No mention of Doctor Who.
How times and standards have changed.
Now hardly anyone one bats an eye lid when violent scenes are shown on TV, if they did some programs wouldn't screen at all regardless of the time of day.

We were still thinking of television in Fifties terms in the Sixties; viewers invited TV into their homes as a guest, and TV had to be polite. Things started to change in the early 70s. We were allowed mild swearing, violence and sexual references were generally only cut if the programme was going out before children were in bed, and our home grown "adult" soaps were pretty raunchy for the time. Which was a bit of a relief. Imagine not being able to use The Great Australian Adjective on bloody telly!
