March 26, 2005 –
The BBC revived the Dr. Who series on this date, which hadn’t aired since the end of the 26th season in 1989, with the episode Rose, starring Christopher Eccleston as the new incarnation of the doctor and Billie Piper as Rose his new traveling companion.
Executive Producer Russell T. Davies stated that he chose to have Christopher Eccleston depict a new incarnation of the Doctor so he could have a fresh start for both the new viewers and the story lines he wanted to implant in the series, and because Eccelston was a good friend of his who wanted to help Doctor Who gain momentum to become successful again.
