Our guest for this Episode is the renowned Russian Translator Robert Chandler. He delves into the world of the celebrated Russian Writer Teffi, discussing his translation of the recently released short story compilation 'The Time was no More and Essential Stories and Memories' penned by Teffi. Robert first began learning Russian when he was 15. At 20, he spent a year as a British Council Exchange scholar in Voronezh, the city where Andrey Platonov was born and where Osip Mandelstam was exiled. It was there that he first read these two writers, who have remained precious to him throughout his life.He has also translated Sappho, Teffi, Alexander Pushkin, Vasily Grossman, the Uzbek novelist Hamid Ismailov and the greatly undervalued poet Lev Ozerov; like Grossman, Ozerov was a Russophone Jew, born in Ukraine. He has edited and co-translated three anthologies for Penguin Classics: of Russian poetry, Russian short stories and Russian poetry. He has also run translation workshops in London and taught for an annual summer school. He has worked as a mentor to younger translators. Before deciding to translate full-time, he worked for eight years as a teacher of the Alexander Technique - a valuable discipline concerning voice, breath and movement.”https://tinyurl.com/b9j4cmtj* For your Valuable feedback on this Episode - Please click the link below.https://tinyurl.com/4zbdhrwrHarshaneeyam on Spotify App –https://harshaneeyam.captivate.fm/onspotHarshaneeyam on Apple App – https://harshaneeyam.captivate.fm/onapple*Contact us - harshaneeyam@gmail.com ***Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by Interviewees in interviews conducted by Harshaneeyam Podcast are those of the Interviewees and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Harshaneeyam Podcast.

In this thought-provoking episode of "A Beginner's Guide to AI," Professor Gep-Hardt takes listeners on a captivating journey through the lens of H.G. Wells' classic science fiction novel, 'The Time Machine.' We explore the profound parallels between Wells' visionary tale and the contemporary world of AI, delving into themes of technology-driven class division, the loss of human agency, and the ethical implications of AI development. Discover how the novel's depiction of a future split into the Eloi and Morlocks offers a cautionary tale about the potential impact of AI on society. We discuss the risks of over-reliance on AI, the dangers of a power imbalance, and the importance of ethical considerations in AI advancement. Join us as we analyze a real-world case study on workforce automation, reflecting on how AI is reshaping the nature of work and the challenges of managing this transition. We also invite AI enthusiasts to contribute to the conversation, encouraging a deeper understanding of AI's complexities.

Note: The planned Best Podcast in Baseball episode with author Will Leitch, of New York Magazine and MLB.com, begins at 18:20. While recording a conversation with Leitch about his new novel, the cameo in it by the Cardinals, and his beginnings as a sportswriter, Best Podcast in Baseball host Derrick Goold had to step aside to write a tribute and obituary for Hall of Fame journalist and longtime St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Rick Hummel. This episode begins with a memorial of Hummel from two people have shared a page in the newspaper with him -- one for a brief wonderful time as a Cardinals fan and forever reader of the Post-Dispatch and the other for 20 years as a colleague and sidekick at the ballpark. The previously recorded episode about Leitch's new novel, how sports writing influences his storytelling, and his view of the 2023 Cardinals, Willson Contreras, and if the recent upswing in their success is real -- or, like any novel, a red herring. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ralston College presents a lecture delivered on March 17th, 2022 by Theodore Dalrymple (aka Anthony Daniels) on H. G. Wells's extraordinary 'scientific romance,' 'The Time Machine'.  A brilliant seer and prophet with a very pessimistic view of humanity, Wells was, nevertheless, a naive and shallow political thinker. The two sides of his mind—the artistic and the ideological; the 'unofficial' and the 'official'—were in conflict. In his writings and personal life, Wells embodied the cultural and philosophical schisms underlying the most important political and sociological questions of our time.  Wells's prescient insights, and troubling self-contradictions point to deep questions at the heart of human nature.

