Been thinking quite a bit on the Topic of what Doctor Who Episode would be the best one to show to People who have never watched the Series.

Previously my personal Pick has always been the 2006 X-Mas Special "The Runaway Bride" for both Showing some good Action, Humour, Doctor Whoisms and even the Darker theme of the 10th Era, all in a Massively Entertaining Package!

But I'm really curious, what would you Pick to show your Friends?

@jesusOmar. I feel like Heaven Sent and Hell Bent, Demon's Run, and Water on Mars was great. HS/HB shows the Doctor's endurance and perseverance, Demon's Run is shows how the Doctor is seen as a force of nature rather than a person, and Water On Mars shows how that perspective of the Doctor influences the Doctor when he's really desperate (other people think of him like a god and treat him as something greater than a person therefore he forgets that he is just a person himself).

    @jesusOmar Also, that one scene in The Husbands of River Song where she is adamant that the Doctor doesn't love her proves even further that even with the people he is most close with sees him as more than a person. "Loving the Doctor is like lovong the stars themselves, you don't expect a sunset to love you back".She sees the Doctor like nature's magnificance uncapable of love.
