According to The Times, the broadcaster received complaints after Matt Smith exclaimed "I'm still not ginger" among his first words as the new Doctor.
One mother reportedly said: "I think it is totally inappropriate for The Doctor to make fun of people with ginger hair - it is a programme children watch and I think it will encourage bullying."
However, a BBC statement read: "We've received complaints from viewers who believed a line in Doctor Who: The End of Time was insulting to people with ginger hair.
"We would like to reassure viewers that Doctor Who doesn't have an anti-ginger agenda whatsoever."
It continued: "This was a reprise of the line in 'The Christmas Invasion' episode in 2005, when David Tennant discovers that he's not ginger, and here he is, missing out again - disappointed he's still not ginger.
"In addition, the Doctor's previous companion Donna Noble [Catherine Tate] and his new one Amy Pond [Karen Gillan] are both redheads."
