[Official] Doctor Who Thread


Recommended Posts

First - AWESOME episode. I loved it, and can't wait to see how it ends this Friday.

Secondly, uh, isn't Jason Statham like, American? I mean, sure that isn't such a problem if he can do a Britsh accent, but come on, Doctor Who is British for god's sake. Unless I'm wrong and Jason is actually from the UK (or Europe in general and can do the accent properly?)

I just honestly cannot see anyone replacing David. He's been the best doctor yet by far, even more so than my former favorite Mr. Scarf man himself. I just really can't see anyone else in the role now. Then again I felt the same way about Pierce Brosnan as Bond (not that he was awesome in the role, but I liked him) and Casino Royale was a damn fine Bond movie. (Plus, I thought Timothy Dalton was an awesome Bond, but what do I know?)

No... he was born in London he's actually played some great roles in English(London) based movies :woot:

Plus I have not seen a translator anywhere and really its not important to the episode at the moment, take it on face value they were going to attack Doctor and Donna but didn't when he quoted that so its like a password or passphrase.

I have a feeling it will be Rose as Dalek Caan predicts death to "The Doctors most faithfull companion" and I see no reason why that would be Donna.

Surely the most faithfull companion is K9 (a Time Lord's best friend!)?

The wasn't the last episode of the season was it? Seems odd he's regenerating mid-season.. unless he's not going to show up next episode.

Not the first time there has been a mid-series regeneration - The Tenth Planet was the second story of series 4 and saw the First Doctor's renewal into the Second Doctor...

They put him up there because of how quirky he was in Jonathan Creek.

Which is rumoured for a comback this Xmas - he may be too busy to take over...

...He's been the best doctor yet by far, even more so than my former favorite Mr. Scarf man himself.

Sacrilege! Tom Baker is the best doctor, ever :(

LOC may have meant Sylvestor McCoy who also had a scarf... :p

Remember that another David, who also shares a pretty similer name as a Neil from Men Behaving Badly, stars in the christmas episode. Now I'd love him as a full time doctor.

Alan Davis won't be bad, the xmas ep for his show is probably filming at the moment. He could do a run for a few years.

Just watching some show on BBC2 with Graham Norton, and James Nesbitt more or less confirmed that he won't be the next doctor.

Catherine Tate said that the Doctor is definitely regenerating at the end of the last episode.

Its clear he is just healing with regard to the christmas special which daily mail spoiled.

Good point.

Came across this on Youtube, haven't seen it before. Some funny parts in it.

The BBC have just announced that after tonight's showing of The Weakest Link, they will cease broadcasting forever. All scheduled programming after that will be moved to their pay for service online.

Woo Hoo! TV License Refund Galore! :D

I wish they would stop airing Weakest Link that and Deal or No Deal they have now well past their good times.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
