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.

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 ... ;)

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
