Oh, not at all. Ship of the Damned has a bunch of horrible stuff, like the 20-minute romance made to fuel a plot that wasn't there and the red cactus that was so sad because he had a robotic enhancement.

And Tennant has a bunch of other bad Christmas episodes. Runaway Bride made Donna Noble, a likeable character, be horribly annoying. The enemy was somewhat interesting, but most of the episode was very bad. Christmas Invasion was pretty good, but I find that both Christmas Carol and Doctor, Widow and Wardrobe were better, leave alone Snowmen.

I mean, Davies can write very good stuff, as you can see in the specials. Waters of Mars and Planet of the Dead are pretty good, and End of Time is  amazing. But Next Doctor is arguably the worst serial in history.
