Who's who?

I feel like the Likely Lads trying to avoid the result of the England Bulgaria match before the highlights show.

I really don't want to know that there is a new Doctor, let alone who it is. It spoils the dramatic tension, as I know he's going to regenerate soon.

So far I've been warned by two separate Maxes to avoid Saturday night TV (unlike 7 million viewers who tuned in to find out), Livejournal (out of the first 8 posts on this, only two were cut tagged), and to be wary around the Today programme.

So far I've caught a glimpse of a photo in my peripheral vision on a webcomic blog and in today's Metro, but caught the headlines, and fled both times. So I know it's someone with dark hair, who I don't recognise out of the corner of my eye.

I considered trying to avoid finding out who the Doctor was going to be but figured it was pointless. The news was going to be unavoidable.

However I do try to avoid all other knowledge about DW. I like to be surprised. We don't even watch the 'Next Week' previews at the end of the episode.

It annoys me that the BBC seem to take great pride in spoiling surprises. Such as plastering the Doctor + Darleks / Cybermen etc on the cover of the Radio Times.

Yep. I hide behind the sofa for those bits.

I was watching the season one DVDs (while wrapping prezzies), and they've got the coming next time bits on them too. So I watched them then.

I think it must be just as annoying if you've spent all episode waiting for that spectacular thing in last week's "coming next time" and it turns out to be the cliff hanger at the end of the episode. Making it a fortnight's wait. At least it was when I used to watch Mysterious Cities of Gold as a kid.