This week's guest is Lisa Mehling, the owner of Chelsea Pictures, who last month were named the winner of the Palme D'Or as the Production Company of the Year at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. Lisa doesn't like to talk about herself. But her journey is an important one to understand as we struggle to build a society that supports all people. The single biggest decision we make in our lives is this. How will we use the time we get while we are here? How will we spend this moment? And this one? And this? Are we reacting or acting? Waiting or moving? Hoping or choosing? Time has moved differently over the last 18 months. We have learned new rhythms - some faster, some slower. But very little about the way we have spent our time has felt familiar. Until we got used to it, and it did. Sometimes in good ways. Sometimes in bad. And then the vaccines came. And now we have to figure out how we spend our time all over again. Which makes this moment a gift. I'm fortunate to see across and inside a wide range of industries and businesses. And what I'm increasingly certain of is that what came before 2020 will have increasingly little to do with what comes after. We have been living for a long time with norms and expectations that were designed and implemented during the Industrial Age. The 40 hour work week for instance, despite all the data that shows working fewer hours dramatically increases both performance and personal well-being. The Industrial Age started in about 1760 and ended sometime in the mid 20th century. Conservatively, that means we left the Industrial Age about 70 years ago. And yet we're still tied to its apron strings. Human beings are creatures of habit, genetically, biologically, built on rhythms. The rising of the sun, the speed of our breathing, the gestation period of creating new life. There are so many fundamental aspects of our existence that we can't control. But if you're listening to this podcast, there are many, many things about your life that you can control. You have agency. To decide and to act. To test the boundaries of what is possible and to discover who you are in the process. The power to unlock creative thinking and innovation depends on challenging assumptions and breaking down norms. Or, as Lisa said, of not waiting for permission that you don't need. These moments are fleeting. New structures and practices and expectations and processes will be here before we know it. So you can wait until someone tells you what's allowed. Or you can save yourself ten years and decide yourself.

Eyeing his own 2024 presidential bid, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan unloaded on President Trump this week, saying Trump was too quick to stoke anger and engage in political combat, and too slow to build victories on policy. Stephen also shares details on his story on smugglers posing as fake families, enslaving children into forced labor. Smugglers and parents in Central America quickly figured out that bringing a child meant quick release and a chance to disappear. Stephen calls these cases just the tip of the iceberg.

In part 3 of the interview, Jasmine Opperman - an analyst at Armed Conflict Localization and Event Data Project (ACLED) - stresses the urgency for intervention which requires more than awaiting. She talks about our government and the role that we can play in assisting Mozambique in this crisis.

Unless you missed it, the Chinese have accused the US Army of releasing this Wuhan Novel Corona Virus, Covid 19, as a Bio-Weapon. I will come back to that. Also, in case you missed it, the UK Government does not NOT want us all to get the Virus. No, that is not a typing error, it’s a nice way of saying that essence of their plan and actions, seems for the nation to take an high infection ‘hit’ now as is possible, so as to increase ‘herd immunity’ for the future, so that we don’t have to come back round this way again. All my figures are speculative for the white coats refuse to speculate, but even so, Sir Patrick Vallance saidin an ideal scenario, 60% of the UK would become infected with Corvid-19 to help us all be "a bit protected" from the virus. Surely ‘herd immunity' should be an outcome, not a goal?It seems that the UK strategy is to make ‘herd immunity’ a goal, and this will be costly in terms of, and let me just say it, in terms of killing more people. Other people are quoting a far higher infection rate to achieve this so called herd immunity, and a far higher kill rate to go with it, but it seems that through the boffins were willing to throw a few speculative numbers around for infection and kill rates (both quite low) they were unwilling to speculate on how many would die? However, on those figures given by the UK white-coats, my spreadsheets says around 400,000 dead in the UK and over 2 Million dead in the USA.Even that old communist with three mansions, Mr. Bernie Sanders had speculated more will die in the USA than there were US casualties in WWII.That’s a BIG hit, indeed, so big a hit that the grave pits which the Iranians are digging to bury Corona Virus victims can be seen from space. Don't believe the Government, it might just save your life.However, the Corona Virus we have is only the flu and most people will have only mild symptoms and feel a bit achy. I mean, just like Tom Hanks (Mega-Rich and getting the best health care in the world) says it is so. Fortunately, most people do not believe the Government (this is a good thing as it might just save your life) and are already cancelling large gatherings and pulling their kids out of school. Come on Boris, catch up! It’s a terrible thing to say, but let’s sincerely hope the UK boffins are correct! for any increase in those figures of infection and kill rates, yield far, far more deaths. Now you know why the world is panicking. (By the way, I am not, and I will come back to that later on as well.) Globalism is under attack. Thank God!Also, unless you missed it, Globalism is under attack and I hope will hopefully die in the pandemic as well, and good riddance to it. Nationalism is hopefully on the rise, and so it should be, for nationalism is God’s protection chiefly from the spread of sin and rebellion against Him, but it doesn’t half help in protecting cultures from the spread of all sorts of external corruption, including the Wuhan 2019, Novel Corona Virus, Covid-19. (I might come back to that later as well.) I suspect that this is why nations have been and continue in closing their borders, and those who did so at the beginning of this unnecessary and grossly mismanaged mess, might just come out of it all better than the rest of us tainted with the politically correct cancer of a virulent Globalism. We are not yet in 'The Time of The End'Speaking as a Christian, and it’s a crying shame I have to clarify and quantify ‘Christian, so, speaking as a Bible Believing Christian then, I do not believe we are yet in the time of the end, nor Support the show (http://www.victorrobert.tv)

