Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I would love to see Peter Dinklage as the doctor. He would own it.

 

Although it would be great but would he be able to do the same amount of running that doctor does in each episode. He has to be fast in each episode

Doesn't need to be fast each Doctor deals with problems in different ways.

There is plenty of precedent in Who for former villain actors to get the top job. Hell, Capaldi himself is an example of that, though technically he didn't play a villain.  Colin Baker was another, and he WAS a villain of sorts!

I still vote for Richard E Grant in the role. He'd be totally awesome!

He's portrayed The Doctor before in an animated story featured on the BBC website, made sometime before Doctor Who returned in 2005.

Exactly, so I think he'd be perfect for the job.

 

At the time, that incarnation of The Doctor was an "alternative 9th Doctor". The animation was made a few years before the series officially with Christopher Eccleston

as the official 9th incarnation of The Doctor. The story is called Scream Of The Shalka, and is still archived on the BBC website.

Departing Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi has shed some more light on his decision to hand in his Tardis keys, revealing that he was concerned that his performance in the role would suffer if he carried on.

“I was not sure how long you could keep doing this and be doing your best,” he told the Sunday Times’ Lynn Barber. “My fear was that if I went on, I’d end up phoning it in.

“Because there’s so little preparation time, you’re mostly flying by the seat of your pants – which is exciting, but I worried I might not be able to keep on doing it as well as I’d like to.”

Instead, Capaldi is leaving on his own terms on what fans hope will be a high. And though he hasn’t actually finished shooting yet (with a couple of episodes and the Christmas special left to shoot before his final day this July), the actor says his departure is already getting him a bit emotional.

“I’ve cried already – no, not really,” he joked. “But they’re such a nice group of people here, I’ll miss them terribly. And, you know, it’s the end of something. I’ve never done anything for three years before.

“Also, it’s a kind of magical thing, Doctor Who. It’s connected to my childhood and it brings this very warm response from people, children and fans of all different stripes. But then it’s over.” 

Hold back the tears, Doctor Who fans – there’s still a good eight months until we have to say goodbye for good.

Yeah everyone is like OMG he's regenerating in the trailer for the season! Just a fake out again (like 10 did) I guess, or something else entirely leading into the Xmas special I imagine. Maybe he'll have radiation poisoning like 10 did and slowly croak lol

What worries me is... How long before the other doctor gets cast? So we probably won't see who until late 2018 maybe 2019ish? :/

They can take their time. I haven't even watched the first episode yet - with Peter leaving and all of Moffatt's poor direction, this is the first time EVER I haven't been excited for new Doctor Who. I'm to the point where I wouldn't mind another hiatus, to let the bad taste of the Moffatt era fade.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      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.
