The Sarah Jane new series isn't gonna be some lame 5 parter like Torchwood is it? (even though Torchwood kicked arse!)

And Rappy I know your sigs and avatars etc are random, but you should ban anything Matt Smith related from them until we know he doesn't suck as the new Doctor lol

I feel sorry for Matt Smith, he has far too big boots to fill. DT just seems to get better and better the more we see him!

I'm not sure he can. DT arguably may be the best Doctor ever. Matt Smith will be a letdown for quite a while. He may grow on us and eventually become a good Doctor in his own right but I certainly don't expect him to wow me at first. If he does wow me the first few episodes, he has a chance.

They've already done research and found Tennant was the best Doctor ever, literally bumping the fourth Doctor to second place.

This Thursday marks the beginning of the two-part serial "The Mad Woman in the Attic." We get an early glimpse of Donald Sumpter as Erasmus Darkening, Suranne Jones as Mona Lisa, and Eleanor Tomlinson as Eve. [Blogtor Who]

And in the second part of the serial, we'll see a pair of very familiar faces: the Third and Fourth Doctors. Granted, we'll be seeing Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker in flashbacks using archival footage, but we'll also see Sarah Jane's future ? one featuring another familiar Doctor. The vision of the future will involve the phrase, "He is returning, he is coming back," and we'll see the TARDIS appear in the Bannerman Road attic. In another flashforward toward the end of the episode, where we'll encounter none other than the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant. Sarah Jane's robotic sidekick K9 will also be back, supposedly for good.Den of Geekb>]

I though I recognized the name Donald Sumpter. He's been on Doctor Who, though it's been quite some time.

One of his early television appearances was the 1968 Doctor Who episode The Wheel in Space with Patrick Troughton as the Doctor. He appeared in Doctor Who again in the 1972 episode The Sea Devils with Jon Pertwee.

Time-traveling action-comedy Doctor Who was filming on location again, and fans were able to peer inside the TARDIS and get a glimpse of the backdrop that's set to match the new interior of the Doctor's time machine.

BBC confirms Doctor Who preview on this years Children in Need TV show.

The BBC has confirmed that there will be a preview of the 2009 Doctor Who Christmas Special on this years Children in Need TV appeal show, on Friday 20th November.

The confirmation comes via the BBC Press Office, and would seem to suggest that the next special (The Waters of Mars) should air sometime before then. DWO expect the airdate will be announced very shortly, but could very well be Saturday 14th November.

      Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project.

The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow.

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on LinuxΒ https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
