I'm glad someone agrees. My brother watched it and said it was crap, but I really liked it when I saw it on IPlayer. The Doctor should do more things lik drive round and rescue people with a camper van.
I also found this on the Wiki, thought it was quite cool.
The first time "Susan" and her grandfather encountered Humans was on the planet Iwa. Immediately after landing, the duo became separated. In his search for Susan, the Doctor encountered a Human medical colony. The principal work of the facility, called "the Refuge", was to rehabilitate patients identified as "Future Deviants". By providing dream therapy, it was hoped that such individuals would not become criminals. The Doctor quickly learned that the residents were besieged by aliens with a fox-like shape who could disintegrate and reconstitute their bodies. Taking him inside their compound, they stripped him of his clothes and burned them, citing possible contamination by the foxes. They gave him new clothes drawn from their own supply — which meant that he was now wearing the uniform of a doctor. When they assumed that he was sent by Earth to help them, he agreed with them and, anxious not to give them his real name, referenced the clothes he was then wearing to derive a title: "the Doctor".
Heh, thats kinda cool, does that actually have proof that its true? I also believe that the Time Lord once interfered with the universe, and thus created the human race, which cna be a cheap way of saying why they look human. The Doctor found out about us, escaped and liked us ever since. I guess thats whats good about Dr Who, they tell half the story and you just make up your own ideas in the other half.
Like when they used ye olde computers the size of walls with video tape in the old episodes, i dont bleieve that was because they thought it looked futuristic, but because they hated microsoft so bad they switched to better methods.
