Okay, now that one is good.

Is that Matt Smith doing the voice over? He sounds strange...

Now that I've watched it twenty or so times, I think it deserves to be reappraised.

It's a surprisingly subtle piece. It's minimalist nature encourages us the viewer to consider how we feel about the 50th and reflect upon our own memories. The simplistic nature of the font, it's geometry and composition invites us to remember the many titles and logos that have adorned the show since it began, our entry point to the adventure that follows.

It's very simplicity makes the whole approach more intimate and personal. The sparse voiceover does nothing to disturb our enjoyment, but invites us to participate and share our thoughts. It's no longer just the 50th anniversary of the show, it's the 50th anniversary of us watching the show.

It is a masterpiece.

And to cap it all, the trailer for the new series of HIGNFY just featured more Who related stuff than both of those teasers combined.

Do you work in or are studying marketing by any chance?

It is a lovely theme.

Have I Got News For You promo - best part of the night, though.

I dunno if it's just my vivid imagination, but it kinda sounds like a mash up of Tennant's and Smith's voices to me.

Brilliant.

If you squint really hard at the writing on the epic teaser you can make out a reflection of Smith punching out Simm's Master on a cliff top....and a Spider Dalek....

It's also a lovely shade of gold....mmmm mmm.

Bleh.

America should thank it's lucky stars. Salad is spot on.

That's an evening wasted. Bloody useless Strictly for ten minutes so I won't miss the bloody useless teaser, or sting, or whatever it was, bloody awful Atlantis.

I'm a bit miffed.

Me and my partner laughed at the date when it said 4th October 2063 as that's my birthday and I'll be 81 that day

This is no doubt all part of the master plan. Its planting a seed in peoples minds using subtle and non subtle iconography that reminds people that Doctor Who exists but makes sure they don't spoil themselves and get all over excited. After all if the fragile minded TV audience were to see even a few frames of Tennant and Smith and Hurt it would mean interest would peak too early and basically no one will watch the actual episode. This is pretty much fact.

Aha. And the BBC press offices chief apologist has been dispatched.

I study a special course that's one third Don Draper two thirds Pseuds Corner.

Oh I'm having lots of fun. The last few weeks have been as sad as they have been entertaining.

And I missed that, because I was so miffed I turned TV off after the second teaser.

No one at the BBC has anything to apologise for. They delivered exactly what they told you they were going to deliver.

What's saddest is your refusal to accept that just because you are happy having been given bugger all alot of other people would have liked a bit more.

Instead you turn up everytime anyone expresses that opinion telling them to be patient. Why should we? It was you after all who seemed quite confident the BBC would release the Comic Con trailer. Where is that exactly two months later?

That SHIELD thing was rubbish as well. I should have gone down the pub.

It's not what they showed, it's that they hyped them up as something you'd want to be watching again and again over the next two months.

If they'd appeared without any fanfare, well, there'd still be complaints because this is Doctor Who after all but there'd be a lot less of them.

Did they really deliver something you'd want to "...watch for weeks after they air!"?

Actually scrub that, I forgot who I was talking too.

It was sod all, but it was heavily promoted sod all! I make no apologies for my lack of despair.

All TV is rubbish apart from Doctor Who, Sherlock, Homeland & Game of Thrones. That's not even my opinion. That's fact. If you're going to go around watching other TV shows then you have only yourself to blame

I think that those teasers were the things that were better left as a surprise... there wasn't enough substance in them to warrant advertisement.

Funny, they're actually advertising 5-second stings! It's like entering a ballot for the opportunity to actually pay money to go to an official convention. Oh wait...
