Hmmm, gonna take a bit of getting used to. Didn't like the new theme tune! The old one ruled! Also, isn't this a kids show at heart? Prime time TV and woah at the sexual innuendo! Don't get me wrong, I like the odd joke here and there but the key demographic is kids at prime time.

Overall a good performance by Matt Smith, definitely looks like a more kick ass Doctor and that'll be a fresh new start, could be a good thing! Seems we will learn a lot more about the new Doctor is the coming episodes as he was obviously a bit busy in this one! :p

Also, looks like we got a running theme, something to do with the "silence" and Amy's wedding!

Looks promising!

yeah wonder what thats about

OK so who has been smoking in the time vortex?

Very film like production which I like, the new Tardis does look a bit dodgy, especially the controls.. half of it was painted executive toys that seemed to serve no purpose or offer any control.

Other than that it was great.

Oh dear :no:

It really does look like it.

I really liked it, its different for a different doctor.

I do wish people move on from DT comparisons (not saying people are on here but on Twitter they are)

I liked a lot of it, the dodgy console spoilt the magic a little and that should have been addressed but other than that it was a good start.

I'd put him ahead of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 8th Doctors, but he's rubbish compared to Tom Baker or David Tennant, he can tell the BBC has angled Doctor Who towards its younger audience. The monster in the sky was crap tho, a flying icicle with a detachable eye ball?

I didnt realise the monsters/aliens in Doctor Who where realistic....I mean tin cans that can shoot lasers from their eye, how shoddy :whistle:

Just caught this on iplayer since i was out tonight.

Absolutely brilliant, not that I was one of those folks who were discounting Matt Smith beforehand; but it was a great mix of Tennant's Doctor and a glimpse into the crazy kickassness of his own.

All I kept thinking was "want more" and every episode should run for an hour.

Totally agree with the earlier comment about a film-like production, it honestly didn't feel like a Saturday night BBC show. And yes it dealt with some fairly scary moments and I loved Amy Pond, I loved her legs, I loved that she isn't a cop but a kissogram, I loved her innocence and that she definitely seems to be a strong-willed good actress I loved the sexual hints between them, I loved the music, I loved the writing, I loved the film style, I loved the story, yes I even thought the aliens did their part and I have a feeling they'll be back, I love the new Tardis interior and exterior, I loved that the story had funny moments but was like Shakespeare compared to what Russell Davies would write (Remember the burping trash cans??), I loved that everyone was a solid actor and got me interested, I loved the giddy excitement The Doctor showed when he finally got the new key to the Tardis, I loved that they didn't mention U.N.I.T and I loved the end sequence with the previous Doctors ending with Matt Smith to show how badass he is.

I haven't been this excited about a tv show since I started watching BSG all those years ago. Any worries that the show was dumbed down or aimed towards kids have been obliterated and I can totally see why Moffat went for Matt Smith - and that's just from the first episode!

In conclusion: Want. More.

I'll admit though that i'm not a fan of the music, in fact i'd say it's the worst incarnation of the theme yet but 'Amy Pond' more than made up for that... that is one hella pretty girly!

yeah I was amazed how the child looked exactly like her!

plus Moffat went all Abrams on us :p frakkin lens flare!

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.

      Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
