Fear Forecast was a feature on the Doctor Who website during series 1, 2, 3 and 4. Intended as an advisory for parents, the reactions of the four "Fear Forecasters" were described in detail, minute-to-minute, for each new episode. It was launched on 21 April 2005 and the first episode they previewed was TV: World War Three.
The team of children rated each episode's "Fear Factor", usually from 1 to 5 (notable exceptions being Blink and The Impossible Planet). 2 was Quite Scary, 3 was Very Scary, 4 was Chilling, and 5 was Terrifying.
Typically a preview Forecast would be added during the mid-week website update (usually on Wednesdays). This version did not contain screenshots and had any spoilers redacted; then after each episode had transmitted the full Forecast would be revealed.
== Series 1 ==
The highest Fear Factor score in series 1 was for The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances, both episodes unanimously "Terrifying".
In addition to previewing the episodes, the Fear Forecasters also visited and reviewed the Doctor Who Exhibition at Brighton Pier.
