Sorry, Madame Vastra, Jenny, and Strax were introduced in The Battle of Demons Run. That's prior to Clara, during the Amy and Rory phase.

So what season is the 2005 one with dude. Season 1?
Series 1, 9th Doctor, Chris Eccleston.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_serials
There were 26 classic seasons before the restart in 2005, so I guess season vs series is used to differentiate the two sets.
That said, I think everyone uses series and season interchangeably so it's easy to get confused.
I constantly refer to that wiki page.
We traditionally referred to "series" here in the UK, but teh interwebz have closed that particular language gap.
Re Vastra, Jenny and Strax: I'm sure their first appearance was in "A Good Man Goes To War", although their story begins before that. Probably for that reason I find them amongst the most compelling recurring characters; they have gradually 'fleshed out' and developed over time.

I believe you are correct. That's the episode I meant when I said Demons Run.
Just been reading through this thread. Hulu, Netflix, Cable? When I watched Doctor Who, it was on BBC 1. Now I have to find other sources...aaarrh.
Those of us in the USA can only get BBC America (has the Doctor) and only on cable or satellite - hence the importance of other sources.
Cable or satellite? Thar don't know thar's born.... when I was a lad we only had three channels, all analogue, and only one was in colour. We only got to watch it after working a 26hr day down t'mine AND walking 10miles there and back.... all uphill!

Colour...luxury!!! We had teh make our own tv ou' tah ol' corn flakes boxes and sticky backed plastic.
I got loads of cable channels now though, non of them show Doctor Who.

Rabbit ears covered in tin foil! Four channels, but luckily one was PBS showing things like Masterpiece Theatre and....Doctor Who! How else would a kid in Texas in the '70's know anything at all about Daleks?

True, but he was clownish. Everyone is afraid of clowns.

Now children! Stop that bickering this instant! Don't make me turn this thread right around and head back home!
Besides, there's no point in saying one Doctor is better than another. Everyone knows which Doctor is the best. All of them. Every one of them is The Doctor, and that's what really matters.

FIFY
Watching the Eccelston season on Netflix now (3 down).
I've actually watched most episodes out of order
... (I think I've seen 99% of Tennant's and Smith's seasons).It's kind of funny to get those "aha!" moments sprinkled around when I finally connect the dots to a previous reference
.

I think I have a new wallpaper in there!
I love the genius in this breakthrough line -
It's smaller on the outside.

LOL, I loved it when Clara (i.e., the writers) did that!