Pulitzer Prize-winning dramas hit North Bay stages, first with the Raven Players production of Neil Simon’s Lost in Yonkers. Simon, whose best-known works are comedies tinged with a little melancholy (The Odd Couple, The Sunshine Boys) won the 1991 Pulitzer for Yonkers, which is a melancholy family drama tinged with comedy. With their mother deceased and their father off to work to pay off a loan shark he owes for covering his late wife’s medical bills, Jay (Ari Votzaitis) and Arty (Logan Warren) find themselves living for ten months in 1942 with their tyrannical grandmother (Trish DeBaun) and their mentally-challenged Aunt Bella (Priscilla Locke) in Yonkers, New York. Grandma Kurnitz is cold, demanding, and unable to express affection of any kind. She does not want the children there, but Bella does. The battle is on, first between Kurnitz and her grandchildren, but ultimately between mother and daughter. Director Joe Gellura has a strong ensemble at work in this piece with laughs generated by Warren as Simon’s alter ego. The key performance is delivered by Locke, excellent as the daughter simply looking for a little happiness in her life. It’s a sensitive performance that grounds this show and gives it more heart than one expects from a typical Simon play. ‘Lost in Yonkers ' runs Friday through Sunday through April 15 at the Raven Performing Arts Center. 115 North St., in Healdsburg. Friday & Saturday evenings at 8pm; Sunday matinee at 2pm.

A glance through the bios in their programs shows a mix of trained veterans, community actors, and a fair number of newcomers. This willingness to cast from the community, while commendable, often leads to a variance in the quality of their productions. Their current presentation of William Saroyan’s prize-winning-but-severely-dated The Time of Your Life is a good example. The show, a sort of pre-WWII Cheers, has a cast of sixteen with various levels of experience playing the denizens of a San Francisco dive bar circa 1939. There’s no real plot, just a variety of human flotsam and jetsam floating through the tavern. In an early scene, one character asks another if a performance they’re watching is any good. The response – “It’s awful, but it’s honest and ambitious...” I can’t improve on Saroyan. 'The Time of Your Life' runs Friday through Sunday through April 15 at the Cloverdale Performing Arts Center, 209 N. Cloverdale Blvd., in Cloverdale. Friday & Saturday evening at 7:30pm; Sunday matinee at 2pm. For more information, go to cloverdaleperformingarts.com.

