I can't remember him saying that this series since the first episode

He said it once in The Beast Below, and that's it for this series so far.

My guess is the phrase will either be "Bow ties are cool" or something to do with bow ties :D

Thought this was a great ep. The ending gallery scene was really good :yes:

Same... it's probably my favourite episode of the season so far, followed by the first episode. Sulustrian story was too strung out, Dalek episode was just a let down at all corners, first part of the Weeping Angels was weak. Heck, apart from this weeks episode there's nothing else that particularly sticks out as special in my mind, and it did have the women in my family well up in tears which was nice :) A lot of the reviews marked it down for being too "Richard Curtis" - but I don't think anyone outside of the reviewers cares, for a Doctor Who episode it was probably the most emotionally touching episode out of the season (dare I say more emotionally touching than Tennants Ending), it was something special and actually made me want to find out more about Van Gough, and brilliant acting all round!

And bow ties are cool :p

Russell T. Davies 'loves new 'Who''

Russell T. Davies has said that he "loves" the new series of Doctor Who.

The former showrunner admitted that he now enjoys watching the show as a fan without having to worry about the "hard work" that goes into it.

"The greatest responsibility the Doctor Who team has now is getting me a disc every single week out to Los Angeles, which I sit and watch every Saturday night and love," he told the BBC.

"I don?t miss it actually. I?m a viewer now. I watch the episodes and, apart from loving them, my overriding thought is, ?Oh, that?s hard work.? So part of me is very glad not to be sweating over that Tardis again."

Davies praised the performances of Matt Smith and Karen Gillan, adding: "What a glorious new age. It?s the show that?ll never die."

He later joked: "The only thing I?d change is I?d make 20 episodes a year. I?m sure they?ll be glad to hear that. More Doctor Who, that?s what we need."

5.13 "The Big Bang"

The Doctor is gone, the Tardis has been destroyed, and the universe is collapsing. The only hope for all reality is a little girl who still believes in stars, as this series of Doctor Who concludes with an episode written by Steven Moffat.

The Doctor is played by Matt Smith and Amy Pond by Karen Gillan.

Damn you Rappy for making me read those spoilers...

This episode on Saturday - The Lodger, confuses the hell out of me the more I see of it. We appear to be moving further away from sci-fi each week and I really really want to see an episode where they visit a goddamn alien planet instead of constantly following English Humans all the time.

Rant over.

Well you learn something new everyday... Smith wanted to be a professional footballer, guess he did play his own football in that clip :p Looks there's going to be a nice fun character story here, probably a rubbish villain.

Dammit I want REAL cybermen!!

I agree. Unfortunately it seems the classic Cybermen have been forgotten in favor of the "Pete's World" Cybusmen. I'd love to see an update of the real thing, preferably kicking Cybusman rear.

I have been quite open about my dislike for the story lines of the latest series however I must say that I actually enjoyed tonights episode, and last weeks. The characters have really made the last two, and a lack of Amy ponds stupid remarks in this episode really made it enjoyable.

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
