Dozens of viewers are said to have lodged complaints about the sexual content of a scene shown on Saturday in which the Time Lord, played by Matt Smith, was propositioned by his assistant, Amy Pond.
The character, played by Karen Gillan, was seen kissing the doctor and attempting to undress him as he backed up against the side of the Tardis.
At one point Amy, who wears a trademark miniskirt, suggested that they could have a one-night-stand.
She also joked about how long it had been since the 907-year-old Time Lord last had sex, making suggestive innuendoes and provocatively lying down on the bed in front of him.
Some viewers posted complaints on the BBC's message boards pointing out that the episode had been aired in a peak early evening family viewing slot.
One wrote: "We expect this sort of thing from trashy US imports but not a well-respected series like Doctor Who."
Vivienne Pattison of Mediawatch UK, the standards pressure group, said: "I thought it sailed pretty close to the wind."

Too sexy for Who?
Scandal! Our new Who is too sexy! According to the good old Telegraph, it led to a host of complaints and comments on online message boards that it is 'too sexy'! Makes a change from too violent I suppose.
"The first show of the new series, broadcast on Saturday, featured a kissogram, a naked Doctor and a “sexed up” Tardis. Amy Pond, was revealed as a kissogram dressed in a skimpy policeman’s outfit, complete with mini-skirt and handcuffs. In one scene, Amy, played by the actress Karen Gillan, told the Doctor that her kissogram repertoire also included nuns and nurses’ outfits."
Worst of all, "Even the Tardis had a racy revamp, newly equipped with a walk-in wardrobe and swimming pool. Upon seeing the interior of his updated time machine, the Doctor declared: “Oh, you sexy thing.”"
Well, considering the amount of sex our society already exposes young children to, it seams pretty tame to me. Just for the record, I think we need another photo of Karen in her outfit to remind ourselves...
