* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Our Miss Brooks was a family show popular with children, although Miss Brooks' SeriesGoal was the very grown-up goal of marriage to LoveInterest Mr. Boynton [[spoiler: They marry in TheMovie GrandFinale]]. More seriously, the program's occasional DarkHumor, notably a few suicide jokes. One example is the DownerEnding of "Clay City Chaperone", where Miss Brooks pretends to strangle herself with a telephone cord after inadvertently causing Madison High School to forfeit the football championship. Another example is at the crisis point of TheMovie GrandFinale, where Miss Brooks jokes to Mrs. Davis about playing Russian Roulette.

Added DiffLines:
** The 60th Anniversary specials dive straight into this: ''The Star Beast'' is relatively light but still features Rose Noble, Donna's daughter, facing transphobic slurs and while her family are supportive, her grandmother is very anxious about trying to use the right words, and there's a very real fear throughout the episode that Donna will remember the metacrisis and face a horrible mental meltdown and after a RageAgainstTheHeavens moment, the Doctor is forced to activate it to save London... but thankfully, having had a daughter allows Donna to stabilise and diffuse the metacrisis. The next episode is a pure CosmicHorrorStory framed within a PsychologicalHorror that worms away at the Doctor's mental vulnerabilities and features some hefty BodyHorror from shapeshifters that aren't ''quite'' used to mimicking human/humanoid form - and that become more perfect mimics the more frightened you get, because you think faster. ''The Giggle'', meanwhile, features the return of [[spoiler: The Toymaker]], a sadistic RealityWarper straight from a CosmicHorrorStory, who cruelly unpicks the Doctor's traumas and losses over his last three lifetimes, with a mocking, "well, that's all right then!" response whenever the Doctor protests that each companion survived him in their own way and has carried on their lives, because they both know that the Doctor has not really come to terms with his grief - indeed, the entire ''point'' of the Fourteenth Doctor being an older and more tired and more open rerun of the Tenth Doctor is because of bucketloads of unresolved trauma.
