Peter Capaldi

Call The Midwife's Jessica Raine and Doctor Who's Peter Capaldi are set to star in the new British thriller series The Devil's Hour.

Armando Iannucci's The Personal History of David Copperfield is a bright, energetic romp with a lot of heart and soul and a terrific diverse cast, and maybe it could change the way historical adaptations will look in the future.

After repeated delays, reschedulings, and cancellations as studios around the world struggle to figure out how to release movies during the coronavirus pandemic, the critically acclaimed film The Personal History of David Copperfield will finally get a digital release in the U.S. next month. 

This Christmas season will include a special present for Doctor Who fans, particularly those who loved Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, which means the countdown to new Doctor Who is on!

Of course, this year’s holiday installment is a slightly bigger deal than usual, since the episode will mark Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi’s last outing in the TARDIS and Jodie Whittaker’s debut as the series’ first female Doctor. Though, of course, most of us know that we’ll see Thirteen for all of two minutes. But still. It will be a franchise-defining moment. 

The trailer for Peter Capaldi’s final episode of Doctor Who dropped at San Diego Comic Con over the weekend, during an emotional panel that served as an unofficial farewell for the man who’s served as the Twelfth Doctor for the past three seasons. 

It's official: Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi's next season of Doctor Who will be his last. 

Capaldi announced his decision to leave the show during a recent interview with BBC Radio 2 presenter Jo Whiley. Rumors have swirled for months that Capaldi might be ready to leave the iconic British sci-fi series, but up until this week he'd repeatedly told reporters and/or anyone who asked that he hadn't made his mind up yet. The series' tenth season is slated to begin April 15th, though Capaldi is currently slated to continue on in the role through the 2017 Christmas special. 

This year has been a monumental one for Comic Relief, the British comedy-based charity co-founded by writer/director Richard Curtis and comedian Lenny Henry three decades ago.

Comic Relief grew out of the success of Bob Geldolf’s Live Aid benefit concerts for Africa. Its efforts have united the people of the UK in raising money for aid organizations primarily in Africa and at home.

The best news possible for all the Whovians out there is finally here: the BBC and BBC America confirmed that the highly anticipated new season of Doctor Who will officially begin on Saturday, August 23 – on both sides of the pond!

Peter Capaldi will debut in his first full episode as the Twelfth Doctor in the Series 8 premiere, which will be a feature-length adventure called Deep Breath. Jenna Coleman is also back as the Doctor’s companion Clara Oswin Oswald.

If this news weren’t enough to send your emotions into overdrive, a new teaser trailer (again, emphasis on the teaser) has been released, which actually features Capaldi and Coleman saying stuff! Not a lot of stuff, but when the only thing we’ve heard Twelve say so far is some claptrap about the state of his kidneys, you take what you can get.

According to the series' official Twitter account, our torturous wait for the return of the iconic sci-fi drama Doctor Who has an official end point. Series 8 – and brand-new Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi – will debut this August.

That means we can officially start getting excited now, right?
