Which Doctor Who stories would you give the "lemonade treatment"?
That is, make lemonades out of the lemon, which means to improve the
taste or quality, either by rewriting it or making a follow up story
that makes it look better.

Entire 11th Doctor replaced with a different actor. (And change the 
scene with the stuffing food into stupid face and spitting it back out.)

I hope AI will one day be able to do that. Could use the face of 
whatshisname Cumberbatch (from Sherlock) for example.

The absorbalov episode in 10th Doctor, change it to the nonames 
realizing what's happening and beating or capturing the baddie, then 
going on with doing fun things, before anyone gets absorbed. And put 
more Doctor into it.

I'd put more Doctor into Blink, too. And show what he and Martha have 
been doing with the bow and arrows.

13th Doctor, make sure everyone knows it's just the Master messing with 
the Doctor with that "regneration coming from other universe kid" 
nonsense.

I don't have enough other episodes in mind to add more. Maybe upon 
rewatching I'll add some stuff.

Mind, with Classic, it's generally just charming and cute, for being 
old... I think I'd have more survivors in general, though.

Oh, I remember something. Blonde curly haired Doctor (6th?) was at times 
yelling abusively and making the poor companion flinch. Didn't look 
good.
