Ah, I was really hoping we'd only find out in the last 5 minutes of the Christmas episode. Suppose a surprise is impossible, these days....

It's never been possible any other previous day, either.

Every change of Doctor - every single one, from Hartnell-Troughton onward - has been announced and publicised well in advance.

Yeah but missing Pebble Mill at Ones annoucement was easier back in the day!

There's an episode of The Likely Lads right there.

Intriguing female would be Dr who's list here. It's Mojo which some users might find a bit trite.

What a beautiful day for swearing at a sailor
and saying, "how's that for a tar-dis?"

Well BBC ruined it with the Master and Cydermen in the trailer!

Filming for the next series will start before Christmas, which will more than likely involve filming in public. It'd be impossible to keep the actor's identify a secret by the Christmas special. That's why they revealed the return of the original Cybermen.
They still ballsed it up with the Master though.

Not really. It was supposed to be a secret, but once it leaked there was no point in pretending otherwise.

But if you don't follow social media and fan sites, a viewer who just watches the show on TV would be none the wiser - no need to ruin it for everyone. I would have been pleasantly surprised by both if they hadn't been on the trailers.

As for the new doc - please, anyone but Kris Marshall- seems a nice guy but totally wrong for this

I managed to miss all the furore in the press at the time so was genuinely surprised when Dr Ecclestone thrust his head back and spouted orange fireworks at the end of the first revived series.

A genuinely impressive feat given that Eccleston's departure was massive national news in between the broadcasts of episodes 1 and 2 of that season. On this form, you will have no trouble avoiding the publicity surrounding number 13 ;)

A lot of the time spoilers are basically indistinguishable from marketing. There was no way the BBC were going to let John Simm's return be a surprise, because then all the people who would have tuned in especially to see it would not have known to bother.

Some episodes (and films) are well-crafted to provide a surprise, but are completely ruined by in-show trailers, or in the case of the first series episode 'Dalek', the word 'dalek' appearing at the beginning...

I managed it - I just needed to a) not have a TV and b) not read newspapers.

It was leaked because they put the Master in the season trailer at the press screening for The Pilot - they could've kept him out and then The Sun wouldn't have had something to spoil...
