The British science fiction drama came under fire after Madame Vastra and her wife Jenny locked lips in front of 7 million viewers in the UK.
Angry viewers decided to write to Ofcom as they felt the kiss was ‘inappropriate’ to have on before 9pm, the watershed in the UK. The watchdog received six complaints...
How many times!!?
If over seven million people watched the programme, then only six people complaining is statistically insignificant.
It's actually less than one in a million.
Given those odds, a monkey could have dialled Ofcom by mistake.
Probably.

Further, some people will be offended and complain about anything.
Just take a look at Twitter, it won't take a minute to find someone who's OUTRAGED and DISGUSTED by any gaiety on TV, or, say, the sandwich they just bought for lunch.
Only a provincial pearl-clutching prissy panic-mongerer would think this non-story is newsworthy.
But that's Gay Star News for you - it's like a gay Daily Mail written by naff 12 year-olds.
Update: Ofcom responds; We don't give a fuck about this either.
'Having assessed the complaints, we can confirm that they do not raise issues warranting further investigation.
'Our rules do not discriminate between scenes featuring opposite sex and same sex couples.'
Update 2: Compare this OUTRAGE to the 600 people complained to the BBC about that baked alaska thing on Great British Bake Off!

This blog is like the Daily Mail. Only the targets are different.
