** Any time there are reasonably knowledgeable alien life forms in the show, we wait eagerly for them to realise that this is ''that'' Doctor.
** Done to powerful emotional effect in the episode "Vincent And The Doctor". The episode features the Doctor meeting Vincent van Gogh, who is portrayed as full of self-doubt and insecurity. After the [[Monster of the Week]] has been defeated, the Doctor takes Vincent to the Musee D'Orsay in the present day, and leads him up to the van Gogh collection. There, he asks a tour guide, in earshot of Vincent, where he thinks van Gogh rates in the history of art.
{{quote| '''Mr Black''': Well... big question! But to me, van Gogh was the finest painter of them all. Certainly he is the most popular great artist of all time. The most beloved. His command of colour the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. To portray pain is easy, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world... no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world's greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.}}
* ''[[Supernatural]]'' first reveals to the audience that Sam's been powering up by drinking demon blood. Dean is the ''last'' person to know.
* ''[[Fringe]]'': Peter finding out that he is {{spoiler|Walter's [[Replacement Goldfish]] from the [[Alternate Universe]]}}. The reveal to the audience happens at the end of the first season, but once Olivia figures it out in the middle of the second, the audience knows it's only a matter of time until the beans are spilled, and the writers milked it for all the tension they could. Peter's reaction to the reveal does not disappoint (well, it may have been a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] for some people, but it was so worth the wait).
