Matt Smith as a huge mountain to climb, the makers of Doctor Who should not have made sign a five year contract before he's even done one episode. I personally think he'll be one of the worst yet, the details we've had on what his persona will be like made him sound like he'll be like the 6th Doctor, oh joy.

Haven't the producers said multiple times they would never have a female doctor because it was specificially mentioned in the older series that there couldn't be one?

And Catherine Tate as the 1st female doctor? Ehhhh, no. Honestly I'm shocked more people liked Donna than Martha (K9 was more popular!).

And man, do I remember Tom Baker's Doctor. That darn scarf! I'll always remember his regeneration into Peter Davison (which is David Tennant's first memory of DW also yay).

I liked Donna better than Rose and Martha. Donna could be annoying at times but she brought out the best in the Doctor. She wasn't in love with him and she wasn't in awe of him. She knew exactly when he was going too far and she reined him in. Donna and Wilf seem to be able to bring him out of that shell he has surrounded himself with since coming through the Time War. He would actually talk with them.

I agree as well. But from what I remember people posting on here, it was just kinda odd the British public at large liked Donna more than Martha - considering many people on Neowin hated Donna when she took over lol

I was always a Donna fan :p

Catherine Tate was part Time Lord, kind of breaks the rules really.

You were not. :D

when they announced her I hated the choice because when I thought tate I thought this chavvy school kid saying "am I bovvered" but when she appeared on the screen she was quite cool

No, there can be female Time Lords, but not a female Doctor. I don't remember the exact reasoning that was given many years ago but it was more than likely just as simple as he was born a man and can only regenerat into other men lol not a woman.

This. Every episodes that involved the Daleks, thus far, were quite epic, that had me on the edge of the seat. I'd definitely want to see more of the Daleks.

Personally, I think the show would do well to avoid Daleks for a while. They're being used way too much and their last 2 story arcs were absolutely terrible. Same goes for the Cybermen.

Having seen the trailer for the next series, the Daleks are definitely back, so I hope they at least put away the Cybermen. I'm sure Moffat can come up with some really great villains.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
