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.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
