Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

Here would be my advice to any new showrunner taking over Doctor Who: Do what every script editor who worked on the show has ever done. Ignore whatever they don't like or think doesn't work, and use whatever they like. If I may borrow a phrase from the show, Doctor Who continuity is a big ball of wibbley wobbley, timey wimey... stuff.
 
The much better originsl series are still excellent. Do you agree or disagree? If we just move on they'll continue destroying the franchise. Just like star trek. The good news is less and less peoole are watching the newer badly written crap that they'll most likely make changes sooner or later once they change show runners.
I keep telling myself not to write this, but I think people who think like you are fools. Because you don't just put aside something you're watching and aren't happy with and continue. Star Trek and Doctor Who continued by constantly retconning. Also, the First Doctor wasn't erased. Even if not in Turkey, there are soap operas that have been running for 50-60-70 years. How do they continue? By retconning. Furthermore, even if the directors and writers of the series you love change, the newcomers still won't be able to please everyone. Because in this age of hatred, everyone hates everything. And writers in Hollywood have become terrible. Even the writers of big series struggle to satisfy the fan base of those series. Because while Hollywood and the British film and TV series industry are becoming increasingly liberal, Americans and Britons are becoming extremely conservative. And right-wing scum on the internet control the masses, spreading right-wing and anti-woke nonsense.

I think that’s half the picture, viewed through one lense.
