I wonder if there was a show in the '60s or '70s. Let alone, being a hit. Given, this present one is hard to follow.

Think about how well Dr Who will align with the upcoming anniversary of the old series.
Some opportunities for cross-promotion, I would think.

Wasn't it Dr. Who's 50th anniversary 2 years ago?

I wonder how long it would take to watch every episode in one sitting

You can't watch them all. Many of the early episodes were erased by the BBC to reuse the videotapes in the 70's.

DVD release is the big thing this year apparently, according to [MENTION=134]shutyertrap[/MENTION]

Oh, this one released in 2013?
What other 50th anniversary is there? Remembering the death of JFK that happened the day before Dr Who aired?
Perhaps it's some other 50th anniversary that has nothing to do with Dr Who, as 52nd anniversary doesn't have the same ring.

I think I had said it would have been good to tie it in with 50th anniversary, but they missed that boat. Having it at start of season, or even in time with the holiday special would have been acceptable. Instead it's going to happen during hiatus when it's not on anyone's mind? Or at best in time with the DVD release of this season? One of these times FS will learn how to harness cross promotion and timing of events.

The thing is... promotion costs money, and it's not clear to me that they'd make more money from that kind of promotion than it would cost. Maybe it would... I'm not sure how to tell. I suppose the fraction of the Doctor Who audience that are potential purchasers of its TPA table is vanishingly small. Certainly the BBC wouldn't spend any money on that. I'm curious though if you have anything specific in mind, like a TV commercial for TPA airing during the show?

Quite right SYT, but I'd just add that potentially an approach could have been made to the BBC a while ago in an effort to improve the timing as you point out.
The BBC is really just waking up to commercial possibilities. Shows are made now that are clearly designed for commercial television and for export particularly to the US, but I feel this is still in its infancy. Other digital markets outside of DVD and Blu Ray haven't been tapped and as far as Pin tables are concerned, I doubt wether the current breed of management have such properties and markets on their horizon at all.
I would suggest the BBC are now looking intensely at additional revenue streams as they have a huge hole in their finances after the Top Gear saga. This KS could be seen as the BBC dipping its toe into an entirely new market. Maybe we'll see the cost reflected on the cheaper side rather be seen as extortionate.
Hopefully it will be a huge success.

Yea...I remember reading (in the BBC website) that they were (are) presently looking into a good deal of future propaganda for America/British 'get togethers'.

I think it would be wise for FS to at least approach the BBC about running a story about the KS. It can't hurt.
