Doctor Who doesn't really need to be objectively well written, it's a television show for families and it's meant to be fun. So if a Doctor Who episode is creative and entertaining, then I consider it a "well written" episode.

I think it's important to keep in mine the standards a show has set in what it's supposed to be and what it presents to you, that's how you judge if the writing is good or bad.

Fun shows for families can, and should, still be well-written. I do not require (or accept) my fun, family friendly viewing to be nonsensical and poorly thought out.

I think I explained myself poorly, because I basically agree, but when I say "objectively well written" I mean things that have the possibility of going over the head of your average television watcher, particularly young children.

Children are very smart but you can't for instance, give them a psychological thriller and expect them to be entertained. An adult drama that is well written is not the same thing as a children's drama that is well written.

I don't think that means things shouldn't be well thought out, in fact I think there should be just as much thought and care as if it were adult entertainment. The problem is family entertainment is often not respected as a field and as a result a lot of writers do tend to hand waive problems (I know Moffat has done this.)

A creative and entertaining Doctor Who episode written by Steven Moffat? Rarer than a unicorn that defecates solid gold turds, IMO.
