Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: David Bradley Is First Doctor

pjnihhvp.jpg

The BBC has announced an impressive cast for An Adventure In Space And Time, the BBC docudrama about the creation of Doctor Who back in the early 60s, which will form part of Doctor Who?s 50th Anniversary celebrations.

Harry Potter?s David Bradley (Argus Filch) will portray William Hartnell, the first Doctor. Bradley appeared in Doctor Who last year as Solomon in ?Dinosaurs On A Spaceship? (and what a great performance that was). Intriguingly, he will be playing the role aged 70, whereas William Hartnell was a mere 55 when he first played the Doctor.

Former Hannibal Lecter Brian Cox will play the BBC?s Head of Drama Sydney Newman, who is credited with the creation of the show, while Doctor Who?s first producer, Verity Lambert, will be played by Call The Midwife?s Jessica Raine. Waris Hussein, the director of Doctor Who?s first ever episode ?An Unearthly Child?, will be played by Sacha Dhawan (History Boys, Last Tango In Halifax).

An Adventure in Space And Time has been written by Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Doctor Who), while the director is Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad, The Street). It will air in November to coincide with Doctor Who?s 50th anniversary.

?I?m absolutely thrilled,? says Bradley. ?I first heard about this role from Mark [Gatiss] while watching the Diamond Jubilee flotilla from the roof of the National Theatre. When he asked if I would be interested, I almost bit his hand off! Mark has written such a wonderful script not only about the birth of a cultural phenomenon, but a moment in television?s history. William Hartnell was one of the finest character actors of our time and as a fan I want to make sure that I do him justice. I?m so looking forward to getting started.?

Gatiss added, ?What a cast! I?m utterly delighted that everyone?s favourite Time Lord will be in such brilliant and stellar company. We have a terrific team who can?t wait to tell the fascinating and surprising story of how the Doctor began his journey through Space and Time.?

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: Adventure In Space And Time Filming Begins, Susan Cast

As filming commences on An Adventure In Space And Time, the drama about the creation of Doctor Who written by Mark Gatiss, the identity of the the actress who?ll be portraying Carol Ann Ford (who played Susan, the Doctor?s granddaughter Susan) has been revealed.

She is newcomer Claudia Grant who, ironically (as Doctor Who News points out) is represented by the agency run by William Hartnell?s real-life granddaughter Jessica Carney!

The first day?s filming took place in the lobby of BBC Television Centre itself, which had been redressed to resemble a BBC Club. Day two?s filming was on Wimbledon Common, where a Police Box prop was spotted during the day.

Doctor Who executive producer Caro Skinner has confirmed the rumours that a classic series monster will be returning.

Skinner told SFX: "We?ve got the most fantastic episode by Mark Gatiss, where we are bringing back the Ice Warrior? on a submarine! It?s a really wonderful kind of ?bunker? episode, and a classic monster which Mark has brought his own inimitable twist to."

The exec added: "Mark is an enormous fan of the Ice Warrior stories and came up with the idea. The sense of a monster of that scale and that size trapped in a really small, contained environment such as a submarine was a really brilliant story to be able to tell ... Letting a huge Ice Warrior loose at the heart of a classic Hunt For Red October style submarine movie was exactly the kind of story that the Doctor should get mixed up in."

Apparently titled 'The Cold War', the episode is directed by Douglas Mackinnon and guest stars David Warner (The Omen) and Liam Cunningham (Merlin).

Steven Moffat previously teased: "Prepare to shiver in terror and gasp along the lines of ?Oh my goodness, is that a???"

The Ice Warriors were last seen in 1974?s 'The Monster Of Peladon'.

The BBC Press office has just tweeted that the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special will be broadcast in 3D.

According to the BBC press site in an article about BBC Drama chief Ben Stephenson?s plans: ?As part of the BBC?s blockbuster celebrations to mark the Doctor turning 50, fans will be able to see the Time Lord and his adventures like never before ? in 3D! To be broadcast using some of the BBC?s HD capacity, Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer, said: ?It?s about time. Technology has finally caught up with Doctor Who and your television is now bigger on the inside. A whole new dimension of adventure for the Doctor to explore.?

This actually won?t be the first Doctor Who special to be broadcast in 3D ? that honour goes to ?Dimensions In Time?, the (appalling) charity crossover with EastEnders for Children In Need in 1993 (the show?s 30th anniversary).

Russell T Davies turned down 'Doctor Who' return, says Steven Moffat

Russell T Davies has turned down repeated offers to return to Doctor Who, Steven Moffat has claimed.

The sci-fi drama's current showrunner revealed, in an interview conducted at LA's Gallifrey 2013 convention, that his predecessor wants "a nice long rest" from the series.

"I do keep asking him [to write a new episode]," Moffat insisted. "The offer is continually made and I'm getting nowhere!"

