| - Mary Whitehouse frequently singled out Doctor Who for its violence and frightening scenes, most notably in Genesis of the Daleks where she complained about the Nazi-themed Kaleds and in The Deadly Assassin, where she took a dislike to the third cliffhanger, in which the Fourth Doctor was apparently drowned. The novel PROSE: Time of Your Life features Miriam Walker, a character based on Mary Whitehouse.
- She was killed by Philip Hinchcliffe and Robert Holmes, though her death brought about the end of the First Golden Age of Doctor Who.
- Her career began when she successfully lobbied to ban The Flintstones from television. Her complaints against the show were various:
* Wilma Flintstone's skirts were too short;
* the words "Yabba dabba doo!" reminded her of sexual acts;
* stone wheels implied stoned wheelies;
* the show was in colour;
* the characters did not wear shoes whilst driving cars;
* she didn't like the producer's middle name;
* Barny Rubble's eyes seemed to follow her around the room;
* her television smelled of ozone;
* and her feet ached in the evenings (probably due to the fifth complaint). Needless to say the BBC were slit up a treat, and dumped The Flintstones like a box of radioactive cat doo.

She also objected to the use of the word "Begat" in Genesis 12:7b where it referred to Harold Wilson, prime minister at the time. Nevertheless she was a staunch Christian and often volunteered to explain to preschool children exactly what God meant in Isaiah 3:17 when He said He would "discover" the "secret parts" of the daughters of Zion. "Oh," she told one interviewer, "I just love to watch the little girls' faces when they hear that the Lord God will thrust his huge hairy fingers into their panties if they don't behave. Serves 'em right, the filthy cocksucking five-year-old bitches."
- She was killed by Philip Hinchcliffe and Robert Holmes, though her death brought about the end of the First Golden Age of Doctor Who.
