I only want realistic episodes of a show centered around a godlike being that can manifest any reality they choose.

Where’s “The Doctor has to paint a fence”, “Dr. Who and people coughing while standing uncomfortably close at the shops” or even “Dr. Who’s request for holiday got denied and now they are answering emails on a glorious day”?
If my escapist fantasy isn’t reminding me of my dreary life, then what’s the point?
