Doctor Who
TV Show • 1963
ReportThe adventures of a Time Lord—a time-travelling humanoid alien known as the Doctor—who explores the universe in his TARDIS, a sentient time-travelling space ship. Its exterior appears as a blue British police box, which was a common sight in Britain in 1963 when the series first aired. Along with a succession of companions, the Doctor faces a variety of foes while working to save civilisations, help ordinary people, and right wrongs.

Dodo ditches the Doctor midway trhough Season 3's final story, with the Doctor only being informed later of her departure. Later, Season 8 starts off with Liz Shaw getting replaced by Jo Grant, much to the Doctor's surprise. Season 10 ends with the Doctor leaving Jo to start her new life with her new friends while he sadly drives off into the sunset. Technically, the First Romana is never shown to say goodbye to the Doctor before her regeneration, but the Second Romana doesn't leave for another season and a half (at which point she does get a quick goodbye scene).

There is deception, but no gaslighting, in the 3rd episode of the season.
KrimSteinbelt's comment labelled S20 E3 actually refers to episodes 9 through 20. (And is unhelpfully vague and broad: there is not gaslighting in every one of those 12 episodes.)

Part 2:
There's a dead rabbit carried by the hunter around 5 minutes into Part 2. The rabbit looked realistic, and it was kind of far away but moved like I would imagine a dead rabbit would, suggesting it might not have been fake. It would have been an exceptional prop for the 1970s if fake.

The N-word is used once in the series during the second part (The Hall of Dolls) of the 1966 story The Celestial Toymaker. A character played by a white actor uses the word while reciting an early version of the "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" nursery rhyme.
Like many stories from the first six seasons this story no longer exists in full so (at the time of writing) you will not see it when watching the show on streaming services or DVDs. The official release of the audio from the story includes narration over the N-word so it is inaudible. Fan-made reconstructions of the missing episode usually deliberately distort and muffle the audio so it is similarly inaudible.

The Doctor is hundreds of years old while their companions are all quite young. While there are no explicit romances between the Doctor and any of their companions, their relationships specifically with Sarah Jane Smith and Jaime McCrimmon can be read as romantic. In both of those cases, yes - there is a large age gap.

This very much depends on who you ask. Most stories have fairly tame endings, but since the show was cancelled before certain arcs could be resolved, the ending of the series as a whole could be considered sad.
