It'll be quite hard to do that, as because of the BBC's junking policy from the '60s quite a few episodes from the First Doctor to the Second Doctor are unavailable.
If you try typing in episode names "The Unearthly Child", "The Daleks", etc. you should probably be able to find something. If not, I imagine a few DVD shops (like HMV, if you have that over there) would sell them, it'd just be hard to get them in chronological order.

So first episode was last night.
I loved the twist in the opening sequence, I genuinely never expected that.
Also, I have to wonder whether Davros' messenger will continue to appear, because in all honesty he looks like an interesting antagonist.
Previous spoilers meant I knew Missy was going to be back, but in all honesty it wouldn't have surprised me. Glad to see that Michelle Gomez still portrays her perfectly. That brilliant blend of crazy and sinister.
I thought it was cool that they were taken to Skaro, though part of me thought it was Gallifrey. Also nice to see old-timey Daleks.

The two-parter premiere was cool. And unlike last year, I won't have to work the night shift every Saturday, so I'll be able to watch this season, instead of just catching an episode here and there on re-airings (case in point: I only saw the two-parter finale to last season in its entirety for the first time last week, having had to read a summary of Part 1 and only catching bits and pieces of part 2 last year).
Missy's awesome: crazy and fun and sinister. Definitely looking forward to when she turns up next. Daleks are always a good time too, and Clara being in the Dalek reminded me of her original Oswin appearance. But while sunglasses are cool and all, I miss the screwdriver...
Won't be watching the next episode live, gonna catch that on the iPlayer. Oh well, least it means no nightmares for Saturday night as it does like quite spooky :P
I'll admit it, I fell for Davros being nice, and in all honesty I found those scenes between The Doctor and him to be quite heart-warming, even if both were playing a game. Oh well, least it means that Davros will probably show up in the future, I was worried that this would be his final appearance.
And per Walky on the sunglasses, much preferred the screwdriver.

I liked this two-parter.
Usually Doctor Who is all about the "history can be rewritten" wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff, so it was nice to get an eloquent "the changes in the past were always part of the past" closed causal loop. I also liked how the Fisher King towered over the Doctor and backed him right up against the thing for his speech - made him nice and threatening.
I think the villain looked kind of goofy. He had this "guy in suit" look I'm used to seeing in the classic series with things like the Zarbi, as opposed to, say, the Slitheen or the werewolf from Tooth and Claw. Also his mouth looked kind of freudian if you know what I mean.
I enjoyed this two-parter as well. Though that paradox that the Doctor mentioned is still puzzling me :P One other thing that puzzles me is O'Donnell, she died in the past like the undertaker did, so she was always dead, so wasn't she a ghost in the first part?
