10 Most Inappropriate Doctor Who Moments

10. Complaints About The 'Gay Agenda' - Deep Breath

So the moment in question here isn’t inappropriate, but the response from several viewers was.

Ever since the show was revived in 2005, Doctor Who has featured multiple LGBTQ characters, most notably companions Captain Jack Harkness and Bill Potts. Yet despite this being the case, some people couldn’t stand watching a lesbian couple kiss on television.

In Peter Capaldi’s debut episode as the Twelfth Doctor, Deep Breath, Madame Vastra and Jenny Flint, a married couple who had already made several appearances on the show prior, share a kiss (or technically an exchange of oxygen). It was a seemingly harmless moment in a rather forgettable episode.

Yet some out-of-touch viewers found it to be deeply offensive and Ofcom received six complaints that the BBC were promoting a: “Blatant gay agenda.”

Whatever that means.

While the show does occasionally knock you over the head when it’s trying to make a point, this moment certainly wasn’t one of them. Television should be inclusive and those that criticised this moment and others like it, were deeply in the wrong.
