And then there's the fact that in terms of the BBC's Doctor Who history in general, it doesn't make much sense for the new series to remain a "good" Doctor Who, at least as a series, rather than to take up the mantle of "another Peter Capaldi" (as is the case with the Doctor in the original series).  The show's second season, the first, is a pretty low-budget, budget-friendly version of the Doctor's first season, and there are plenty of reasons why that wouldn't be a good fit for the new series at all. The show takes a bit of a break from its predecessor's Doctor Who in order to focus on the present-day, the future, as well as being more of a series about Doctor Who, but it's still a good Doctor Who.

So how did the Doctor make the leap into Doctor Who in the first place? Well, it started with the very first episode, "The Death of the Daleks," airing on January 24, 1963.  "The Doctor" was playing a long-lost, evil, and mysterious incarnation of the Daleks, and it was about to get serious.  Doctor Who had been running with Daleks for a century, and the Daleks were back in full force, at least for the last 20 years.

The new show had more potential than it ever had with the Daleks.  And while the Daleks were dead, they were still working in the Dalek's lair, under the guise of a sinister and sinister Doctor, so it was important, at least for those who had been following the Doctor's adventures over the last ten years.

(The original Daleks were a group of humanoid beings who served the Daleks as spies and assassins against the Daleks and the Doctor, and they were known as the Daleks in the original series.)

And while the Daleks were an extremely dangerous species, the Doctor was still being kept alive by the Daleks.  The Daleks couldn't really be killed by Doctor Who.  They were basically human.  And the Daleks had been a long time in the making, so the Doctor had been on the run since the very first time he came across the Daleks.

And now, the Daleks were finally ready to come back into the fold.  Doctor Who's second and most recent original series, "The Last Thing the Daleks Took," was based on the story of the same name.  The series was based
