I think the biggest success of the 2023 Christmas special of "Doctor Who" is that Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor and Millie Gibson as Companion Ruby Sunday make an excellent first impression. Both are endearing and make you want to see more in the upcoming season, which begins in spring 2024. The story of "The Church on Ruby Road" itself is perhaps a little generic, but it fits in well with Christmas and is resolved solidly. "Doctor Who" hasn't been in as good shape for a long time as it is at the end of 2023.
