The BBC have issued more pics from the two four~minute sketches, Time and Space, to be aired as part of the Comic Relief Red Nose Day telethon on BBC One, March 18. Click on the pics for bigger, doublier versions.

ETA: Steven Moffat explains a bit more to SFX

"Two episodes. Two mini-episodes. Very, very small episodes ? maybe eight minutes in total, so that?s around four minutes each. It?s not a spoof. It?s in the style of the ones that we?ve done for Children In Need, so it?s taken seriously as a proper bit of Doctor Who ? funny, but not a sketch. A little miniature story. One?s called ?Space? and one?s called ?Time?, so they?re Space & Time. And there?s a moment with two Amy Ponds in it. If you?re a red-blooded male surely that?s enough! You?ve got Amy Pond flirting with herself.?

Wow a lot of hate on for Amy Pond/Karen.....I like the character and think Karen is doing a fine job.

I love Karen but her character Amy is a bit annoying. However, she is so lovely I'm too busy looking at her to worry about what she is saying, most of the time.

The next series of Doctor Who will premiere over the Easter weekend.

The first half of the show's sixth run will begin on BBC One on Saturday 23 April, according to Doctor Who Magazine.

The first episode, written by showrunner Steven Moffat, will also air on the same date in the US.

Supernatural actor Mark Sheppard and Jonathan Creek's Stuart Milligan will both appear in the opening two-parter, which is set in '60s America.

Subsequent episodes will include guest spots from Hugh Bonneville, David Walliams and a returning James Corden.

Writers confirmed for the series include Sherlock scribe Steve Thompson, Being Human creator Toby Whithouse and fantasy author Neil Gaiman.

After an initial run of seven episodes, Doctor Who will take a two-month hiatus and return to BBC One in September.

I wont, didnt enjoy Matts doctor at all they turned it into a Sarah Jane Adventures childish style series.

I think you're alone in that thought. Any opinions I've seen have shared the thought that the writing is more mature now than it ever was before. No more cheesiness.

Tennant is not coming back. If Smith leaves they will get someone else to be the Doctor. Besides, Tennant grew into the role of the Doctor as I suspect Smith will. He didn't do bad at all for a first season. Besides, Smith is never going to be another Tennant as his Doctor has a different personality and a different approach altogether.

I felt series 5 was pretty strong, but that's my opinion. As great as Tennant was, it was his decision to leave, so wishing he would come back are just that...wishes.

Yeah, at her worst she's still far better than Rose or Peri . . . .

+1 for Amy Pond. Was never a big Rose fan. I did enjoy the Bad Wolf arc.

I hope it's a good few years before Smith is replaced.

Various sources around the web are reporting that Episode 7 of series 6 will see the return of Jenny, the Doctor's daughter. If the rumours are correct though, we will be seeing her in her second incarnation.

As far as I am aware the main source for the rumour stems from IMDB, which is probably one of the most unreliable on the web, but the actress in question, Catrin Stewart, is listed there as a character called 'Jenny' and now rumours are rife that it will be the same character originated by Georgia Moffat.

The other explanation of course is that she will be starring and will be playing a character called Jenny, but one that is totally different.

Huge handfuls of salt are needed with this one, but just in case....

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
