Dr Who:

You do realize, don’t you, that this is/was a kid’s tv program. Back in the day, aged 14 in 1963, I groaned at the Daleks and the ‘radiophonic workshop’ noises.

As far as I can tell, nothing much has changed. All this posturing about gender/race has nothing whatsoever to do with the original ‘plot’. Which, btw, was mostly about keeping 7 year olds in front of the ‘tube’ on an early Saturday evening, whilst their parents prepared dinner.
