Well we had jolly well better be because the Entitlement Police will be along any minute to remind us this is all part of a great strategy that we just don't understand and that we should be thankful for the scraps that are tossed our way.

The BBC would've been better not doing anything. That's just wound me up again about the paucity of material.

Go on Microsoft paint. Write #Save the Day in tacky gold/caramac font and then imagine Matt Smith mumbling something about it being the day of the doctor. That's it.

I'm just wondering, do you think whoever wrote this on the official website had seen it? I don't think that had much repeat value!

Also. The whole hash tag thing is crass and tacky. Most viewers don't care about Twitter. We don't want some flash in the pan social media cross over rubbish. We want a decent episode. And a bloody trailer for it.

BBC America isn't even showing Altantis. We don't get that either.

Nope. Just part of the empty PR blather machine which was also responsible for lying about the shoe taking over TV and also claimed a trailer would be imminent after Comic Con. Its media studies GNVQ level stuff.

There is no defense for this, really. Though I hope the next teaser(s) will be more in this vein...

I don't know. Doctor Who fans with their sense of entitl.....no, perhaps not. (only caught it cos I was watching SCD for Mark Benton. I lead an exciting life. )

See, that was exactly my point. As a teeny tiny tease, something just to get the ball rolling and pique a little interest, it was fine.

But to announce it, to suggest people should make a point to watch it, that was ridiculous.

see. That's only ten seconds but a worthy ten seconds. Also see how The Avengers 2 managed an effective and striking teaser before they have even filmed a single scene! Day of the Doctor is in the can already! I am sure once we get some proper material it'll be fantastic but this is piss poor so far.

Oh salad, you've made me laugh with that! I'm trying to give it a chance, but that was far too close to the truth.

quite. Critical as I have been if that had been quietly slipped into the advertising schedule and I saw it by surprise I would've been like 'Oh cool. Finally. Something. A bit rubbish. But still!'

But to have hyped that up appointment viewing knowing alot of fans will be waiting for it is just a bit cheeky.

Totally agree. Goodness me, I can imagine the BBC One social media person starting to brick it after today... All we need is one 5 second shot of Matt and David acting together and we'll probably mostly be satisfied!

See its funny when people tall about entitlement. Because I always find as fans we are pretty happy with any scraps we get. Just a few seconds of footage would get many views from me. I don't expect a two minute cinema trailer extravaganza. But there are limits. And that 'sting' looked tacky and all a bit 'well this will do for a few more weeks eh guys?'. Erm no. No it won't.

Thanks, I can stop watching canoe bloke now (the sounds was already off, I gave up).

I rate that as an improvement, just because it's the original music. Think positive!
