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 ... ;)

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.

      You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