Moffat added that he would have Davies - who served as Who's head writer between 2005 and 2010 - back on the show "like a shot", calling the Welsh scribe "the best writer breathing".

"I think he probably did his duty? for Doctor Who so he's maybe wanting a nice long rest from it," Moffat acknowledged.

Davies previously ruled out the possibility of returning to Doctor Who for the show's 50th anniversary this year.

"I have asked current boss Steven Moffat not to tell me what they are planning," he said, adding that he wants to enjoy the celebrations as a fan.

Doctor Who will return to BBC One with a new eight-episode run from Saturday, March 30.

Ray Cusick, the designer of infamous Doctor Who villains the Daleks, has died aged 84.

The BBC reports that he passed away on Thursday (February 21) of heart failure, according to his daughter Claire Heawood.

During his time at the BBC, Cusick was responsible for set design on the long-running science fiction show, and created the first versions of the extraterrestrial race for the second episode of the original 1963 series of Doctor Who, featuring William Hartnell as The Doctor.

He later went on to speak about the Daleks' design and how they were developed in a 2008 episode of Doctor Who Confidential.

After retiring as an art director for the BBC, Cusick contributed to several specialist magazines on the subject of battles from the Napoleonic era.

He leaves behind two daughters and seven grandchildren.

Doctor Who's Steven Moffat has revealed details of the show's upcoming episode 'Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS'.

The writer revealed that the instalment will contain "great visuals" and that new sets have been built especially for the episode, Radio Times reports.

"We've built the rest of the TARDIS!" Moffat enthused.

He continued: "The idea is in the title; we're going to journey to the centre of the TARDIS. We've got some great visuals for that."

Ashley Walters, who guests star in the episode, added: "In our episode it'll be the first time people get to see so much of the TARDIS."

Are they not mistaking on the first Doctor? Was not Jon Pertwee the Doctor in the movies before the series? I have an Doctor Who Mag that talks about the movies and Jon being the first Doctor and the movies before the series.

WTF?

Jon Pertwee was one of the Doctors in the series (the third), Peter Cushing was the Doctor in both movies (I don't count the 1996 "movie" as a movie, cos it was awful)

Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. (1965)

Dr. Who and the Daleks (1966)

"..the first episode of the very first serial, was transmitted at 5.15 pm on 23 November 1963"

So William Hartnell was, indeed, the first Doctor, pre-dating both movies.

I think the first two doctors were a little under rated. Patrick Troughton was fun to watch... but when I was a kid we did not get to see all of his episodes. I watched all the Pertwee and of course the Baker episodes when I was young. I thought Peter Davidson was... alright but never that good. I did NOT like Colin Baker. At all. Sylvester McCoy was good... but by that time I rarely got to watch Dr. Who and I missed 90% of the McCoy episodes until the reboot this century.

    • 7 Days: Killing uBlock Origin bypasses, Euro Office faces fire, and will AI replace you?

