Will we get complaints that Dr Who is scaring children - like the suffocating sofa & daffodils back in the '70s

Lol.

I think kids like to be scared - I know I loved it when I was a child.

Anyway, it's all good publicity for the programme (didn't Alf Garnet's ratings shoot up every time the Mary Whitehouse brigade slated them?)

And for anyone who says their kids were too scared by it, maybe they're too young to be alowed to watch it.

Heh...I was about seven or eight when that was shown, and I wouldn't go near a daffodil in the garden for months afterwards!
