💨 Abstract

The author argues that the darkest moment in the Doctor Who franchise is found in the Torchwood spin-off "The Children of Earth." The story involves aliens called the 456 demanding 10% of Earth's children to use their blood for a hallucinogenic drug. John Frobisher, a civil servant, is tasked with selecting the children, including his own daughters, to be sacrificed.
