[Official] Doctor Who Thread


Recommended Posts

A BBC spokesperson confirmed to Digital Spy: "Alex Kingston will be returning to Doctor Who in the new series featuring Matt Smith. Viewers will have to wait and see who she plays and how her character fits into the series."

Kingston is thought to be returning for a two-episode stint.

:D

She better play Professor River Song (or whatever her name is other than Professor lol) or I'll kill people!

I"ll give him a chance, people can be so cruel sometimes. People said the same thing about Tenant when he replaced Chris ??? and look how that turned out. Same when Daniel Craig became the new Bond and he nailed that role. I'm open to this guy, because it's not like Tenant was fired to get this guy in he left of his own accord.

I've actually just started watching Doctor Who about a week ago, and I've been mainlining it like mad. I'm at the end of the third series, just watched Blink. Such a creepy yet awesome episode. :laugh:

I'm currently watching Torchwood series 1 before getting to the finale of DW series 3. Mainly to get some more insight on Jack, but also because it's a cool series, and I wanted to watch Children of Earth too.

David Tennant as The Doctor was perfect.. now even the way Matt looks has me doubting him.

"Doctor Who's new look branded a fashion failure"

"More like a geography teacher on a field trip than a time lord battling aliens"

"The latest Doc seemed to have travelled back in time to the place fashion forgot"

David had the eyes, the looks, and the voice for his character. His voice and eyes said "I'm a time lord and I've seen things you can't even begin to imagine". The way he dressed for the character was good, Simple. A little wacky with wearing the converse sneakers grouped with a nice suit. Heck I would prefer to see Christopher Eccleston again out of the blue then Matt Smith. Because the more regenerations the doctor goes though, the more evil-er he gets. Right? That's why earlier on the Doctor had to stop his 13th incarnation from happening. If I remember right of-course.

Pictures of filming on Series 5 of DOCTOR WHO have thrown up some interesting points. If you have a closer look at the wreckage it states BYZANTIUM (close up below). Could this be a reference to River Song's comment to The Tenth Doctor, "Crash of the Byzantium, have we done that yet?" (SILENCE IN THE LIBRARY, 2008)

    • What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades? How outrageous!
    • Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.3 is out.
    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