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      7 Days: Killing uBlock Origin bypasses, Euro Office faces fire, and will AI replace you? by Aditya Tiwari 7 Days is a weekly roundup of picks of what's been happening in the world of technology - written with a dash of humor, a hint of exasperation, and an endless supply of (black) coffee. This week's highlights include WWDC 2026 announcements, updates on child safety, and Meta's use of data from outside businesses to optimize your feed. Let's get started. You can check out the recent issues of the 7 Days weekly roundup. Killing uBlock Origin bypasses The hottest news of the week was about Google Chrome effectively ending most uBlock Origin workarounds (a free, open-source ad blocker extension) by permanently dropping MV2 extensions and their bypasses. Chrome is transitioning towards newer MV3 extensions. A recent discussion thread highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions. Genuinely European? Euro-Office faces fire The recently launched cloud-based office suite, Euro-Office, is facing criticism at home. The LibreOffice developer wrote an open letter criticizing Euro-Office for its marketing claim that it's the "first open-source office suite developed in Europe," since the honor has belonged to OpenOffice since 2001. The Document Foundation has called out Euro-Office, arguing that it can't consider "itself genuinely European" as long as it keeps pushing Microsoft defaults on users, adding that "it has to speak ODF as its mother tongue." Will AI replace you? Image: Tara Winstead via Pexels Microsoft's AI boss, Mustafa Suleyman, said in an interview earlier this year that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. Joining the ranks of top executives who have softened their stance on AI replacing humans, Suleyman recently walked back his earlier remarks and now says that AI will automate tasks, not replace entire white-collar jobs. He defended his earlier comments by arguing that they referred only to individual actions people perform at their desks. Louis Rossmann wants to sue Samsung Image: Louis Rossmann Tech repair entrepreneur and right-to-repair activist Louis Rossmann contacted Samsung support over a failed 4TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMe SSD. After back-and-forth communication, Samsung offered a $330 refund instead of a replacement, but Rossmann found that the SSD was readily available for new buyers at a higher price. He has issued a formal 60-day notice and intends to file a suit in Texas small claims court, as Samsung's actions reflect a failure to honor its warranty obligations. Samsung reached out to Neowin to clarify its updated stance that customers in such situations will receive a refund equal to the product's current market price. Child safety or mass surveillance? Image: Jonathan Borba via Pexels Signal accused the UK government of using child safety and device-level explicit content ban as a cover for mass surveillance. Calling the plan "dystopian," Signal warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy. The messaging platform believes that the government should keep children "safe" and "protected," but it should do so through social services and education. Fears of social media regulation Image via DepositPhotos.com More governments across the globe are tightening their grip on social media and bringing stricter regulations in the name of child safety. Bluesky COO, Rose Wang, warned that social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups and that heavy regulatory compliance costs favor deep-pocketed tech giants while locking out new entrants. Our Features Image: Pexels Our coffee-powered team publishes a platter of editorials, opinion posts, and guides. Here's what they got for the week: UK **** blockers are a looming privacy disaster, we must be able to see the source code This week in software news Image: Proton Catch up on some of the latest software news updates that arrived throughout the week: Dark clouds over PC makers: Building on our report from last month, Dell officially acknowledged that its own remediation software was causing BSOD issues and unexpected system restarts. HP is also facing equally frustrating issues involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates on Windows 11. Controversial icon: Spotify finally removed the disco ball icon from its app and replaced it with the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. While some people don't like the new design, the retro, three-dimensional look has generated a following of its own. Even other brands are coming up with their versions of the disco logo. NVIDIA fixes stuff: A new hotfix driver 610.52 fixes various issues related to monitors and displays, noting that G-SYNC-related frame pacing troubles should now be resolved on Ada Lovelace GPUs. The feedback thread also points out that the hotfix patches a BSOD issue. FIFA World Cup tracker: Opera is redesigning its Android browser with a built-in football tracker for the upcoming World Cup in the US. The new homepage is now "more immersive" with easier access to common browser features. Command line for Proton: The Swiss technology company has launched a command line version of the Proton Drive, which you can use to manage your encrypted files directly from a terminal across all major platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. This week in hardware news Image: Thermaltake Catch up on some of the latest software news updates that arrived throughout the week: Intel and AMD PCs in one case: Thermaltake's CAPO X dual-system chassis brings you the best of both worlds by supporting two microATX (mATX) motherboards and up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. If you want ideas, maybe you can use one as your main PC and another as an AI agent. Google Tensor production: While TSMC will remain the lead producer, the search giant is reportedly in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production of its next-generation Tensor AI chips. The upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed β€œIcefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Lethal fake phone chargers: UK-based consumer rights organization Which? has warned that "potentially lethal knock-off chargers" are still being sold on online marketplaces, including Amazon and eBay, despite the dangers of such chargers having been exposed. This week in Google News Image: Google Catch up on some of the latest Google news updates that arrived throughout the week: Sliding into DMs: You might remember that YouTube had a direct messaging feature back in the day. It's now rolling out a revamped direct messaging inbox that lets you share Shorts, videos, and live streams and have conversations about them. New in NotebookLM: The AI-powered note-taking app got some new agentic capabilities and more advanced reasoning, thanks to support for Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity. NotebookLM can now generate outputs in more formats, making it easier to start new projects with less information. This week in Apple News Image: Apple Catch up on some of the latest Apple news updates that arrived throughout the week: WWDC 2026: This week was all about Apple's annual developer conference, where the iPhone-maker finally unveiled an upgraded Siri AI and a platter of new Apple Intelligence features. Siri AI now has a cross-platform app, which is supported on select models of iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro. What's different