#29 Dalek
While still in the first half of its debut season, Nu-Who was already embroiled in its first controversy. The Daleks made their first appearance in the new series in this episode, but the shocking torture scene in which the Doctor electrocutes a Dalek was too much for many viewers to bear.
The British Board of Film Classification has lodged a complaint over the scene in which the Doctor tortures the violent alien, claiming that it sends the wrong message to young viewers who see the Doctor as a hero rather than a cruel war criminal. Future Doctors were more mellow, so we won’t have to see any more torture.
