I did lodge a complaint with the BBC about Waters of Mars. It wasn't suitable family viewing, end of. I've got kids and I don't want this kind of shit from a kids' show.
You've every right to complain and I agree that something has been lost. I've watched DW since the first Doctor (I was 6) and I watch it still, but I don't expect nor want the stories to be for me as an adult. In the next 2 specials, I can't think what story they'll run underneath the adult stuff that the kids will understand, but it'll have to be a good one or it'll be a huge betrayal of the show (but I'm not holding my breath).
It did this flip somewhere along the line, I think in series 4, where the doctor's-hubris-and-manpain storyline went from being the underlying for-the-adults B-plot, as it were, to being the A-plot. It is still a kids' show, and I resent the fact that that happened.
