and have to go back and watch anyway!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-35632186320315706762008-04-17T14:12:00.000-05:002008-04-17T14:12:00.000-05:00All these episode recommendations sound great.

I will confess I wasn't a fan of the show until the 3rd season, but now I'm a Doctor Who freak ...er... enthusiast. :) Set your TiVo's Women of The Park Bench, the new season of Doctor Who comes to the Sci-Fi Channel this Friday, April 18th!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02124020184612470555noreply@blogger.com
