It's tempting to believe that the ''main'' part of ''Doctor Who'' is the television series, and anything in other media is just "that bit on the side".  In fact, the ''Doctor Who'' franchise broadly consists of '''''four''''' main television programmes and then a variety of prose, comic, and audio formats that support these television shows. Stories in non-televised media far, far outnumber those on television — even though the franchise's parent programme started broadcast in 1963. If your kids get hooked on ''Doctor Who'' or one of the other shows in the franchise, they'll probably want to at least pick up a comic book or an audio.  So it's important to be aware of concerns across all media.

The following guide serves to give a fairly complete overview of the DWU in all its forms.  We don't claim it's exhaustive, or that it will be fit for your particular parenting style. Obviously, we can't mention ''every'' detail of a franchise with as much material as this one.  But we believe this is a ''reasonable'' effort at pointing out areas of possible parental concern.

Those stories written for the [[Short Trips (series)|Short Trips]] and [[Decalog (series)|Decalog]] series are intended for older readers. It would be laborious in the extreme, however, to point out which of the individual stories offer which specific parental concerns.  If you're worried about the short stories your child is reading, we recommend that you at least skim them for yourself.

We host some videos that are interviews with actors about their larger careers. We also occasionally put up clips from other shows, if they help illustrate what an actor's body of work was like, or, rarely, if they amplify an in-universe article. These videos are meant to amplify our readers' understanding about the production personnel involved, but obviously some interviews can stray into areas that are more adult.
