I read somewhere the next special is in November...such a looooooooooooong wait :(

The thing is, I thought they made 4 specials? If that's true, then they'd have to have at least 2 specials in one month, which is weird. Plus, they'd have the Christmas special in there as well :p They could technically have all 4 specials run week after week, running up to the Christmas special :p

Dr Who spin-off for Lee Evans?

Lee Evans could land his own Doctor Who spin-off if the show?s boss, Russell T Davies, has his ways.

The producer said he was so impressed with the comic?s performance as scientist Malcom Taylor in Saturday?s Easter special, Planet Of The Dead, he could star in a new series.

Evan?s character worked for the organisation UNIT, Unified Intelligence Taskforce, under Captain Magambo, played by Noma Dumezweni.

Davies said: ?Lee and Noma are a spin-off series waiting to happen. UNIT soldiers often work best as half of a double-act, so Magambo needed a foil, though we never dreamed we?d get to cast the part so well.?

Davies, who is leaving the show after the next three specials, added that the spin-off could be broadcast late this year.

If it comes off, it would be the fourth from the relaunched Doctor Who, following Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures, and the forthcoming K-9.

The biggest fangasm this side of the millennium is heard as Gillian Anderson is to join the cast of Doctor Who. But who is she playing...?

Published on Apr 23, 2009

Sci-fi goddess Gillian Anderson is being lined up to star in the fifth series of the popular television show Doctor Who, according to the Daily Express.

The actress, best known for playing Dana Scully in The X-Files, is reportedly being lined up to star as The Rani in Matt Smith's first series as the Time Lord. The Rani is a renegade Time Lady who first appeared in Who during the Eighties' story Mark of the Rani and returned in Time and the Rani. She was originally played by Kate O' Mara.

An 'insider' told the paper, "The Rani would be a perfect role for her as the character used to be regarded as one of the Doctor?s most deadly opponents? whilst also, paradoxically, adding, "The team behind the show are keen for the next Doctor to have lots of new enemies."

Anderson, now living in the UK, has recently starred in The Last King of Scotland, How To Lose Friends & Alienate People and the BBC production of Bleak House. The forty-year old actress is about to star alongside Christopher Eccleston on stage in A Doll's House.

Claire Bloom is said to be filming a part for the upcoming Doctor Who specials.

The 78-year-old actress, who starred alongside Richard Burton in Hamlet, Look Back In Anger and The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, will appear in the final episodes of David Tennant's time on the show, the Daily Mail claims.

A friend told the newspaper: "The script is a very closely guarded secret, as the producers are desperate for Claire's appearance to be a surprise."

Bloom's manager in America, Marion Rosenberg, said: "It is happening. They are filming at the moment. I have been organising her schedule."

The star is rumoured to be playing The Doctor's mother, but a BBC spokesman declined to comment on the story.

That makes sense... But I don't know if I care to much about his mom. I like my idea that the doctor was never born- He was always here. lol

It talked about when he was a little boy how he was forced to look into the time vortex and his age is listed at 900+. He also has had children. So he definitely has a mom out there somewhere.

    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
