Just finished watched Revelation of the Daleks, a Sixth Doctor story which is the most violent thing I've ever seen on kids' telly (unless there's a cut somewhere of Elmo's Chainsaw Massacre that I'm unaware of). Loads of people get exterminated. Someone gets stabbed through the heart. Someone else gets killed by having their heart pumped full of embalming fluid. Someone else becomes a severed head wrapped in intestines inside a glass Dalek. Someone else gets their hand blown off and there's a shot of the severed fingers on the floor. There's cannibalism. There's a blatant double-entendre about someone being a "master at the double entry".

Six's era is *rock*.

None of which bothered me a jot when I first saw it (I was ten-ish). What did terrify me forever is whatshername's father begging her to kill him as he's being changed into a Dalek. Zomg, the FEAR.

See, that bit was brilliant... and then they cut to Alexei bloody Sayle!

He's a bit of a relief when you're Wee and Terrified, oh yes! :D

Word.

The music gun. *boggles*

And there's that bit on the wall with all the innuendo. "It's not like you ever used it anyway!"

And the camp assistant saying he's a "past master at the double entry."

Shocking, innit?

Six's era is *rock*.

Yes. Apart from a few unmentionable bits (Mel), I liked Six a lot more than I thought I would.
