Renewed for a 10th Season

The BBC just announced a 10th series of Doctor Who - thought you may have missed it.

News of more episodes beyond this year's latest 12-part run was hidden away on page 32 of the BBC Worldwide Annual Review.

Matters listed as under review in the past year include "investments in The Musketeers S3 and Doctor Who S10".

We've known since February that The Musketeers would be returning for a third series, but this is the first official confirmation of more Doctor Who - to air presumably in 2016.

Series nine of Doctor Who - starring Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman - will launch September 19 on BBC One.

Capaldi is great but I wish they would get rid of the impossible girl, never could tolerate her.

One of the best companions of the new series also the longest serving, I bet Piper and fan club are spitting about that!

I liked Amy and Donna better. Clara was clearly written to play off of Matt Smith and she was fine at first until they went totally overboard with the impossible girl nonsense and made her immortal and more important than the Doctor himself. I much preferred it when companions were just ordinary people like Barbara and Ian or Sarah Jane Smith. Anyway I'm getting pretty tired of her and think it is past time for someone new.

Layering at its best! tshirt over tshirt over hoodie over coat! That really is Amy Ponds Raggedy man!

Who's his stylist Leonard Hofstadter?

This is all quite true http://whatculture.com/tv/9-problems-with-doctor-who-no-one-wants-to-admit.php/10

Hah! never would have related those two just based on their clothes!

 

Also, am I the only one who thinks Benedict cumberbatch should be the new doctor :p  ? Not saying I don't like Capaldi, but Benedict has that suave thing going on ( sorta like DT )... Ah well one can dream

He's already another well-established character in a well-liked series. I don't think it could work, sorry. He'd make a great Doctor, though the series would have a darker undertone overall.

But then that's what they said about Capaldi, too ... ;)

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
