Despite my gripes with RTD anything's better than Chibnall, gently caress. I'm fine with fun bad instead of bad bad.

Yes he also had plenty of bad episodes, it's also a lot to do with the time, the mid 2000s was pretty dire for a lot of stuff and Doctor Who fell into that trap. But there were a lot of episodes that were fun bad that I've watched plenty of times, it's the whole taking a series as a full parcel, taking the show as a full package. Yes there's gonna be a proper shite and you'll question what you're doing with your life, but then the Doctor will swordfight an alien in his dressing gown and kill him with a satsuma and you're hollering. That's the fun of Doctor Who, the quality is wildly different week from week.

Now RTD will have more than Chibnall ever will, but aside from watching Jodie being amazing in the role, I will have a hard time convincing myself to rewatch these past couple series, it has been the blandest the revival has ever been. It's been perfectly fine here and there, but I don't think he really gets this show, and it's a shame cause Jodie's tenure has really suffered because of it.

Didn't No. 10 Downing Street also get blown up by tomahawk missile or something at the end of it (which was the start of the ascension of Harriet Jones, Prime Minister, and thus the First Great and Glorious Human Empire)? How did THAT one get hand-waved away?

Well that's the beauty of Doctor Who, you don't know if an episode will be absolutely amazing or absolute garbage until you watch it, and they're sometimes back to back and written by the same person!
