I don’t care about the 80s or 70s. Doctor Who was good in the Eccleston, Tennant and Smith years. Then it turned into constant explosions and shouting and who cares about the characters or any kind of internal consistency. I don’t want it to go back to the 70s or 80s, just the period from about 2005-2011.

Decolonise colons!
Get rid of white men and straight-cis women and get back to the Daleks and cyberenbies like in the good old days.

Exactly. Lots of old Doctor Who was shit. However when it was revived it was good. Now it's appalling. My teenage daughter is a big fan of Eccleston, Tennant, Smith and Capaldi, she thinks the Jodie Whittaker episodes are rubbish and she hasn't even watched the new fella, completely uninterested.

Exasperated, not angry.
There was vastly less of the running and shouting in this last series. The doc hardly moves at all in Boom, likewise 73 Yards was far more based on things moving very slowly. The whole point of the two part finale was about Ruby and motherhood and shit, well performed, even if not that well written.
And, let's be honest, internal consistency has never been that big a thing in the programme. Even at its best - Blink is fucking stupid, actually, but widely seen as the best New Who by miles.
