Doctor Who is meant to be scary for little kids, they are meant to hide behind the couch, (although he doesn't at all - the scarier the better). I'd rather he saw a woman in pain giving birth in a tv show than what is usually portrayed - ie oh my water broke, here comes the baby, oh here it is wasn't that easy - think the episode of baywatch where a woman gives birth on the beach without removing her one-piece bathers lol. I don't think they will overstep the boundaries on this episode, but they will come close. That's all right with me. It's Doctor Who. He's far more interested in the scary monsters than in Amy anyway. @grumbly as the parent of an 8yo who loves doctor who, he sees worse things on shows like The Simpsons (some of those episodes are very dodgy and not suitable for children).

I'd like it not to be The Doctor's, but if it turned out to be, you can see the potential of the storylines, though they'd mostly be negative. I find myself asking the same question as e.p, how can it be the Doctor's? and you are cautious about asking that in case people are funny about it, which they like to be, lol Still, I am very much looking forward to next week's episode and if we do find out who River Song is, please after all this time let the reality of who she is be great.

As an adult I'm loving the intricate layered, and slowly revealing themes. But with themes such as pregnancy, horrific painful childbirth (Amy did not look well pleased)impregnation, repeated favourite character deaths, and remember to kids fave characters become friends, and cloning, have we gone too far for a kids show? Have we reached the point whereby we have to start explaining the mechanics of childbirth and pregnancy and such to anyone under 10? At 6.30? And yes we may see such on soaps but these themes are tied in with unreal, stark and frightening imagery. Yes I know most of the audience are prob adults like me who remember Baker and co, and my teenage daugters who loved Tennant, but what about the families sitting down with younger kids.

That'll be crushing overnight viewing figures for Doctor Who then. Oh great, the episode will be up against an England Euro-2012 qualifier AND Britain’s Got Talent finale on itv.
