</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.

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
