David Tennant was the Dr. in that episode.

That's the first episode of the new series and Christopher Eccleston is the Doctor in that season. David Tennant takes over in the second season. And yes, it does involve Time Travel. The Doctor is a sort of tragic hero throughout the series and one of the themes is the effect that interacting with him has on the other characters and their families. It took me a while to get interested in the show, but it is very good. He has companions, but he's not necessarily romantically involved with them. They are often female, but not necessarily so, and always clever in some way although that may not always be recognized by their family, friends or society. They are not simple "sidekicks." Once I figured that out, I enjoyed the show a lot more!
