You should check out some of the remastered DVDs, a few of them come with optional digital effects. They don't affect the story of course, but they're a nice touch. Also a few enterprising YouTubers have created their own which for the most part can compare with anything Hollywood can do. Anyway, as Doctor number six, Colin Baker, once remarked in an interview, the only reason to deride the visuals of the past is that you're looking at them with modern sensibilities. The young kids of a friend of mine, massive Tennant fans, besides finding "The Kid" to be just too silly also love watching the DVDs I've loaned them in the past - enough in fact to pester their parents to buy copies for them. They have that quality of an intelligent audience which seems to go unappreciated by modern TV producers, that of not caring about the visuals. The story's the thing.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
