I personally don't think there's any need, simply for show of progress, to shake up the standard formula and choose a woman doctor or even a doctor of another race. People who are making it an issue I think are being silly. The doctor doesn't need to be a woman anymore than Batman needs to be a woman. The whole regeneration thing was just an excuse to renew the show even after an actor quit, wasn't it? Its of course, up to the writers, and what they think they can make work.

Non-British doctor wouldn't necessarily be an American actor.. I could imagine Peter Stormare as the Doctor. I agree though its nice that the show has a British character to it.

According to The Telegraph the BBC have made a contract offer to Rory Kinnear to portray the next iteration of the Doctor on Doctor Who. Says The Telegraph, "He has been offered the part and we are waiting to hear if he will accept. He is the perfect choice." Recently, there was another rumor identifying three other actors as the frontrunners to replace the departing Matt Smith. Domhnall Gleeson, Daniel Kaluuya and Dominic Cooper were said to be the lucky three but its possible that the role is Kinnear's to accept or decline. Kinnear was most recently seen in Skyfall in the role of Tanner.

I think a different race would be awesome, but I would really like The Doctor to stay male.

No, I think the Doctor needs to stay Gallifreyan. The whole "half-human on my mother's side" bit from the TV movie is best left forgotten. :laugh:

 

How about Peter Dinklage? It'd give him something to do between Game of Thrones seasons. . .

As if Matt Smith's Doctor entering his own timeline wasn't enough to make viewers' brains itch as if it was in a plaster cast, it's reported John Hurt's Doctor will play a

regeneration in-between that of Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston.

 

Costume designer Howard Burden is believed to have let this spoiler slip during yesterday's Royal visit to the BBC Studios in Wales. It's reported, by Cultbox, Howard said: 'There was a gap between Paul McGann playing the Doctor and Christopher Eccleston, when we didn?t see a regeneration, and John Hurt will fit into that gap. He is a past Doctor, not a future Doctor.'

 

To make this clear, Matt Smith's Doctor, when inside his own timeline, spoke to a Doctor from the past who we've never seen for the first time.

'Doctor Who' Moffat "no plans" to leave: 'I'm excited for new Doctor'

Steven Moffat has insisted that he has "no plans" to leave Doctor Who.

The showrunner confirmed his intention to stay with the BBC sci-fi drama through its eighth series - the first with the show's 12th Doctor - in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

"I've signed up for this next year, with the new Doctor," Moffat said. "It's one of those jobs when you know when you've had enough. At the moment, I haven't had enough and I'm thoroughly enjoying it."

The writer/producer added that he is "very excited" for the "challenge of... establishing [the] new Doctor".

"No plans to leave as yet," he affirmed. "But that doesn't mean I'll be here for 20 years. There will come that day when I think it's time someone else had a go and it's time I did something else."

Moffat also hinted that Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special will be "movie-length" and spoke about the "terrifying" search for an actor to replace Matt Smith.

Steven Moffat talks about the upcoming regeneration of the Doctor.

 

It?ll be the traditional regeneration. You know, the eleventh will fall and the twelfth shall rise. And you?ll see that in the closing moments of the show. I mean, you sometimes sit and think, ?Are there better ways of doing it? Is there a different way of doing it?? But quite honestly what could be better than that? It?s just too exciting. [Laughs]

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By grunger106 · Posted

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
