He got a lot of flak during his time, but his era was what got me into Who, so I don't know what the problem is. It's much better than Chibnall's era. New fans always deflect any criticism of Chibnall's era as just misogynists not wanting a woman as the doctor, but I was actually excited for the Jodie Whittaker's casting. I thought having a female doctor would open up new story possibilities and hopefully keep us away from companions that treat the doctor as a boyfriend, but the "fam" was just too stupid and whoever was showrunning didn't give Jodie good stories to work on. Maybe RT Davies will give us a good run again.
