Whitehouse was critical of comedians such as Benny Hill and his use of dancers; she described Dave Allen as "offensive, indecent and embarrassing" after a comic account of a conversation following sexual intercourse. In return, comedy writers during this era saw her as possessing humorous potential. The Goodies comedy team created an episode ("Gender Education", 1971) with the principal objective of irritating her. Whitehouse criticised the work of Dennis Potter from "Son of Man" (1969) onwards, arguing that the BBC was at the centre "of a conspiracy to remove the myth of god from the minds of men", and also "A Clockwork Orange" (1971). In the case of the violence in "A Clockwork Orange", she rejected any attempt to show a 'copycat' correlation in academic studies, but urged its acceptance as a fact arrived at by common sense. In December 1974, she wrote of the "deliberate propagation" of the idea that there is no proof of the effects of television on "standards and behaviour". To reject its effect, and its ability to "declaim or pervert truth, is to deny the potency of communication itself, it is crazily to question the ability of education to affect the social conscience and to train the human mind". Chuck Berry's novelty song "My Ding-a-Ling" was one of several pop songs to receive Whitehouse's disapproval in this period. She was unsuccessful in trying to persuade the BBC to ban it, but her campaign to stop Alice Cooper's "School's Out" being featured on "Top of the Pops" was successful. Cooper sent her a bunch of flowers, since he believed the publicity helped the song to reach number one. In 1977, one of the regular presenters of "Top of the Pops" in this era, Jimmy Savile, won an award from NVALA for his "wholesome family entertainment" on "Jim'll Fix It". The NVALA had around 150,000 members at its peak, but claimed 30,000 in April 1977. The "Doctor Who" series met with her heaviest disapproval between 1975 and 1977 during which time Philip Hinchcliffe produced the series. Criticising "The Seeds of Doom" (1976), in which the Doctor (Tom Baker) survives an encounter with a giant carnivorous plant monster, she commented: "Strangulation—by hand, by claw, by obscene vegetable matter—is the latest gimmick, sufficiently close up so they get the point. And just for a little variety show the children how to make a Molotov cocktail."
