I think I've admitted here before to being "just" a casual Doctor Who fan, having grown up watching old eps here on PBS during an era when that and Star Trek TOS reruns were the only science fiction TV we had regular access to (oh, and Six Million Dollar Man, I suppose…).
Even as a casual[...]
Last week, Bleeding Cool ran this article, reporting rumours rampaging around the highest echelons of the BBC that a lot of missing episodes of Doctor Who had been found, and were planning to be released later this year.
We then ran a couple of follow ups, detailing and clarifying which episodes these were meant to be,[...]

We were promised lots for the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who But half a season made last year, a one off special and the Christmas special have left some fans annoyed, disappointed and wanting more.

So this morning, The Sunday Telegraph announced that one of the bookie's favourites, Rory Kinnear, had been offered the lead role of Doctor Who by the BBC.

Everything in the papers about Rory Kinnear being asked to be the new Doctor is 100% bollocks, just so you[...]

Yeah, okay, this might have been our fault.
When booking on the next Doctor Who opened this morning, SkyBet had Ben Daniels at 50 to 1.
Then we ran an article stating he was our favourite.

Now both Coral Bet and SkyBet have him as their favourite at 6 to 1.

And if Cumberbatch is unlikely to make series of Sherlock and Doctor Who in the same year, then Moffat would be too, and that's what he really needs – time off to get fresh.

They did seem to refer to the search for the Twelfth Doctor... but as all Bleeding Cool fans know, shouldn't that be the Thirteenth? Or more importantly... The Last Doctor.
The Telegraph have the quotes from their version of the story we ran earlier.

There was a theory that the Doctor Who: Prisoners Of Time twelve issue series, each featuring a different Doctor for the anniversary year, would do something interesting as there are only eleven Doctors… so far.
Could one feature the John Hurt Doctor? Maybe we'd see a new Doctor in the Christmas[...]

Which would indicate subsequent years to come However, from subsequent listings, that line seems to have disappeared.
IDW have a panel at this weekend's MCM London Expo Tony Lee is on the panel.
