yeah but not quite as high as modern Who, hence it was possible for classic Who to have Pure Evil characters while modern Who is almost impossible ever since the whole Reality Bomb arc, which scaled heinousness levels beyond what most could achieve after.. fitting that it was Davros who did that but it raised the bar to a near-impossible level.

basically classic Who could have Pure Evil while modern Who.. maybe but I doubt it unless they lower the stakes just a fraction.
