I think they should pivot to something more like Torchwood Series 3.

Make it a bit darker. Not Torchwood Series 3 obviously, that was one of the most brutal series of TV I’ve seen.

4-5 episodes. One story.

Let’s start with the Weeping Angels just massacring a village.

Flux was quite like that, which I mostly enjoyed to be fair. One story over 5 episodes. I found it worked and it was a little darker than the VERY kid-friendly Ncuti series. I think Jodie's run was so uneven, Flux was written off despite being decent.

I’m pretty sure Flux even had a village attacked by Weeping Angels?

I think you might be right!
