I personally don't think there's any need, simply for show of progress, to shake up the standard formula and choose a woman doctor or even a doctor of another race. People who are making it an issue I think are being silly. The doctor doesn't need to be a woman anymore than Batman needs to be a woman. The whole regeneration thing was just an excuse to renew the show even after an actor quit, wasn't it? Its of course, up to the writers, and what they think they can make work.

Non-British doctor wouldn't necessarily be an American actor.. I could imagine Peter Stormare as the Doctor. I agree though its nice that the show has a British character to it.

According to The Telegraph the BBC have made a contract offer to Rory Kinnear to portray the next iteration of the Doctor on Doctor Who. Says The Telegraph, "He has been offered the part and we are waiting to hear if he will accept. He is the perfect choice." Recently, there was another rumor identifying three other actors as the frontrunners to replace the departing Matt Smith. Domhnall Gleeson, Daniel Kaluuya and Dominic Cooper were said to be the lucky three but its possible that the role is Kinnear's to accept or decline. Kinnear was most recently seen in Skyfall in the role of Tanner.

I think a different race would be awesome, but I would really like The Doctor to stay male.

No, I think the Doctor needs to stay Gallifreyan. The whole "half-human on my mother's side" bit from the TV movie is best left forgotten. :laugh:

 

How about Peter Dinklage? It'd give him something to do between Game of Thrones seasons. . .

As if Matt Smith's Doctor entering his own timeline wasn't enough to make viewers' brains itch as if it was in a plaster cast, it's reported John Hurt's Doctor will play a

regeneration in-between that of Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston.

 

Costume designer Howard Burden is believed to have let this spoiler slip during yesterday's Royal visit to the BBC Studios in Wales. It's reported, by Cultbox, Howard said: 'There was a gap between Paul McGann playing the Doctor and Christopher Eccleston, when we didn?t see a regeneration, and John Hurt will fit into that gap. He is a past Doctor, not a future Doctor.'

 

To make this clear, Matt Smith's Doctor, when inside his own timeline, spoke to a Doctor from the past who we've never seen for the first time.

'Doctor Who' Moffat "no plans" to leave: 'I'm excited for new Doctor'

Steven Moffat has insisted that he has "no plans" to leave Doctor Who.

The showrunner confirmed his intention to stay with the BBC sci-fi drama through its eighth series - the first with the show's 12th Doctor - in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

"I've signed up for this next year, with the new Doctor," Moffat said. "It's one of those jobs when you know when you've had enough. At the moment, I haven't had enough and I'm thoroughly enjoying it."

The writer/producer added that he is "very excited" for the "challenge of... establishing [the] new Doctor".

"No plans to leave as yet," he affirmed. "But that doesn't mean I'll be here for 20 years. There will come that day when I think it's time someone else had a go and it's time I did something else."

Moffat also hinted that Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special will be "movie-length" and spoke about the "terrifying" search for an actor to replace Matt Smith.

Steven Moffat talks about the upcoming regeneration of the Doctor.

 

It?ll be the traditional regeneration. You know, the eleventh will fall and the twelfth shall rise. And you?ll see that in the closing moments of the show. I mean, you sometimes sit and think, ?Are there better ways of doing it? Is there a different way of doing it?? But quite honestly what could be better than that? It?s just too exciting. [Laughs]

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
