A hell of a lot of death for a Christmas story, was quite shocked! The preview, seeing tate player her "Bovvered" thing ("Why you say miss? Do I look single?") ****ed me off to no end - she could turn a lot of people off the new franchise.

officially it's Series 4

On the BBC internal documents, they refer to it as series 4. On the clapperboards it is referred to as series four. It's like DrWho 2.0 Series 4 ;)

BBC bosses are so confident in Doctor Who that they are making an episode without him in it.

Instead, the Time Lord?s three female assistants ? Rose, Martha and Donna ? take the starring roles.

The shock twist comes after the Doctor, played by David Tennant, gets lost in space.

His faithful sidekicks ? played by Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman and Catherine Tate ? are left to take control of the Tardis as they battle to save the world from an alien invasion.

An insider on the show?s top-secret Cardiff set said: ?The chemistry between the three assistants is electric. It is so strong that we realised the doctor could be in danger of getting in the way.

?So it is left to the girls to sort things out, having to save civilisation and the Doctor himself.?

Former assistants Billie, 25, and Freema, 28, will team up with the Doctor?s new companion Catherine, 39, for the one-off episode towards the end of the next series. It will be screened in March.

The insider added: ?It is a bit of a gamble having Doctor Who without the Doctor ? it has never been done before. But everyone is so interested in the different assistants that it should be fantastic.

?Donna, Martha and Rose are all competing for his attention in different ways and all want to be the best.

?But the question will be, can they work together??

Season 4 of Doctor Who looms, and the titles of the first two episodes have been released!

Episode One: Partners in Crime - Written by Russell T. Davies

Episiode Two: The Sontaran Stratagem - Part One of Two written by Helen Raynor.

Also, Georgia Moffett will be guest starring.

Georgia Moffett, the daughter of Fifth Doctor Peter Davison, will guest star in Series Four of Doctor Who.

Georgia originally auditioned for a role in Gareth Roberts' Agatha Christie episode, but so impressed the production team that she was offered a much more exciting part in another episode, currently filming in Cardiff.

Additionally, two episode titles have been announced. Episode one, written by Russell T Davies, will be called Partners In Crime, whilst episode four has been named The Sontaran Strategem. It's the first of a two-parter by Helen Raynor.

British actors Alex Kingston and Colin Salmon are set to star in the next series of Doctor Who.

Alex, best known for her roles in ER and Moll Flanders, will star in a Steven Moffat penned two-parter as River Song - a mysterious character who meets The Doctor on an expedition to uncover the secrets of an abandoned library.

She's joined by James Bond regular Colin Salmon, who also stars in the two episodes.

Alex said: "I used to watch Doctor Who through the crack in the door. I was so terrified but I couldn't tear myself away. I loved it so much and I'm so delighted to be a part of the new series."

Award-winning actress Catherine Tate is reprising her role as Donna, the runaway bride, and will star as The Doctor's companion throughout the new series alongside David Tennant as the Time Lord.

The first episode of the eagerly awaited new series will witness Donna tracking down The Doctor during an alien emergency in modern day London.

Further guest stars already confirmed to appear this time around include Sarah Lancashire, Felicity Kendal, Lesley Sharp, Georgia Moffett, Lindsey Coulson, Fenella Woolgar, Tim McInnerny, Peter Capaldi, Phil Davis and Tracey Childs.

The fourth series of Doctor Who is now in production and will hit BBC One in Spring 2008.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
