Brilliant choice, a nice change too. Should make the new series nice and fresh.

 

Must admit i was sweating and shaking during that build up!

 

No effing trailer still though!

Yeah surprised at new trailer but I suppose they didn't want to overshadow the announcement

I was banging my desk like drums haha

He's been in Doctor Who before:

It is not the first time Capaldi has appeared on the show - he played Roman merchant Caecilius in 2008 Doctor Who adventure The Fires of Pompeii.

Tennant will always be my favourite Doctor, but the reaction to Capaldi looks positive so far and let's hope he can take the role from strength to strength!

i was a little disappointed that they did not reveal him with the new doctors outfit as well, also VERY disappointed that they did not show the trailer they posted at ComicCon for the 50th Anniversary episode.

I caught (recorded) the last 20 mins or so of the program which I thought seemed awful and so skipped through most of it. I'm disappointed with the choice of actor; I don't remember his earlier appearance in dw or torchwood; I have seen odd bits of The Thick of it though and he seems good in that role, but I really don't see myself liking him at all as the doctor, I think he's a terrible choice. To me he's old and drab, whereas Matt, who has been fantastic, is young, energetic and fun. :(

Looking at a few of the other possibilities thrown up earlier, I think Ben Whishaw could perhaps have been an excellent choice. David Harewood I don't see fitting into the role at all, nor Olivia Coleman (heard her name suggested on the news the other day I believe). Andrew Scott is brilliant on Sherlock, not sure about this though.

I have my doubts about him too. I'm sure he will grown on me. He is a brilliant actor, though, and can do funny and serious equally well. He may be the best actor that has very held the role. It's gonna be different for sure, having an older man being the doctor.

Well I personally have seen the Doctor numerous times and each time there is a period of adjustment.   

This guy should fit right in since he himself has had previous roles on the show.

They turned out to be good anyhow...  One thing that still remains to be seen... okay now we have 12  well 13 so the question is did the Lifeforce from River add extra re-generations?  

 

I mean after all there was a spoiler of sorts where there was a regeneration that didn't go by the name of The Doctor....

It will be interesting to see how this fits in....

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
