We're for the whole family.
Not just kids.

Doctor Who is a family programme. It's not kids' television. People of all ages watch it. That means some stories are for kids — but some aren't. Especially now that Doctor Who has spun off the decidedly more adult Torchwood.

Because we aim to cover the whole of the Doctor Who universe (DWU), we do not censor our content on this site.

DWU characters have had every kind of sex imaginable. And they regularly die violent deaths — sometimes while chewin' tobacco, drinkin' whiskey and/or smokin' a joint, man. As a parent, you should remember that Doctor Who is a time travel show. That means it regularly depicts things we now frown on, because they used to be commonplace. In the same way Mad Men features offices thick with cigarette fog, you should expect that the Doctor will sometimes, for example, relish brandy with a 17th century pirate.

The only thing we can promise parents is that we will ruthlessly root out any pornography, violent imagery, racial hatred, or other unsavoury things that are not a part of DWU stories. Our motto is that if it ain't on the show, it ain't on this site. If you ever see any material on this site that's objectionable for children, but has nothing to do with the DWU, please contact one of our administrators immediately.

Comics

Most comics have been made in Britain and therefore not subject to public statement of ratings. It's also not clear that American made comics have subscribed to the Comics Code. Nevertheless Doctor Who comics are typically mild, with almost no hint of sexuality and little in the way of gory depictions of violence. Language in Doctor Who comics is very mild.

Prose

Prose Doctor Who ranges the gamut from books for young readers to books for adults.

Video games

Video games haven't been a huge part of the DWU experience, but none have received anything greater than an ESRB "E for everyone"
