Series 1 (Doctor Who)



Series 1 of Doctor Who, occasionally known as season 27 for clarity between it and season 1, ran between 26th March 2005 and 18th June 2005 and marked the return of Doctor Who to weekly television after a 16-year hiatus. Although a continuation of the earlier series, the BBC chose to restart its series numbering rather than possibly alienate new viewers by branding this the 27th season. This season saw the show return to 45-minute episodes for the first time since 1985. Many episodes serve to reintroduce concepts of Doctor Who to a new generation, with key episodes being Aliens of London, which reintroduced UNIT (albeit in a minor way), Dalek, which reintroduced the Daleks and also provided the first major information about the Last Great Time War, and The Parting of the Ways, which featured the revived series' first regeneration. All 13 episodes are linked by the story arc, Bad Wolf. Series 1 was later shown by the American network, Sci-Fi Channel - the first time a nationally broadcast commercial network had shown the series in the US.
