Doctor Who is not for children, says Russell T. Davies (www.telegraph.co.uk)

I think there was an effort in the past to make sure it's a family show and disconnect The Doctor from the more mature parts of the whoniverse. Maybe the changes in production and, maybe, the realization adults are too obsessed with it create new avenues for money making creativity.

It's not something children should watch alone, I'll grant that. But it is and always should be something families can watch together.

I would hate for this to take the same path the Trek franchise did and start adding in a bunch of gratuitous gore, pointless profanity, and alien titties.

Knowing there was new Trek for the first time in ages and then finding out I couldn't comfortably share it with my kids was a big disappointment. I don't want that to happen to Doctor Who.
