: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, . . .

Mostly, I think it's because of ratings. I've always had this idea that the three episodes the public will watch more than others are Daleks, Christmas, and regenerations. A new Doctor is a very big event (like how "''The Eleventh Hour''" was iPlayer's most requested episode.) If it happens by surprise, they'll have missed the chance to let everyone know to increase ratings. The reason Matt Smith's was announced is because of a leak, as was Eccleston's. I do think Tennant announcing it wasn't necessarily the best idea, though. In fact, if the media didn't love jumping the gun all the time, we might have actually be surprised this year. That is, unless the BBC announced it for extra ratings, which they probably would.
