My favourite of all the opening episodes. I had such low expectations and I sat down ready to hate Matt Smith, but he totally blew me away as the Doctor. I watched TEH 8 times in the week it was aired. The scenes between Eleven and Amelia were absolutely brilliant

This episode has a special place in my heart because it's where my DW story starts. I know it's the one I've watched the most - if I can't decide what to watch, TEH is what I turn to. Having no real experience of any of the other Doctors I had no baggage going in and Matt Smith had me from 'Can I have an apple?' It has some great humour in it & some wonderful one liners. And I too love the scenes between The Doctor & Amelia.

I love this episode, it is my fav from S5 and I believed in Matt, especially the roof scene when he says "Hello, I'm The Doctor. Basically, run."

Like poprockgeek, this was my first ever episode of Doctor Who. I was in awe while watching it and it kick-started my love of all things Doctor-related. Wonderful episode! And wonderful introduction of Matt.

4 from me. Definately one of, if not the strongest series opener of the lot. Nearly all of it was brilliant, but there were a few niggles in there that made me take a point off

Four for this one. Brilliant intro for Matt and the dynamic with Amy was set up really well. Amelia was also totally adorable.

Full marks. This story is absolutely brilliant and completely turned me round to the idea of Matt as the Doctor
