The Bells of St John airs on March 30 on BBC One, BBC America and SPACE whilst it airs the following day in Poland and South Africa. Set in London against the backdrop of new and old iconic landmarks, The Shard and Westminster Bridge, the episode will also establish a new nemesis, the Spoonheads, who will battle the Doctor as he discovers something sinister is lurking in the Wi-Fi. Speaking about the series, current showrunner Steven Moffat said:

"We're running round the rings of an alien world and then a haunted house. There's new Cybermen, new Ice Warriors and a never before attempted journey to the centre of the TARDIS. And in the finale, the Doctor's greatest secret will at last be revealed. If this wasn't already our most exciting year it would be anyway."

The Doctor's greatest secret is finally revealed eh? His secret ability to have super hot females from Earth with him almost all the time? Or maybe his ability to make his hair look really bad this current regeneration cycle? (Spray or mousse?) Maybe they will finally reveal who the Doctor's really related to at the BBC!

Are they really going to reveal his name? No matter what name it will wind up being, it'll let someone, somewhere down don't you think? Just name him Bob and get it done Moffat.

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.

Yea, I found my copy of Dr Who Mag from Jan 1984 with Peter Cushing on the cover and talking about him being in the movies. I got Peter and Jon mixed up, been a little busy studying for some IT certs. Thanks for the update.

So....growing up I generally scoffed at Doctor Who because for some reason the older stuff just seemed really cheesy and not very interesting to me, even as a sci-fi fan. However, having found the new series on Netflix and needing something new to watch...I'm currently in season two and I have to say...I'm really enjoying it! I can't wait to be caught haha.

Willa Holland (from Arrow)? Anyone see the resemblance? :D

Amy who?

I'd never turn down Karen Gilligan, but I'd drop my sandwich (and I love sandwiches!) if I had the opportunity with JLC :shiftyninja: :rofl:

Jenna-Louise Coleman has confirmed that Clara will be back in Doctor Who Series 8. She revealed the news earlier on Monday during an interview on Radio 5 Live with Richard Bacon.

Jenna also confirmed that Doctor Who will take a four-month filming break while Matt Smith goes to America to shoot the movie How to Catch a Monster. The show will resume in September (presumably beginning with the 2013 Christmas special and Series 8 following).

Good news and bad news wrapped up in one. I hate it when they take those long breaks.

would is be possible for them to do a esp where they are part of another event of the doctors timeline, so like go back to a season 2 esp and play on that.

Old series season 2 or new? I'd love to see Matt in the background of a Hartnell story, desperately trying not to interfere in his timeline, but wanting to see his granddaughter for a little while. Only there's something which threatens his earlier self . . .

JUst make the episode black and white to really feel like the era.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
