   Doctor Who was and still is a kids' show. The problem is RTD tries to   
   shovel in lots of Politically Correct idiocy to appease the few   
   loud-mouthed adults who whine on about stupidities like a lack of   
   female characters (really? most of the sidekicks have been female!),   
   etc.
