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.

Most definitely in the minority on that thought. I did enjoy series 5 very much and everyone I know that watched the show did to.

Michael Sheen will voice a character in an upcoming episode of Doctor Who.

The actor's involvement in the sixth series of the BBC show was confirmed by writer Neil Gaiman - who has scripted the episode which will feature the Welsh actor.

Responding to a report which claimed that Sheen had revealed his involvement during a visit to the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Gaiman wrote: "It's true."

No details of the Underworld star's role are currently known. Suranne Jones will also feature in the episode, the fourth of the new run, as a character named Idris.

Manic Street Preachers bass player Nicky Wire recently revealed that he would like Sheen to be involved with a Doctor Who script that he is writing.

The new series of Doctor Who will premiere on April 23 on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
