Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Myopic Sniper" data-source="post: 8635368" data-attributes="member: 55013">Yeah, my friends in Cardiff said they saw David Tennant in town last week so it wasn't totally unexpected (and honestly I think we all figured that David Tennant would figure into a 60th anniversary headed by RTD in some way).I am glad that they got Ncuti's announcement out a week before this so he had the DW media cycle to himself for that time. I actually think that RTD will have far more input into marketing that one might guess if his last go-round is any indication.  I know some fans were upset that there wasn't a full blown Doctor reveal on BBC-1 like they did for Smith, Capaldi and Whittaker. But I think the roll-out on Instagram and into the BAFTA red carpet seemed to get a lot more buzz among younger folks than I expected. Maybe we will get some Confidential-like material on YouTube, Twitch and TikTok going forward. The official Doctor Who online video stuff the past couple of years really missed the mark in terms of what I think fans wanted. A whole lot of short clips of Whittaker, Bishop and Gill playing pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey type party games to promote Flux on YouTube rather than behind the scenes footage or minisodes like they had done in other eras. We will see what happens, but I imagine Bad Wolf will do a huge push on publicity compared to what BBC Studios has done the last couple of years. My question is why they went so purposely low-key. I am not sure why stuff like the return of Captain Jack in Fugitives of the Judoon wasn't all over the trailer for that season. That wasn't even the real secret of that episode.</blockquote>
