I sometimes get asked where to start from with #DoctorWho and although there's a kind of person who MUST start with the first episode of anything (even people who write to tell us they started with Ep 1 of our podcast and have just caught up... blimey), I don't think it's needed.

I'd always recommend a great season (or series, depending on what they're looking for; old or new), and see if they like it. Sure, there might be references they don't understand, but that's how it was for 99% of us, often starting out of sync with what came before or after.
