Via selenak  : Sisterhood, a Doctor Who vid featuring female companions of seasons past who did more than scream and twist their ankles.

I didn't like the end of the most recent season very much, because ( of things which are spoilers )

But, anyway. What I was going to say was, speaking of Doctor Who vids, here's one featuring the first companion I knew. New Who people, meet Ace, probably the best counter-argument ever to claims that Old Who companions never did anything: Trouble.

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,

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