[Official] Doctor Who Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

Keeping your eye out for The Doctor's assistant Rappy? I can't see any of them as the doctors assistant :/

Why are they going so celebrity? No talks of Sally Sparrow! :o?

Yeah got to start the hype!

Incase you are wondering who lily allen is :p

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 :|

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
