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 :|

    • AMD 9070XT

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.

      I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
