What Parents Need to Know
About Doctor Who
Parents need to know that this show can seem lighthearted, but underneath The Doctor's always-cool exterior and his jovial approach to even the direst circumstances are some important moral messages. Selfishness, evil, and the urge to dominate the galaxy are all frowned upon, while honesty, loyalty, and integrity will eventually win out no matter what the odds.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the basic concepts of right and wrong. Do The Doctor's actions ever fall into a gray area? Do the ends ever justify the means, even if the future of the entire world is at stake? On a more fantastical note, where (and when) would you go if you had The Doctor's abilities?

- My highlights are:
Deep plots, good message, and fun
This is a fantatic show and is an improvement on the excellent series of the 70s. The plots are deep and deal with important moral messages of war, environmental destruction, lust for power. It assumes that children have a brain and can think, which is missing in most shows. It is also funny and full of enough action to keep them interested to get the message. One episode from the 3rd season gave my 7 year old nightmares, so some caution is warranted.

great for any kids 10+
I really like this show, but my dad won't shut up about the 1st series from the 60's or so. Anyone know where I can get a copy?

Good show for all ages.
the series is great and i used to get up at 5:00AM on Friday to watch the 3rd series but i have seen the 1st series.I personally don't really like it anymore but i do sometimes watch it.It's a clean show but when the ninth doctor turns into the tenth doctor then it starts with kinda an adult thing cuz the tenth doctor kinda goes through women alot but he still loves Rose though he will kiss other women.
