Honestly, the same is true for Jodi Whittaker - nearly all her episodes were terrible, but it wasn't a problem (IMO) with her as a Doctor. She was just never given any good material to work with. David Tennant and Tom Baker are both blessed/spoiled for the fact that not only were they good, but so was the show at the time they played the Doctor. In a lot of ways, the whole show went much easier on them than it did on many of the others.Ncuti Gatwa had everything he needed to be a top-notch Doctor - other than having much in the way of great episodes. Sure, many of his had - bits - of greatness, but they almost always were overshadowed by garbage. Sometimes halfway through an otherwise great episode. Shame.</blockquote>
