[Official] Doctor Who Thread


Recommended Posts

This week Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker and Paul McGann were interviewed on an Australian breakfast show and pointed out the obvious fact that they couldn?t be involved as they are currently in another country doing conventions while the 50th anniversary shoots in the UK.

Further to that McCoy appears very genuine when he says: ?All the fan bases all over the world believe that [everyone should be involved], but not the producers at the BBC.?

McCoy still looks like himself, just older. Paul McGann doesn't age apparently. Maybe he really has a Tardis. Colin Baker, well, he's a bit older than McCoy (not by much if memory serves) but man, either time (haha get it!) hasn't been kind to him, or maybe he has health problems or something? Either way, he looks nothing like his old Doctor self. He even said that in the interview.

McCoy seems like a totally eccentric person, kinda like his Doctor :D

The BBC have released the synopsis for the upcoming Doctor Who episode, Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS - read it below. The story airs in the UK and North America on April 27 and in Australia, Poland and South Africa a day later.

"A spaceship salvage team drags the TARDIS on board, sending its systems into meltdown. As the Doctor marshals the motley salvage crew outside, he realises Clara is still trapped within his malfunctioning ship, pursued by a dangerous group of ossified monsters. He has just 30 minutes to find Clara and save his TARDIS before it self-destructs"

'Hide' airs at 6.45pm on Saturday 20 April on BBC One. To whet your appetite, here are hints for the episode...

? A reference made in 'Army of Ghosts' is made here.

? It looks like the name of the show might change...

? A rather meta reference to '70s Doctor Who is made.

? There is a Scooby Doo moment.

? The Doctor comments on the heat of Clara's underwear.

? Something we see in 'The Five Doctors' is seen here.

? The Doctor's been rummaging through David Tennant's wardrobe.

? That's an interesting pronunciation of a Pertwee era planet.

? A noise not heard in some time is heard again.

? Clara and the TARDIS are not getting on.

so far i have been rather disappointed with the stories of each episode. We are getting a bit more information about Clara and getting used to her character however, I just do not think the overarching story is doing very well at the moment. with only 5 episodes remaining this series i hope they pick up the pace and start getting somewhere.

I think the switch to the "movie every week" style is hurting the show more than anything else frankly. They should just go back to linked episodes, like 2 or 3 etc then a new story starts or whatever. Either way, Moffat is a decent enough writer, but I am really starting to miss Davies.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
    • Hello, Hope all is well. I am in UK.  
    • I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
    • Or just check the script yourself ^^. I hate having a Microsoft account tied to my windows install.
