Strongly disagree with your assessment. If RTD wasn't a disaster in your view then you think it's fine for the TARDIS to be a snogbox and every friggin' companion should have the hots for The Doctor.
Gimme MOFFAT!

...and I adamantly disagree with your assessment of Chibnall.
@ClaraListensprechen4 Moffat is also my favorite showrunner. But Chibnall so effectively destroyed Doctor Who that he made John Nathan Turner look like Orson Welles. In the circumstances, I celebrate Davies for preventing another 15-year hiatus—or worse.