IT'S FINALLY HERE AND WE'RE FINALLY BACK!   We sit down and review Matt Smith's departure from Doctor Who in 'The Time of The Doctor'   Look, we know Capaldi is in full swing but give us a break. Our computer was buggered.   Originally recorded on Boxing Day 2013.

with thanks to wiki "The Time of the Doctor" is the 800th episode of the British science fiction television programme , written by  and directed by , and was broadcast on 25 December 2013 on BBC One. It features the final regular appearance of as the  and the first regular appearance of  as the following his brief cameo in "". The episode also features  as the Doctor's companion , plus several enemies of the Doctor, including the , , , and . "The Time of the Doctor" is the third instalment in a loose  of episodes, following "" and "", which together serve as the Eleventh Doctor's . The episode addresses numerous plot threads developed over the course of Smith's tenure, including the prophecy of the Silence and the Doctor's fate on the planet , while also dealing with the regeneration limit established in. "The Time of the Doctor" is also the 800th individual episode ofDoctor Who, the ninth Christmas special since the show's 2005 revival, and Matt Smith's fourth and final Christmas special as the Eleventh Doctor. Contents   []  Plot[] The Doctor is among thousands of aliens orbiting an unknown planet, from which a message that no one can translate is being broadcast continually across time and space. With the assistance of a modified  head nicknamed "Handles," which he uses as a , the Doctor briefly visits two of these ships, before leaving to Earth to pick up  and briefly meeting her family. On returning, Handles identifies the planet as being , the lost planet of the , a statement the Doctor vehemently rejects. The Doctor and Clara are invited on board the first ship to arrive at the scene — the Church of the Papal Mainframe, a space church headed by Mother Superious Tasha Lem, an old acquaintance of the Doctor. Tasha states that the Church has secured the planet with a  and that the message instills fear into all who have heard it, then asks if the Doctor wishes to be the first to explore the cause of the message. On arriving on the planet, The Doctor and Clara are attacked by Weeping Angels, but using the key under his wig, The Doctor materializes the  around them. Now using the TARDIS as transport, The Doctor and Clara find a town called Christmas, that is surrounded by a truth field that prevents anyone from telling a lie. The message's origin is quickly identified as a crack in reality in the church tower; this crack is "scar tissue" from the cracks originally closed when the Doctor rebooted the universe (""). Handles identifies the language of the message as Gallifreyan and with the Doctor's help, translates the message as a question: "Doctor who?" (the 'first question' in ""), repeating endlessly. It is a request that the Doctor should speak his real name and thereby confirm it is truly he who is there. The Doctor concludes that his people, the , are using the crack in the universe and calling to him for help, from the  in which Gallifrey was trapped (""), from which they wish to escape. If the Doctor answers the question and speaks his real name, the Time Lords will know they have found the right place and come through to their home universe. However, this would also trigger a renewal of the as the alien species gathered above descend to destroy them, and Tasha states this will not be allowed to happen: the planet will be destroyed first at whatever cost. The Doctor asks the name of the planet, and she states "", the planet where the Doctor knows he will one day die and have his tomb (""). The Doctor tricks Clara into plugging a device into the TARDIS which transports her home, and remains on Trenzalore to defend the planet from incursions by the aliens overhead, creating a  where he cannot leave without sacrificing his home planet and its people, nor can he be removed for fear he will speak his name and let them return. Immediately after landing Clara home, the TARDIS begins to return to Trenzalore, but Clara manages to hold on to the outside of the ship and join it on its return trip. However, to protect her from the , the TARDIS is forced to increase its shields, consequently slowing down the return journey. Arriving back at Christmas, Clara meets a visibly aged Doctor who has spent 300 years defending the town. He reveals to her that, although he is known as the Eleventh Doctor, he has already used all of his , once  and the Tenth Doctor's aborted regeneration ("") are counted. He is therefore in his final body and can no longer regenerate. He and Clara are then brought to the Papal Mainframe—now. Here, he learns that during this protracted , a chapter of the Church broke away and tried to avert these events by killing off the Doctor in the past: by destroying his TARDIS ("") and engineering  to kill him (""). Additionally, Tasha and her crew have been taken over by Dalek consciousnesses, converted into 'Dalek puppets'. The Doctor taunts Tasha, awakening her anger, and allowing her to resist the Dalek consciousness within her. They all escape the ship and return to the planet, as the Dalek fleet receives reinforcements and masses for war. Despite promising never to send Clara away again, the Doctor does so and she returns to Earth as the siege of Trenzalore becomes an all out war. As the centuries pass, most of the races depart or are destroyed, leaving only the Silence (with whom the Doctor puts aside his differences and allies himself) and the Daleks. Later the same day (from Clara's perspective), the TARDIS reappears; Clara enters to find Tasha piloting the TARDIS. Noting that "flying the TARDIS was always easy, it's flying the Doctor that I've never quite mastered", Tasha returns Clara to Trenzalore, as "no one should die alone", sending her to meet with the now old and frail Doctor at the point when the Daleks finally win control of the town. With nothing left, the Doctor goes out to face the Daleks in a final stand. Clara, unable to watch what will follow, returns to the time crack and through it, begs the Time Lords to somehow save the Doctor, urging that it is owed to him for all he has done in his lives. The Doctor is preparing to die outside, when the time crack vanishes from Clara's sight in the tower, to appear across the night sky.  energy flows from the crack and into the Doctor: the Time Lords have granted the Doctor a complete new regeneration cycle, thereby saving him from death. As his thirteenth regeneration starts, the Doctor uses the excess energy to destroy the Daleks facing him. In the aftermath, Clara finds the Doctor, young again, back in the TARDIS. He states that this temporary rejuvenation is a 'reset' for the new cycle of regenerations to begin and the second phase of the regeneration is taking some time to start up, but he will soon change. He delivers a eulogy to his current form, and hallucinates a final farewell to , the first person he met after . He then removes his , a defining feature of his eleventh incarnation, and abruptly regenerates into . After exclaiming that he has 'new kidneys' and dislikes their colour, the new Doctor worriedly asks a shocked Clara if she knows how to fly the TARDIS.

