There's a lot of Doctor Who that is witty, inventive, imaginative and entertaining. On that level I'd hold a lot of it up as excellent TV.
On the other hand there's very little Doctor Who that isn't dated, slow-paced, occasionally awkward, and severely hamstrung by production constraints. On that level I'd feel the need to offer a few pre-emptive excuses to anyone I was holding it up to!
You take the rough with the smooth, but on its best days it was smooth enough not to chafe *too* badly. Not enough to distract from the good bits, anyway. :-)
