This is MY twenty best/important episodes of Doctor Who since
the show returned in March 2005... Like the Radio Times list
it's one episode from each year as opposed to a straight top
twenty.

2005: Rose (Doctor Who was back!)

Even though The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances was the best
story of Series 1.

 Yeah, I could agree with that but "Rose" was the return that we
had waited so long for. So for importance I went with that, as
that's where the new series started.
 I was like a child waiting for that episode to be broadcast that
Saturday evening twenty years ago; Doctor Who, back on BBC1!!!
Who'd have thought it?
 And there used to be a dude posting here back then (2003-2004
ish) that said Doctor Who was never coming back as the BBC
didn't have the rights to make it anymore! Remember that?

Universal/Fox's rights to the show expired in 2005. The BBC should have required them to broadcast at least one new episode at least 43 minutes long every year from 1996 onwards otherwise the rights would revert back to the BBC. The BBC back then was and still is run by a bunch of morons.

 Then BANG... it was back!
 

Universal/Fox relinquished the rights. They probably had the option to renew them but decided not to have having made nothing for almost a decade.

And now starts The Adventures of the Timeless Child Monster.

 Okay, what are your favourite "Adventures of the Timeless Child
Monster" episodes then?

I will agree with you with the one where Whittaker gets dunked into the water. The only problem with it is that she should have never been lifted out of it again. Then Spyfall, then there's no choice but Resolution since it was the only episode that year, then Revolution of the Daleks, then Eve of the Daleks since neither of them make references to The Timeless Child Monster. Then The Giggle, then 73 Yards since Gatwa was barely in it.
