All of the Davison stories were broadcast on Monday and Tuesday early evenings, which was not considered a more adult timeslot either then or now. The BBC has always operated the so-called "nine o'clock watershed" in terms of when the rules on sex and violence are loosened. At the beginning of Colin Baker's first full series the time was changed back to the traditional Saturday early evening (initially with an unhappy attempt at doubling the length of episodes) and ironically it was this series that caused the complaints and in retrospect is still considered to be the height of graphic violence and moral ambiguity in Who.
