Part way through a season without announcement would be the best way to do it. Firstly, there is the element of surprise leading to a more emotionally charged moment (people like having "all the feels"). Secondly, it then means that the audience is more wary of any future danger the Doctor is in, because they won't know when he will regenerate again, since the previous regen wouldn't have been announced and wouldn't come at the most logical time (the end of the series) meaning the next one won't have to be either. This increases the sense of danger the Doctor faces, meaning the stakes are higher, meaning the episode is more powerful. And finally, having a regen part way through a series would mean the new actor would have a chance to show off what they can do ''before'' a big, end of series break, minimising the backlash from the community as they are familiarised with the new actor immediately. But I guess, at least with Matt, it was kinda hard to keep the regen under wraps considering his new hairdo for that movie he's doing!

:If there's a mid-season regeneration, everyone will probably complain that "their favorite Doctor" or something didn't get a big finale to go out on, thereby ''increasing'' the backlash regarding the departing Doctor, meaning that everyone would be too busy complaining to notice what the new Doctor was even doing. Plus, the BBC would probably "accidentally" send everyone the entire series on crystal-clear Blu-Ray before it even began airing (sorry, just had to). Or, they could have the Doctor fully regenerate into a new body just prior to a summer-long mid-season break (no "To Be Continued" while still during the golden explosion), but in a Part 2 episode after the break he could collapse and thereby undo the timeline that caused the regeneration, thereby making it entirely null and void (maybe he liked that old body better; or, it could possibly be used as an excuse to give the Doctor a female regeneration?). —[[User:BioniclesaurKing4t2|BioniclesaurKing4t2]] - [[User talk:BioniclesaurKing4t2|"Hello, I'm the Doctor.]] [[Special:Contributions/BioniclesaurKing4t2|Basically, . . .
