Well... this screams of Disney pulling the strings to cater to the American audience (whatever happened to "they're only funding it, they're not going to have any control!"?) - it's a British show, the Americans should be working around us, not the other way around.
Doctor Who is one of the few shows we watch as a family, so I either have to stay up until 2am (for the premiere at least) to watch it without being spoiled, or stay offline for a day to watch it when it airs on BBC One.
Also that trailer was... a whole load of nothing.

Something proper for Comic Relief Tomorrow God, I hope not. After Destination Skaro and Mavity I don't want to see RTD trying to be funny again. In a big change the episodes will debut on iPlayer at midnight before airing on BBC1 as normal hours later. Ha bloody ha.

International times the Eps become available Regards mark687 Illustrates quite clearly which country is the priority now. So 9AM Sydney Australia means 8:30AM Adelaide time.

A pretty ridiculous reaction to the timing announcement from UK fans over on Twitter. And it’s usually a bastion of reasoned discussion …
In Australia we had it on iview (our version of iplayer) early in the morning ahead of terrestrial broadcast in the evening for quite a few years - from series 7 at least. And always after UK broadcast, so the internet was awash w spoilers. But I think I only ever actually caught a spoiler once, and it was my own carelessness that caused it.
You’ll cope.
It’s going to drop at 9am Saturday here - and I won’t be watching then, but later in the day.
And I’ll cope too!

RTD likes 90% of the comments on his posts, even the ones criticising him, so I wouldn’t read too much into this.

As an American fan, I am baffled by this. Why didn't they just have the episodes drop in Disney+ at midnight Pacific time? Or better yet, have the episodes drop on iplayer during daytime in the UK and the same time in the US. I think the majority of American viewers would not have complained at either arrangement.

Exactly. As I read the following comment on another site: "Everyone is jumping to say this is an example of Disney exerting its influence, but most of the Disney+ stuff drops at 12AM west coast / 3AM east coast, from my experience watching Star Wars stuff on there. So I do think it more likely the BBC picked the time."

Or just keep the broadcast schedule the same as it has been. Absolutely NO NEED to change it.

To be fair the worse kept secret so far.
Could be good its been enough time away to be missed by his fans and have an angle of approach for the current audience.

It was just nice to be able to watch them the day the came out. Didn't they do something similar with Torchwood: Miracle Day, where episodes aired on Starz a couple of weeks ahead of the BBC broadcast? Does anyone recall if there was backlash for that?

Everything old is new again. For a fresh start Season 1 is feeling a little devoid of new writers aside from that pair announced a few months back. But I’m sure Moffat wouldn’t return without a decent idea in mind, so high hopes.
