I like a nice juicy trailer as much as anybody, but the plugging and additional clips of tonight's episode on this morning's BBC News is a bit over the top.

I know I could switch over....but it's hard to resist!

Still, I'd prefer to watch the episode unfold tonight - does anybody else feel the same way?

I see your point.

As much as we could turn over the channel, it is easier said than done. Once they start showing clips, I personally have to see them. Even if I didn't, it would only be a matter of time before someone blurts out the content of the clips without putting it in a spoiler. This series has certainly had a lot of pre-broadcast clips.

I agree completely.
I already commented it, just after last weeks ep.
But they add more and more scenes during the week, they're overdoing it IMO.
In my opinion, if they want to show spoilers, just retransmit the one they did directly after the show, during all of the week.

agree with all of the above.

Made my thoughts clear on this. Far too much being shown for Series 5 in my opinion.

We've just been talking about this...such is the desperate clamour for news/spoilers/pics/interviews for the next episode now that for some, when it appears, it is simply joining up the dots of what they have gleaned.

Of course The Eleventh Hour appears better than what has come since, because we had to wait four months for it, it contained a new Doctor, new Companion, new Tardis, new Title Sequence, new Theme tune notwithstanding new Exec Producer, Producers, Directors...

...but ever since then we have had three clips a week, pics, interviews, preview chats ad infinitum along with usual spoilers/rumours from all sources - is it any wonder that when DW Day arrives ach week people feel a sense of anti-climax? Most have already written, Directed and starred in the episode before it has aired and are talking about what will be in the "Next Time..." trailer before coming on here to complain that watching it has spoilt things for them.

I am madbusy with work at the moment, so have not spent as much time rottling round on the interweb as in past years ... but I still think there are far fewer spoilers than in past years.

I have recorded a few bits of telly (news, BBC Brekker, the Dalek feature on Sat morn), but not watched them til after. I don't even know the episode titles for much of the year: bought RT but not got round to reading it. I don't read the DWM previews til after I have seen the episode (will read the Dalek one in the bath tonight).

I know the Weeping Angels and River Song are back for 2 eps, but don't know anything else about those eps. I know the Silurians are back. I've seen a Cyberman in a trailer. i know Meera Syal is in it at some point, and James Corden. i know it ends at Stonehenge. I haven't seen photos of much location stuff. I don't know much guest cast stuff or episode titles.

Everything seems so fresh! In past years, full casts have been available for weeks in advance. Every episode title has been known way in advance. There have been pap pics in all the papers and online. Far, far less this year. It's a treat to come to DW anew, as I felt I knew too much about past peisodes befroe they were shown.

Three clips a week? Are they on the BBC website or the Red Button, or soemthing like that? I haven't seen them.

I have not been searching for spoliers (mainly cos I am too busy), and spoilers have not been unavoidable unlike past years.
