I had figured something along the same lines, but assumed that Doc and
Eileen were brother and sister.  The trouble is, the whole town would
undoubtedly know it and I find it hard to believe that the good Doctor
could have the respected position in town that he has were this the
case.  But I agree that it would be far too obvious if the secret were
that Ben is Donna's father.  It's clearly something else.
