If it's the one I'm thinking of Silence in the Library is one of the better episodes of the new Doctor Whos. Moody, dark, and not stupid. If there were more on that level, I wouldn't have much of a problem with the new show.*
But, I'm not the kind of fan that would ask you for fan badge back. I stopped watching the old series when it got crappy, again.
I think the silence one started off one of the better subplots with what's-her-name (it's a shame I don't rememeber it) -- despite the crappy ending with her being the kid of the two idiots. I probably just like it because I like the whole one person running backward in time deal.** Also the woman playing her was very charismatic.
Again, it was that stuff that kept me coming back to try the new series. But, it would always return to form.
I never saw any Capaldis, for the sad reason that I'd bugged out after the awful Master specials (he used to be so evil; now he's ao pathetic) and it became less convenient to watch. He looked good in the excerpts, and so does the new one. I just can bring myself to give them a shot.
* I don't really mind the new show except that it feels rushed, the plots are often banal (when present) and the Doctor was turned into a superhero. If there were fewer dragons repreaenting and cute fat monsters jumping out of people's bellies and they had had made more of a break with the original show, I'd have kept watching.
** A rather less wholesome version I've tried to start a couple of times in the past 20 years.
