I tried watching in the 1980s but was annoyed at the frequent and humorless resort to Deus ex machina when the plot frequently dead-ended.
Perhaps I was spoiled by Monty Python’s humorous use of this technique.

I can't imagine anyone having that problem when Douglas Adams was one of the writers. #4thDoctor

Wow! I loved the entire Hitchhiker’s series.
My attempt at Dr. Who was sometime around 1982-85. I believe I watched at least parts of 2 series. All I can remember now is the Doctor and friend were well and truly trapped, and he pulled something out of thin air to escape. More than once. Had I detected humor in it I would have enjoyed it, but that’s not what I remember.
Some of the dilemmas seemed to be not very well built, but I can’t recall any details.

I watched some passively again with my grandson in the early 2010’s, but still didn’t appreciate the storytelling.
