The guys at the BBC greenlight DR WHO episodes on how scarring they are to your average eight year old. For example:
Series 1: Small undead child with gasmask sealed to his face in World War Two London. Will speak to you through disconnected telephones & radios, all he'll say is "Are you my mummy?". If he touches you, you too become an undead, gasmask wearing thing who wants a mummy.
Series 2: Satan of the Whole Universe. Ever read Warren Ellis' "JLA Classified: New Maps of Hell", where Satan is a meme, an idea that can be passed on through the reading of a manuscript? Kind of like that, except with no Superman, so everybody's fucked.
Series 3: Quantum angels. Stone statues of angels that don't move as long as you're looking at them. If you blink, they move. Towards you, very quickly, and they want your life.
Series 4: The Dark. I mean, seriously, what the fuck, BBC, why do you put this stuff on the TV at 6.45pm?
