Doctor Who

On the whole, Doctor Who is family friendly and lacks many heavy or triggering themes. However, there is one main trigger factor that perpetuates the series, and that is the negative depiction of Religion. This can, for someone religious, turn an enjoyable episode into a saddening and offensive waste of 45 minutes.

Below will be a work-in-progress list of episodes involving this trigger factor, and a brief explanation of how that manifests itself, aiming however not to spoil the plot. The trigger factors listed may seem at times inconsequential, but if it is capable of causing someone offence, it matters.

Other trigger factors may crop up too, but they are much rarer. One example is The Waters of Mars (S4:Special) which contains the trigger factor of suicide.
