The battle for the heart of Who

LETTER OF THE WEEK

There has been an unfortunate trend in Doctor Who (BBC1). Fresh writers, eager to show they are "sensitive", are filling up valuable monster-chasing time with sentimental affirmations of love designed to touch middle-aged parents. I find myself more and more jumping from the sofa shouting, "It's a show for children, stop treating us like adults!"

As a member of the target audience for the 2005 relaunch, I am constantly amazed at the assumption that Rory and Amy kissing is more fun than watching the Doctor being chased through Parliament by a Slitheen.

I came for the aliens and I stayed for the aliens, but without alien chases down similar-looking corridors, don't expect me to be around for ever. A silent majority need their weekly monster fix. Doctor Who has a simple formula: monsters, explosions, chases and a time machine. The only emotions necessary while watching are adrenaline and bowel-loosening fear. Stop the torrent of love before the Doctor gives up the whole time-travelling malarkey and settles down in the fashionable part of Ursa Minor to fix motorbikes for a living.
