The Times is reporting that the BBFC has ruled that the recent Doctor Who episode Dalek showed “excessive cruelty” to the metal meanie, and that the Dalek being tortured under the instructions of baddie Henry Van Statten sets a bad example to children. The forthcoming DVD has been given a 12 rating.
