Is it for the gay bits? Showing men and women snogging all day long is ok, but showing what amouts to two kisses necessitates being shown after the watershed?

Trust me when I say kids see and hear a lot in the real world and that has no watershed So come on parents stop complaining its just two men kissing, or you may have to stop says to your boys stop kissing uncle George you never know what mite happen to him. After all my Nephew kisses me and he sees me kissing my partner and he knows its not wrong or bad and he is 7 Well said Sue

Series 2 had an edited down version for children. In fact in series 1 RTD said they were keen to avoid DW references because they didn't want to attract children, although clearly that had gone by series 2 - hence the edited version. Series 3 has simply reverted to what it was always meant to be and how it started - an adult show with adult themes. Parents need to stop complaining about the content and censor their children's viewing. Its after 9pm for a reason and it is likely that the Jack kids love from Dr Who is a much more adult version. (I have 2 children 7 and 11 who love Doctor Who but I wouldn't let the little one watch Torchwood as its too scary - he can watch men kissing as often as he likes - nothing wrong with children seeing loving relationships of any kind.
