yep lets bring back RTD!

</sarcasm>

(Y) i've been going on a nostagia cruise through RTD era Who to feed the habit... and yikes some of that stuff was just... just plain bad. moffat era who might not be "fun", but it's quality tv. so far i can only think of 1 or 2 moffat era episodes i haven't liked, compared to 2 or 3 per series under RTD.

I haven't read anything about just a christmas special, I very much doubt BBC would go a whole year with no Doctor Who but one episode.

The way things sound, we will either be getting something like the 2009 specials but in 2012, or we will be getting the same as this year but the first half of however many episodes will be in 2012 and the second in 2013 leading up to the 50th anniversary.

I never have understood why the BBC does these sort of things. It would kill a show in America if they tried that. Just what exactly is the purpose?

Doctor Who will not be returning for a full series in 2012, it has been revealed.

The Matt Smith sci-fi drama was recently renewed for 14 new episodes, although it was also suggested that only some of the commissioned episodes would be transmitted in 2012.

BBC One controller Danny Cohen has now confirmed at the Church and Media Conference that Doctor Who will not be back for a full-length series next year.

It was later clarified that some episodes will still go out in 2012 while others will be aired in 2013, potentially as part of a "special run" of anniversary episodes.

i am not against a shorter season it means better quality episodes (Y)

I'm not too sure. I personally preferred every full season individually that DT did so far as opposed to the 4 specials. Much prefer the continuing story lines that the staggered out ones.

From the sounds of it they arent going to be shorter seasons the full season is just going to be split over 2 years.

They should just do a Torchwood style mini series with a big arc.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
