10 Things You Should Probably Hate About Doctor Who

5. The Lacklustre Love Stories

Doctor Who, getting tongues wagging - *ahem* - since 2005. Well, he's actually been doing it since 1996, to be exact, when the Eighth Doctor shocked the show's fandom to its very core when he locked lips with Grace Holloway at the end of the ill-fated TV movie. And guess what? He hasn't stopped doing it since. His 21st century comeback introduced a more 'modern' Doctor and this was one who seemingly enjoyed kissing as much as the next guy. They never directly admit that he enjoys kissing, of course, because he's usually doing it to save an attractive woman's life or to slather his Time Lord DNA all over someone's lips as part of a life-saving "genetic transfer". Yeah, yeah, Doctor. You're not fooling us... But why should you hate Doctor Who for its ongoing 'sexy' shenanigans? It's what the audience want to see, after all (well... apparently!), apart from the purist fans who haven't forgotten that the Doctor is actually a 900 year old alien from outer space. Rose Tyler, Madame de Pompadour, Martha Jones, Donna Noble, Astrid Peth... The list goes on (and on and on) and there's no place for it in the TARDIS, thank you very much. River Song just about gets away with it, since she married him, but even that wasn't without its controversy. Maybe he should just learn to keep it in his pants? And let's not even get started on lizard/female lesbian kisses. At it turns out, the world just wasn't ready for that...
