Earlier in the week, Peter Davison opened up the possibility of the fifth Doctor making an appearance in the 50th anniversary special when he mentioned he owned a copy of the script.

Female First are now reporting that he will appear in the special. However before we get too excited Davison doesn?t specifically say it?s for The Day of the Doctor, only that he?s doing something for the 50th.

He said: ?I?m making an appearance somewhere over that period of time but I can?t reveal in what.

?I can?t reveal anything specific about it. I?m not allowed to.

?It is a big year for the show and we?re all doing our bit for it. Trust me.?

The promo pic was the only proper stuff we have seen so far, expect more beginning of October

I don't know if I should be grateful or not for the lack of official teasers.  I really want to see the trailer but once I do then there is no going back.  I can control my anticipation right now as my mind cant begin to conceive what possibilities may unfold.  I know that in reality I may be let down by another Moffat fairytale but I'm really hoping this satisfies my Dr Who needs.

Due to phenomenal demand, the event sold out almost immediately when they went on sale in July; however, limited numbers are now available to purchase. 

 

To ensure that everyone has a fair chance of securing a ticket, they will only be available through a ballot. The ballot is open now and runs until 10am BST on Monday 30th September. The lucky applicants will be notified on Tuesday 1st October and then have until 10am BST on Thursday 3rd October to complete their purchase. Any unclaimed tickets will go into a further ballot. 

 

Applicants can select their preferred date and entry group and specify the number of tickets that they require (up to 4) at the time of entering the draw. The ballot does not include any pre-purchase of merchandise, autographs or photographs. TARDIS tickets are sold out and will not be included. Ticket prices are ?45 for adults, ?20 for children and ?104 for a family ticket (two adults and two children, prices exclude booking fee).

 

Entries to the ballot can be made online or by phone.

Steven Moffat has said that Peter Capaldi?s past appearances in the Whoniverse will not actually be ignored and hinted they may serve as a plot point.

 

Speaking in an interview with Nerd?, he said: ?We are aware that Peter Capaldi?s played a big old part in Doctor Who and Torchwood before and we are not going to ignore the fact.

 

?I remember Russell [T Davies] told me that he had a big old plan as to why there were two Peter Capaldi?s in the Who universe: one in Pompeii and one in Torchwood. When I cast Peter and Russell got in touch to say how pleased he was, I said, ?Okay, what was your theory and does it still work?? and he said, ?Yes it does. Here it is??

 

?We?ll play that one out over time. It?s actually quite neat.?

 

He adds: ?The face is not set from birth. It?s not like he was always going to be one day Peter Capaldi. We know that?s the case because in The War Games he has a choice of faces. So we know it?s not set, so where does he get those faces from? They can?t just be randomly generated because they?ve got lines. They?ve aged. When he turns into Peter he?ll actually have lines on his face. So where did that face come from??

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
