With "Rose" the audience is introduced again to the eccentric time-traveller known only as "The Doctor".
Russell T. Davies' script manages to introduce a new Doctor through the eyes of companion-to-be, Rose Tyler, as well as fitting in a rushed but reasonably exciting tale featuring the classic Who baddie, the Autons.
This is 45 minutes of polished, excellent, fun-filled television and it's clear from the outset that the future of the show is in safe hands. While the effects aren't perfect in "Rose", this is early days for a new show and the effects team are in new territory.
Billie Piper is a joy to watch and Ecclestone breathes new life into the legendary Time Lord.
There are plot points in "Rose" that may upset some fans but it's early days and anything can happen in the future...
