The eleventh episode in my ongoing series of reviews, with analysis, of the BBC science-fiction show, Doctor Who.

In this part, we consider how the resurrected show reached astronomical heights of popularity as the Tenth Doctor made his debut. We look at the impact the emotional drama and relationships made on attracting an even wider audience, and how this popularity led to the commissioning of spin-off shows, before considering two standout shows of the era.
