I really liked David Tennant when he was first announced sadly this newbie will ruin the show, Richard Hammond would have sent their rating through the roof.

Honestly, I'll say it again.. Give the new guy a chance, no ones seen an episode with him yet. I wasn't sure on David Tennant and he become brilliant, although I hate to see him go I'll give Matt Smith a chance. Oh and stop talking about Richard Hammond, that was never going to happen, ever.

Bingo. Newspapers such as The Sun like to make up these rumours that have no basis. Every time there is a new Bond they are at it. And whoever chooses their subject really needs their head examining.

The first Doctor I remember watching was Tom Baker and I remember being really upset when Peter Davidson left...

I am sure that if Moffat is backing the new guy then all will be well - after all being named Smith he already has the right name!

I wasn't a doctor who fan until Christopher Ecclestone but now I love it and caught up with the history.

Richard Hammond? You must be kidding. He's not exactly a good actor is he? He'd definitely put my household off watching.

To be honest I worry more about Steven Moffat than Matt Smith. I wonder what direction he is going to take DW and will the quality be as good. He is an unknown quantity as a producer of DW and you never know with unknowns.

He wrote one of the best episodes yet entitled "Blink"

Moffat is only producing though (along with writing of course) not directing. I'm pretty sure they are gonna keep on using the same directors they've always been using on the show (I hope) and we all know Moffat can write some damn fine episodes. Blink, the Library two parter, Girl in the Fireplace (I think that was one of his) etc etc.

Lily Allen has emerged as the favourite to take on the role of The Doctor's assistant, reports The Telegraph.

The show's bosses are reportedly eager to hire a showbusiness name to act alongside Matt Smith, the relatively unknown actor recently revealed as the eleventh Doctor.

"Having got the casting of The Doctor out of the way, the companion role is where we will be looking next," said executive producer Piers Wenger.

"Someone terribly exciting like Billie Piper, who was at the beginning of her acting career but who had a profile for other reasons, would be great. We are looking for someone whose light can burn brightly.

"We would never cast anyone on the basis of their celebrity, but if Lily wanted to audition we would be delighted. It would be a lot of fun."

The singer was previously linked to the role in 2007, before it went to comedienne Catherine Tate.

Strictly Come Dancing stars Rachel Stevens and Kelly Brook are also reported to be in consideration for the part.

I hate Lily Allen as much as I hate her dad. He certainly is able to pull some strings in the industry though...

If it weren't for that, I'd write this off as BS. But he seems to be able to have his ****ing finger in every ****ing pie...

I know who Lily Allen is :p People in scotland know things aswell :( Even though I'm not really into her kind of music I still like a few of them, and she looks good so that's not a downside :laugh: but I can't see her as the doctor's assistant :/ The past assistants were good, but if she was one I would think she just wants attention :|

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
