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]

      You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

      Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
