:Yeah, they could try and keep that stuff more under wraps, like how they did with Jenna's first surprise appearance in Asylum of the Daleks (or so I'm told). But I suppose it provides a buffer period so there isn't a major backlash from us fans. Imagine if they tried pulling something like the One-to-Two or Five-to-Six changes and have the regeneration mid-season. —[[User:BioniclesaurKing4t2|BioniclesaurKing4t2]] - [[User talk:BioniclesaurKing4t2|"Hello, I'm the Doctor.]] [[Special:Contributions/BioniclesaurKing4t2|Basically, . . .

Why is it whenever the actor who plays the doctor is leaving the show, everybody finds out well before it. WHat I mean is when the doctor regenerates, why isn't it a surprise anymore. All the actors who have played the doctor in the revived series have all had their departures made public long before they actually leave. Christopher ecclestons departure was spoiled by the bbc when the unquiet dead aired. The bbc for gods sake. David tennant told everyone I think at the end of 2008 or start of 2009, about a year before his doctor regenerated. Matt smith's departure was known from at least may to the public. I remember seeing the ninth doctors regeneration back in parting of the ways and being as gobsmacked and confused as rose was in that scene from when he started telling about it to david tennant appearing and then the cliffhanger. I was utterly shocked. I miss that surprise. Why is it when the actor who plays the doctor is leaving, the actor (i.e. christopher, david, matt etc.), the head writer (i.e. steven moffat, Russell t davies etc.) and everyone else involved in the making of the programme and their respective families cannot keep their mouths shut until the episode has aired. It would have been nice to have seen matt and jenna in the Christmas special with all the usual danger their lives have and then out of the blue something happens that injures the doctor so much he has to regenerate. Of course most people would then see by how he is reacting and what he says that he will probably regenerate but at least it would be a surprise as you would only find out in probably the last 10 or 15 minutes of the episode. Whereas like I said with the other three there was weeks, a year and six months notice prior to the switchover. Its not right. --Coop3 ☎ 17:07, July 14, 2013 (UTC)
