Send us Fan Mail Mark is joined by Film Stories' Mark Harrison to discuss the history of censorship and Doctor Who.

But don't worry, there are plenty of laughs along the way, including Ofcom's ruling on "insufficient underwear", why the Sacha Dhawan Master had a particularly awful Christmas Day, and which Ncuti Gatwa episode is officially more grisly than Attack of the Cyberman.
