 ===Television===
-Our main show, ''[[Doctor Who]]'', varies significantly in terms of [https://www.bbfc.co.uk/what-classification/U ratings], but is generally classified as a family-friendly show. from "U" for episode one of ''[[The Time Warrior (TV story)|The Time Warrior]]'' to "12" for ''[[Arachnids in the UK (TV story)|Arachnids in the UK]]''.  ''[[Torchwood (series)|Torchwood]]'' and ''[[Class (TV series)|Class]]'', however, are targetted at adults, and therefore has a much higher average rating of "15".
+Our main show, ''[[Doctor Who]]'', varies significantly in terms of [https://www.bbfc.co.uk/what-classification/U ratings], but is generally classified as a family-friendly show. from "U" for episode one of ''[[The Time Warrior (TV story)|The Time Warrior]]'' to "12" for ''[[Arachnids in the UK (TV story)|Arachnids in the UK]]''. Episodes  (and by extension, our wiki pages relating to them) contain depictions of violence which range from mild to distressing. Extensive blood and gore is rare, but [[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|some content]] has been the centre of much [[Mary Whitehouse|controversy]]. Swearing is rare, but does happen. As does discriminatory language (see "Prejudice and Bigotry" section). Sexual references are also fairly mild, with no sex shown on screen, but as our pages cover all mediums with lots of crossover, there is no guarantee that the severity of our wiki pages will match the episode in question.
-The Sarah Jane Adventures
+''[[Torchwood (series)|Torchwood]]'' and ''[[Class (TV series)|Class]]'' are targetted at adults, and therefore have an average rating of "15". Sex is depicted on screen and mentioned frequently, and violence and swearing is of a higher severity than their parent show, with ''Torchwood'' being the main offender.
+''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' and ''[[K9 (TV series)|K9]]'', on the other hand, are generally more kid friendly, and have a typical rating of PG. Violence is mild and sexual reference and string language is very low.
+===Audios===
+While audios such as those of [[Big Finish Productions]] and [[AudioGO]] don't contain swearing or overt sexuality or gory sound effects, their content matter can range. ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus]]'', for example, is notable for revealing a very dark explanation for the creation of [[Cybermat]]<nowiki/>s, which involves death of infants. Audios for ''[[Big Finish Torchwood series|Torchwood]]'' and ''[[Class: The Audio Adventures|Class]]'' also contain content on par with their television ratings.
+=== Comics ===
+In the long history of [[Doctor Who comic stories|''Doctor Who'' comic stories]], almost none have been formally rated by any comics authority.  Of course, few, if any, are at all troubling for parents. ''Doctor Who'' comics are typically mild, with almost no hint of sexuality and little in the way of gory depictions of violence.  Language in is also very mild.
+[[File:Burning corpse.jpg|thumb|right|...But some are more explicit.]]
+''[[Doctor Who Magazine comic stories|Doctor Who Magazine]]'', [[Doctor Who (IDW)|IDW]], [[Titan Publishing Group|Titan Comics]] or [[Cutaway Comics]] stories are written to more of a teenage/young adult standard but generally do not contain any particularly objectionable content.