about WWDC: I wrote a detailed feature this week discussing how Apple changed the WWDC keynote this year, blurring the lines between its operating systems. Apple didn't have dedicated segments for its operating systems this year and didn't even publish the official press releases. Liquid Glass slider (finally): It's that time of the year when Apple previews fresh updates for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, and other platforms. A new transparency slider for Liquid Glass is coming to iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 Golden Gate. Is your device supported?: If you're wondering whether your Apple device supports the new developer beta builds, you can check the respective compatibility lists for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and watchOS 27. Siri AI not coming to Europe: Yes, that's true due to complications related to the Digital Markets Act (DMA). While Apple penned a blog post to tell its side of the story, a European Commission spokesperson told Neowin that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU; the company is simply required to comply with the law. New child safety features: Apple announced a trove of new safety features for kids, including a simpler setup experience for parents, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time UI. Parents can now visit a new website to find answers to common questions around child safety features. More cloud power: Apple's Private Cloud Compute cloud infrastructure will now run beyond its own data centers for the first time. It's working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. This week in Meta news Catch up on the latest Meta news updates that arrived throughout the week: Data from outside: Meta is rolling out a new update globally to personalize your AI responses and primary feeds using data from outside businesses. It already targets ads based on shopping activity, but the latest development enables it to personalize other "parts of your experience." There is a toggle in the Settings to disable activity from other businesses; however, it won't prevent companies from sending your data to Meta. Level playing field: The European Commission has ordered the social media giant to restore access to WhatsApp for third-party AI chatbots, including ChatGPT and Copilot. Meta previously blocked rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, prompting the Commission to launch an antitrust investigation. Spying on users: On the flip side, WhatsApp accused the Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of targeted "spear phishing" attacks against its users, which were thwarted by WhatsApp's security teams. Reorder profile grid: Adding some customization for the profile grid feature, Instagram now lets you rearrange posts in your profile without deleting and reuploading content. Go to your profile and long-press any thumbnail to find the "Reorder grid" option. This week in AI news Catch up on the latest artificial intelligence news updates that arrived throughout the week: Claude RAM hogger: Windows users are getting infuriated by Claude Desktop's hidden 1.8GB Hyper-V VM bug, which spins up if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once. It shows a Vmmem process in Task Manager, indicating 0% CPU usage but 1.8GB of RAM usage. Claude Fable 5: The new state-of-the-art AI model from Anthropic beats OpenAI's ChatGPT-5.5 in multiple AI benchmarks. Claude Fable 5 sits above the Opus models and outperforms most other generally available models across knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and more. However, the model was abruptly suspended after receiving an export control directive from the US government. Stack Overflow for AI agents: The popular Q&A platform has launched Stack Overflow for Agents in beta, which AI agents can use to share, find, and reuse coding knowledge. It explained that AI agents operate in isolation, creating an Ephemeral Intelligence Gap, and valuable tokens are wasted on something another agent has already solved. Upgrading Codex: OpenAI is buying a company called Ona, which makes secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. The ChatGPT-maker aims to make Codex agents run for days without being tied to a local machine or an active session. It also announced a new developer mode in Chrome. This week in open-source news Catch up on some of the latest open-source and Linux updates that arrived throughout the week: Linux 7.1 rc7: Linux Torvalds dropped an optimized rc7 with crucial fixes for AMD and laptop hardware. He said that a stable version of Linux 7.1 could arrive next week, adding that the latest RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases. Alpine Linux 3.24: The latest Alpine Linux release added support for COSMIC Desktop, Linux 6.18, IPv6 installer support, automatic serial console configuration for headless setups, and major package updates and removals. This week in Microsoft News Microsoft had to shut down more than 70 GitHub repos after they were compromised by malware, Teams is getting a controversial tracking feature that users may hate, and the company explained why the new update makes PowerToys faster. You can check out Taras's freshly baked Microsoft Weekly roundup to catch up on all the interesting stories this week. This week in gaming The latest issue of Pulasthi's Weekend PC Game Deals curates several exciting games on sale this week. On the Epic Games Store, the new titles on display for grabs include Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. NVIDIA GeForce NOW's summer sale lowered the prices of both the Performance and Ultimate membership options for a limited time period. Meanwhile, the Xbox Free Play Days brought Undead Labs' post-apocalyptic title State of Decay 2, as well as two Team17-published titles. That said, here are some more stories from the gaming world: Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming Playground drops 30 minutes of Fable gameplay, shows off life sim and morality system Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer From the review corner This week, Taras got his hands on the DuRoBo Krono portable e-ink reader, which comes with a $279 price tag. It's a smartphone-sized device with a rotating dial, sitting somewhere between premium and cheap in terms of build quality. Speaking of the pros, the physical controls are cool, the smart dial is useful, the battery life is good, and Android 15 has no-nonsense software. On the flip side, the device lacks software customization, the built-in AI needs improvement, the smart dial is a bit wobbly, and there is no ambient light sensor. EA Sports UFC 6 EA Sports UFC 6 does a better job at onboarding new players than most fighting games, according to Pulasthi's detailed review. The game comes with rewarding combat systems, top-notch animation, impressive impact physics, and visible damage on fighters. However, the menus lag a lot, grappling isn't very fun, and the flow state feels a little misplaced. More price drops! We got you covered with some hot tech deals all week. For some reason, if you missed out on a great discount, here is a summary of some recent deals that are still alive: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G - $649.99 (13% off) 1TB Samsung T7 Portable SSD - $189.98 (31% off) AirPods Pro 3 - $179 ($50 off) Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - $129.99 (24% off) To view all of our recent deals, click here.

      Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.
