Yes, I know. Mine certainly does, anyway, and not infrequently.

Old doctor who's were always a bit educational, as well as entertaining that's what this series appears to have returned to. It was a family/kids show, the adult off shoot was torchwood and that was far less educational from what I remember.

The Torchwood plots were all the better for it too.

Re: Female Doctor Who

Stopped watching Dr Who some years ago, it became either too surreal or too politically correct which the BBC as with all TV channels is obsessed with these days.

I enjoyed them too but i never watched them with a child, i like Dr Who is embracing the younger audience too now, there is a lot of rubbish on children's tv these days and a lot of it not made in uk. its nice they are seeing something British made and interesting.

Re: Female Doctor Who

Surreal ? its sci fi hardly a documentary format
PC ? treating people equally nothing wrong with that IMO
Kids need teaching I like that BBC is willing to step up and help parents discuss these topics. We had a long discussion about the segregation that Gracie had no idea had taken place. They mentioned Emmett in the story when we googled him we were all moved by his story. A lot in Sci fi has made us look things up and educated us.

Re: Female Doctor Who

Missed last weeks because it was spiders, but watched this week and enjoyed it a lot, love the idea a man was having a baby and it was nice getting more back story on the companions too.

Exactly why I didn't watch it this week.

I believe next week's lesson at the BBC is about the independence of India
