Much more disturbing than a Rowan Atkinson joke that someone took too seriously. That's just like Marriage, Babies, and Lesbianism: how to keep rating up when you're out of ideas.
I wish I could watch Doctor Who, but it feels more like a kids' show now than when it was a kids' show. Back when the Doctor had to be clever. Whereas now, he's Super Bat-Merlin, shooting UFOs out of the sky with his magic screwdriver (but not using guns). It's too rushed, too ephemeral, too trite (look at the Master stories which were really perverted).
Y watched Tennant and Smith for a while. I showed her an old one - Genesis of the Daleks (the last good Dalek story) - and it was much too suspenseful for her.

That really told me what was missing.
