11 Times Doctor Who Stupidly Spoiled Its Own Secrets

3. The Series 2 Finale Trailer Totally Gave Away The Daleks' Shock Comeback

The Secret: Fans had been promised a spectacular extravaganza with one of the Doctor's oldest adversaries, the Cybermen, in the Series 2 finale which would've been an epic enough occurrence in itself. The threat soon escalated into new realms of uncharted territory when it was revealed that the Daleks had also come along for the party and the ever persistent pepperpots made an unannounced return during the climactic final moments of Army of Ghosts. Who knew?! How It Was Spoiled: Well, if you'd watched the preceding finale trailer a bit more closely, you probably would've guessed! One fleeting shot featured an innocent civilian being exterminated on the streets and the fact that the death ray was coming from the skies suggested that it wasn't of Cyber origin. The skeleton was a bit of a giveaway, too. The shock reveal of the formidable Cult of Skaro was still pretty pulse-racing but it was all rather disappointing in the end, since the long awaited showdown between two of Doctor Who's most famous foes was overshadowed by the dominating *drama!!!1111one* encapsulating Billie Piper's highly publicised departure. The Dalek/Cyber banter was on top form, however.
