Not much gore, nor violence, but there are scenes of war and fighting between aliens and some with the Doctor and their foes.
Many people get murdered by alien species thoughout the show. Although blood is never shown, some scenes can be pretty intense. Episodes that feature The Daleks normally have much bigger body counts, since this fictional species are presented as biologically genocidal.
Although portrayed as the protagonist, The Doctor has the highest kill count of any being in the franchise. Majority of his kills are off screen.
In most episodes there is at least a few deaths. However, for the most part, there is little to no blood or gore and the deaths are usually done in a sci-fi fantasy context with not that much realism.
Season 1 is a much darker season with the most serious portrayal of the doctor.
In the episode, "The End of Time: Part Two", the Doctor falls and crashes through a glass dome. A few scars can be scene on his face afterwards. Mildly gory.

Words like "Damn" "Hell" 'God' and "Bloody" are used rarely. "Crap" and "Ass" are hardly ever used.
There is one single use of "bastard" used by River Song, but her voice gets cut off and we're only able to lip read what she says. In another episode, Bill Potts says, "No shit," but the latter half of the word is cut off.
Missy says the phrase, "The bitch is back," in the episode 'The Witch's Familiar'. "Goddamn" is said one time in the episode 'Dalek' by a villainous character.

It can deal with themes like war, genocide, and death.
Some episodes do contain moderately intense themes, scary elements, or frightening images. While these moments occur within various adventures, nothing in the series ever becomes outright horrific.
The weeping angels have some mildly scary episodes, as they can only move when no one is looking at them... so if a person blinks... they have quite a few jumpscares.
Some episodes have jump scares and generally intense moments.
Series finales usually have very frightening scenes, (especially series 10's)
The show has a history of giving its younger audience members a bit of a scare so each season usually has one or two horror episodes. These episodes engage in effective scares and tension, but the horror never leans into anything explicit or graphic.
Blink (Series 3 Episode 10) has a very scary suspenseful scene as The Doctor apprises two characters about the Weeping Angels, and tells them how dangerous they are, and encourages them not to blink.
The Cybermen have a very dark background as they are people who have their brains trapped inside, and stripped off all emotions, as emotions would cause them to freak out so much they die. The cyberman also are relentless and near impossible to kill. They shock people to the point of death.
Some monster designs may frighten young viewers. Such as the Flood, the Weeping Angels and the Gangers.
