...I really need *not* to write some long, babbling post about how Moffat sees Doctor Who as a comedy, and therefore hope is key to the finale. ( but a placeholder might do )
Although I think this season that just wrapped (season five of the relaunched series) actually makes a good place to start, because the show has a new Doctor, a new companion, and a new showrunner/head writer and production team. There are occasional references to previous seasons, but not that many.
And perversely, because there's just so much Doctor Who, it kind of gives you the liberty to jump in at somewhat arbitrary spots, just keeping the basic concept in mind: alien travels through time and space in a blue police box, taking people along for the ride. (None of that is to say that you should feel the need to watch the show, but if you *were* by chance thinking about doing it but feeling overwhelmed, I think S5 is a pretty good place to start.)
