wpegg: But I'm amazed that Dr Who was victim of Australian censorship, that really is pushing protecting people from harmful content.
That was in the 70s & early 80s though, TV was a radically different beast here then, pre-unification every tv station was regional and subject to the whims of whoever was in charge. As an example, The Brain Of Morbius hit a new high for violence in the series when Kondo gets shot in the stomach (spoilers, sorry) and there's the accompanying explosive effect and blood which is still the most graphic the show has ever done. In some areas it wasn't screened at all because of this scene but in my area it was screened at 21:00 rather than the usual 18:00
