Well, I woulnd't quite say that, Valium. If they were embarassed why would they have published over a hundred eighth Doctor novels? Not to mention the comics and the Big Finish audios. Everything I've seen suggests that rather than just throw all this continuity at people and have them be confused (becuase it is new viewers the Beeb is after, not just the existing fans), they're going to work up to it gradually. I rather suspect that when the next series rolls around (and I'd be surprised if there wasn't a next series), and the new viewers are more knowledgeable about Time Lords and all that, then we will see something pertaining to McGann's regeneration into CE. I can't see Russell T Davies not taking the chance to do that when the new series has gotten itself a bit more established.
