Doctor Who is anti-gun but as the episode Stolen Earth/Journey’s End his hypocrisy is exposed to himself when Daleks shove it in his face how the humans do the dirty work for him.

In one way Dr. Who is not that liberal in the sense that when he goes back in time there is not the condesencion of the past and how people might of been different then. More often than not its characters from the past who help save the day. Definately a big improvement over Star Trek TNG etc.

I was very touched when the Daleks forced the Dr to face the truth. The pain that caused him was very well played.

Hmm...I’m racking my brain trying to recall that.

Oh well.

I do think two of the greatest TV shows ever were Doctor Who episodes.

Silence In The Library was outstanding, and Blink was the best show I’ve ever seen.

Davros: “The man who abhors violence, never carrying a gun. But this is the truth, Doctor. You take ordinary people and you fashion them into weapons. Behold your Children of Time transformed into murderers. I made the Daleks, Doctor. You made this.”

OK Darvos is evil, but he's not wrong.

Yes the Doctor is anti gun peaceful resolution, but unlike US characters like MacGuyver, he doesn't always get to make the best argument.

Harriet Jones, Prime Minister (we know who you are) was right to blast the fleeing spaceship out of the sky in "Christmas Invasion". The bad guys or their associates will come back and Earth cannot rely on the Doctor showing up next time. And the show later showed what trouble the Doctor's hissy fit caused.

And even in the Classic series, the better companions (Leela, Ace, and even sweet, gentle Nyssa) often ignored the Docor's preaching and used a little violence to resolve matters.
