Steven Moffat has confirmed in this months Doctor Who Magazine that Season 6 will start in 1960's America, and we will be visiting the Oval Office in the White House, Washington.

"The Doctor has visited every weird and wonderful planet you can imagine, so he was bound to get round to America eventually!" said Moffat. "And of course every Doctor Who fan will be jumping up and down and saying he's been in America before. But not for real, not on location, and not with a story like this one!"

But is Kazran Sardick, the richest man in Sardicktown, beyond redemption? And what is lurking in the fogs of Christmas Eve?

The Doctor will face a clone of himself in an upcoming episode of Doctor Who.

That?s according to Unreality TV who report that:

?An army of monsters from outer space will make a carbon copy of the handsome doctor ? who is played by Matt Smith ? as they invade Earth.

?However, the Time Lord will only discover the clone when he comes face to face with himself as he investigates the alien invasion, and tries to foil the extra-terrestrial beings? plans to take over the world.

?His companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) also become confused when they can?t work out which is the real doctor and which is his double, and who they should be taking instructions from.?

The grandmaster himself, Steven Moffat, has been teasing away again, this time in the Radio Times and this is what he had to say about Series 6: ?Silence will Fall! At long last River Song will introduce herself. The true nature of the relationship between Amy Pond and her Doctor will be revealed. And, most importantly, a good man will die ? a good man, and a hero to many.?

This would appear to go back to Flesh and Stone when River Song said she killed ?a good man?the best i?ve ever known?.

So who is good and a hero to many? The most obvious would be the Doctor, but as we all know with Steven Moffat the real answer will probably be something more clever that that.

However, if the Doctor was to somehow die, it would make for the big cliffhanger we?ve been promised. We all know he?d be back, but it would get us all talking during the break.

Sorry to go against everyone but Im already bored of Moffats obsessions with everything being a fairytale. The doctors life was never a fairytale and it bugs me that we are getting these stories that look like they came from Narnia.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
