Why oh why oh why, BBC, must you insist on showing scary potentially unsuitable material before the watershed? Tonight's episode of Doctor Who was REALLY CREEPY contained scenes that I some viewers shrieked at in a completely wimpish way could have found disturbing. ESPECIALLY, I might add, since this is FAMILY entertainment, and such material is clearly unsuitable for 25-year-old PhD students young children.

I am a decent, law-abiding viewer who's only just got over the trauma of seeing the first Cybermen fifteen years ago, and I demand to know why my license fee is being spent on this kind of thing. What sort of example are we setting to young people when grown adults are tempted to dive behind the sofa when the creepy thing starts talking?

Yrs,

Mrs Trellis of North Wales.

p.s.: if this gives me nightmares, it's ALL YOUR FAULT.

it rained last nite. Finally.

I skipped the doctor to go sit in the rain, washed the week away and was blessedly cool in a quiet, listen to the frogs party sort of way.

Poor Mrs Trellis in North Wales... sounds like she needed a front deck, rain and frogs!

You can never have too many frogs.
