Ecclestone was good, but Tennant became my all time favorite personally. Smith never 'clicked' for me.

 

No one will ever beat Karen Gillan..... ever. /end

Tennant is still my fav. Smith neither clicked for me either.

 

Karen Gillan didnt work w/ me either. I thought she was generally boring and annoying.

Matt Smith: "I totally will" be back in Doctor Who

We haven't even seen a full episode featuring his successor Peter Capaldi, and Matt Smith is already talking about making his Doctor Who comeback...

The star has been in touch with showrunner Steven Moffat asking how long he has to wait and says he'd love to do another multiple Doctors story following the success of 50th anniversary episode The Day of the Doctor, in which he appeared alongside his predecessor David Tennant and newly revealed 'War Doctor" John Hurt.

"I?m just waiting for the next anniversary," Smith told the Calgary Expo. "I spoke to Steven the other day and said ?what?s the quickest one we can do???

?I love the idea of other Doctors coming back. Also that gives me the opportunity to come back, which I totally will by the way!?

In the meantime, though, Smith has been busy adding more strings to his acting bow, with the lead role in the West End musical adaptation of American Psycho and another apparently equally unhinged part in Ryan Gosling's controversial movie Lost River.

Peter Capaldi makes his full debut as the Doctor when the series returns to BBC1 this autumn.

Yeah, I knew there was another one I couldn't remember, that was it! Heh.

 

I wonder if those suits are related then to any of those episodes, or that's just the design they are using for "space" episodes going forward. You know, we never did see the Doctor send River to the Library. Even though they touched on her death etc, so maybe Capaldi's Doctor is the one who does it? Can't really drag that out much longer, people won't remember it heh.

BBC nearly cancelled Doctor Who after David Tennant left the cast in 2009

 

"I think there were plans maybe to consider ending it," Steven Moffat said at the Hay Festival.

 

"David owned that role in a spectacular way, gave it an all-new cheeky sexy performance and became a national treasure," he added. "So the idea that Doctor Who could go on at all in the absence of David was a huge question."

The BBC have announced that human female singer/songwriter Foxes is to star in an episode of Doctor Who Series 8

The English twenty-five year old will also perform a song in an upcoming story starring Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman.

Foxes said: "I can't believe I'm actually going to be in an episode of Doctor Who! Especially as it all came about from a chance meeting. I was playing a gig and got chatting to the show's production team who'd been watching my performance. I was telling them how much I loved Doctor Who and next thing they invited me to be on it. I couldn't think of a better place to make my acting debut than on one of the UK's most iconic shows!"

Earlier today, she told BBC Radio 1, "I filmed it yesterday... it was good fun." Current showrunner Steven Moffat said: "We are completely thrilled that the amazingly talented Foxes is joining us on board ... well, you'll see. Let's just say, the Doctor is finally catching up on his phone calls."

That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

 

Changing the lead actor in Doctor Who is not only proven to be successful, it's a tradition!

 

If any Doctor would have been "irreplaceable" it would have been the iconic Tom Baker, and they found an adequate successor for him. Why would Tennant have been any different?

 

Tennant is the best of the new series Doctors so far (waiting to see Capaldi in action to form an opinion), but he's by no means the definitive Doctor. (To my mind that's Jon Pertwee, and even he was replaceable.)

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
