I really hope Moffat doesn't ruin the Dr by completely changing him. Surely the Dr can't ignore who he has been and his experiences. Moffat can't write something that's not linked to his fairytale ideal.

 

 

The Doctor has always changed with a regen. It's one of its defining characteristics.

The BFI screened two episodes from Eccleston's run as the Time Lord as part of its Doctor Who at 50 season.

 

Eccleston - who did not attend the event - praised director Joe Ahearne and joked about potential future 100th anniversary celebrations.

 

He said: "I love the BFI. I love the Doctor and hope you enjoy this presentation.

 

"Joe Ahearne directed five of the 13 episodes of the first series. He understood the tone the show needed completely - strong, bold, pacy visuals coupled with wit, warmth and a twinkle in the performances, missus.

 

"If Joe agrees to direct the 100th anniversary special, I will bring my sonic and a stair-lift and - providing the Daleks don't bring theirs - I, the Ninth Doctor, vow to save the universe and all you apes in it."

Further potential hints that Hurt could be playing the ?8.5? Doctor has also emerged. In a preview of Paul Cornell?s upcoming Doctor Who comic, The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who, look at the positioning of the silhouetted Doctor?

Before all of this, I was under the impression that Eccleston was the Doctor who fought in the Time War.

The first episode of the new series has him checking his face out in the mirror when he visits rose's apartment, as if he'd just regenerated. We'd always assumed it was from the 8th Doctor but it was never directly stated (or shown) so :P

Someone keep me out of this thread. I can't take the excitement with all this news and speculation! Just bring November here, already.

I know what you mean, I keep telling myself I won't come in here because everytime I get stupidly excited and it still seems so far away.

"Doctor Who may not be quite the force it was when it returned with Christopher Eccleston and in its David Tennant heyday in the UK, but has a growing audience in the US on cable channel BBC America.

"It will not return next year until the autumn, giving it plenty of time to recharge batteries. And what better way to do that than with a new Doctor?"

Man, I was really hoping for a return to the April-June run. It's like, they air six episodes, wait a few months, get another six or seven, then wait another few months, get a Christmas special, and then wait a year for another six. :s

Yeah, not sure I really like this super long break style they are doing now. Plus, they are long enough breaks where they are taking chances that people will either forget (not likely in DW's case though) about the show or not care anymore.

Dr Who was off the air for around 20 years. People didn't forget, people still cared. ;)

Maybe in the UK, where it was already a success, but hasn't the US success come only within the last few years? Heck, the only reason I ever started watching it was because it was on Netflix.

 

I do like the shorter, more focused seasons that UK shows have, I honestly like the schedule of US TV better. At least I know I can expect a show to be back in the Spring, Summer or Fall of each year.

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

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      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

      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.
