Series 5

Spanning from the 3rd of April to the 26th of June 2010, Series Five introduced Matt Smith and Karen Gillian as The Doctor and Amy Pond, this was the first series to have no involvement from Russel T Davies. The series was effectively a restart, with the viewer require no prior knowledge of the show. The series set up many plot threads, including the "Silence Will Fall" arc, which wouldn't be concluded until Smiths last episodes.

The series received highly positive reviews from critics and fans alike. Citing Smith and Karen's acting, Moffat's writing and fresh take on the show as the reasons. However critics were less positive about the Dalek reboot which was ultimatley erased from the show.
