Can I request that when and if the new Doctor is announced, can we keep it a secret to those who don't want to know? Don't put the name in the announcement thread, don't mention the name in unrelated discussion, etc, etc... just a request from someone who want to keep it a surprise! (Well until DWM arrives or Stubag does his thoughts). There is just no way that that is something that can be kept secret.

Or like me trying to tape a baseball game and not know the score before I get to watch the game.

Turn off your phone, lock the door, make sure no one else is at home, then unhook your internet, and your television, and go to bed. Stay there until you think your DWM has arrived, then you can check the mailbox, but if no magazine, then go back to bed, and repeat process until the DWM arrives. That will be 25 bucks for the house call.

Yeah sure, I was just hoping we here could make some sorta effort... I dunno... I'm willing to place money that the new doctor's name will be all over the internet before any official announcement is made...But I do understand where you are comin from...

I'd say dont annouce who they've got. Just announce that they have one and you'll see them at Christmas or that they have a couple of people on the shortlist. Then when the regeneration happens, who 13 is will be a surprise It would be cool, if they could actually pull that off. The problem is, there would be a leak at some point. Its better for the BBC to announce the new Doctor on their own terms. I dont think there would be. There wasnt a leak when the surprise revealed John Hurt. That was brilliantly done

But it was treated as an unlikely rumour. A Doctor between 8 and 9? Ridiculous! That sort of thing.

I was gobsmacked when he was revealed Cheers Tony

Surprisingly info about that episode didn't leak at all as far as I can tell. The rumours about John Hurt came directly from the filming of the 50th, not the early release of the season finale. Found the page: www.giantfreakinrobot.com/scifi/doctor-rumor-john-hurts-role-50th-anniversary-special-doozy.htmlThat was a few days before the DVDs were sent out. And even if the tipster could have simply watched Name early, there's no line in that episode that explicitly says John Hurt is the ninth.

If they really aren't going to start filming series 11 until Jan 18 then it would be possible to do the regeneration without announcing who the next Doctor was in advance.

If it's a female Doctor it'll make those against it even more vocal than if it were to be announced prior to regeneration.
