From earlier thread:

re: #61 Eclectic Cyborg

OFFS. “Damn” has been allowed to be in TV and film for almost 80 years now.

I recently saw a restored version of the 1958 BBC serial “Quatermass and the Pit”, and was quite struck by how an evening drama of it’s time was so casual in its usage of words like “damn” and “hell”.

Fast forward half a century, and you have Doctor Who under showrunner Russell T. Davis, and seemingly in each episode there’s at least one line where someone’s asking “what the HELL is going on”, and, although I love RTDs era of Who, it almost seems quaint and forced by comparison.
