    Yes, it won't be at all creepy to see him running around kidnapping young girls who are NOT his granddaughter.

    Yeah! Because all the programme is about is snogging, and the 19-year difference between Matt Smith and Alex Kingston was clearly fine but the 28-year difference between Capaldi and Coleman crosses the line.

    On the plus side, the usual gender bias appears to have reversed.

    I've always found this creepy considering that he is 900 years old! :eek:

    Well, yes it has. Besides, River already knew him when he met her, it's all wibbly wobbly. But Capaldi kidnapping a 20-something girl will just look beyond creepy. Too much has happened since Hartnell for anyone to think of the Doctor as some eccentric old grandad, namely all the aforementioned snogging.

    Except they haven't been kidnapped.

    These aren't children, they're adults who choose to travel with him.

    Quite. Just as from the very beginning, fifty years ago, did Barbara and Ian.:)

    Depends on the age really. And imagine Capaldi with 11-year-old Amy Pond, she'd probably have screamed instead of letting him in.

    So I guess you forgot about Barbara, Vicki, Dodo, Katarina, Sara and Polly then...

    They're the only ones who were kidnapped - for knowing too much. They ended up using a Dalek time machine to get home. Everyone else was a willing companion.

    Yeah, he's no eccentric old grandad anymore. He's snogged Clara.

    Not as creepy as the 11th asking a young Pond to travel with him...

    But that's the point, imagine Capaldi and 11-year-old Pond. She'd have called the police.

    Also the point is that would have been written in a totally different way. It would still be weird anyway, if it wasn't the Doctor. And it still is weird, he's over 900 years old. In relative terms Yewtree would be knocking on the Tardis door for the likes of Leela or Tegan, let alone Rose.

    MOOOOOO.

    Stop replying to trolls, all you are doing is feeding their little egos. Every post they have made in the past few hours has been the same words rearranged, just ignore them.

    So a 55 year old man and an 11 year old Pond is absolutely perverted.

    But a 28 year old man and an 11 year old isn't? Ok then.

    I would sincerely hope that parents are teaching their children to be careful based on more than just a stranger's age.
