think he will always be marred by this dreadful "big reveal" with Zoe whatserface from Strictly desperately trying to stir up enthusiasm for an entire hour. Seriously? Could they not have just done the reveal at the end of the Christmas episode?
I didn't even watch it - and it still annoyed the hell out of me.
The reveal show was naff but there's no way they could have kept the casting under wraps till Christmas.. filming in Cardiff where everyone has mobile phone cameras and and internet connection.
Peter Capaldi is one of my all time favourite actors and I think he'll be great but I'd have been happy with a simple press conference!
I didn't watch it, either. Doctor Who is one of the BBC's top earners, worldwide. That and the existence of the fandom phenomenon is proof that people are interested. So they make the most of it, I guess. But the comparison to the birth of a royal baby is a good one - far, far too much hype. In fairness, not all of it generated by the BBC
