- The Pilot
- Rose
- The Unquiet Dead
- Aliens of London
- World War Three
- Dalek

Christopher Eccleston's Doctor is wise and funny, cheeky and brave. A
loner, his detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world's in
danger. But when it comes to relationships, he can be found wanting.
That's why he needs Rose. From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose
are soulmates. With nothing to hold Rose back (neither her overbearing
mum nor her hapless boyfriend), she chooses the Doctor and his promise
of fantastic adventures across the universe.

I truly
believe Doctor Who wouldn't have become the global phenomenon it is
today without the 2005 relaunch of the series. Christopher Eccleston's
Ninth Doctor is wise and funny, cheeky and brave. And his companion,
Rose, was the down to Earth, average teenager the whole audience could
relate to. As they travel together through time, encountering new
adversaries, the Doctor shows her things beyond imagination. Some of my
favorite stories from this season included "The End of the World" (where
the Doctor shows Rose the eventual fate of the planet Earth); "Dalek"
(the bitter sweet, but still chilling return of the most famous enemies
of the show); and "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" (a gripping and
scary two parter set in WWII, featuring zombie kids in gas masks, and
the first apperance of heroic heart throb, Captain Jack Harkness). And
it all leads up to an exciting two part season finale with a showdown
with the Daleks, and a tearful changing of the guard, in which the
Doctor regenerates into his Tenth form.
It's a shame the Ninth Doctor only lasted a season, because he was pretty good, and this series was pivital in not only reintroducing the classic series to the modern era, but also laying the ground work for all the important elements that would make the modern era of Who the success that it is today. And the discs are all jam packed with interesting special features, including behind the scenes info about the making of the show, and interviews with the cast members.

- Eccleston
only played The Doctor for this single season; he did not renew his
contract. But his work here sets the ground work for every Dr. Who
episode created since. Gone is the absent-minded professor type of the
first eight Doctors. Eccleston's Doctor is thoughtful, direct, and
action-focused. This is a Time Lord with a plan who doesn't hesitate to
do whatever needs to be done and has both the knowledge and experience
to solve problems that would confuse others.
He is also a haunted man, regenerating out of the War Doctor (see "Day of the Doctor" from the 50th anniversary specials), the sole survivor of the Great Time War, his conscience thick with the horrors of that war and his role in it, a conscience that makes him more determined than ever to help others -- starting with Rose Tyler in the first episode, "Rose."