Revealed in the trailer is the Doctor's return to Trenzalore and the tagline "Silence Will Fall", which has been repeated through Matt Smith's run as the Doctor. Recasting the Doctor[] On 1 June, the BBC announced that Smith would be departing the series after almost four years, with the Christmas special episode being the episode of transition between Smith's Doctor and the next regeneration. The announcement sparked media and fan speculation as to who the next Doctor might be. It was announced on 4 August 2013, during a special broadcast – Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor – that the twelfth incarnation of the Doctor would be played by . Although it was originally announced that Capaldi would debut as the new Doctor at some point during the Christmas special, he actually debuted in a cameo appearance in "", in which only his hand and his eyes are visible.

Broadcast and reception[] "The Time of the Doctor" was broadcast in the United Kingdom on  on Christmas Day 2013 when it received initial overnight ratings of 8.30 million viewers (30.7% share) against the long running soap opera  which got 7.9 million viewers (though this was later bumped to 8.27 million after the later repeat showing on  was factored in).  was the second most watched programme of the entire day across all channels, with the final 5 minutes (the regeneration from Smith to Capaldi) receiving the largest peak viewers of the day with 10.2 million. The final viewing figures for the episode were 11.14 million viewers, making it the fifth most watched Doctor Who Christmas special. It was also shown on 25 December in the United States on , where, with 2.47m viewers, it achieved the highest ever audience figures for the channel, beating the previous record set just over month beforehand with "". It was also seen in Canada on , in Germany on Fox and in Israel on . In Australia it aired on 26 December on, and in New Zealand, it screened on  during Boxing Day evening with 106,390 viewers. It received an of 83 in the UK. The episode holds an 86% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critical reception[] Dan Martin of  praised the episode as "awfully good". He wrote, "[Steven Moffat] performed the fourth remix of the show's mythology in a row, tying up strands that date back to the beginning of Matt Smith's run." He added, "Perfectly, the rebooting of his regeneration cycle was done simply... Who could have guessed the Doctor's renewed regeneration cycle would be dealt with as simply as his best friend just asking nicely?"  gave the episode a score of 8.4, "GREAT", writing that "'The Time of the Doctor' was an exemplary exercise in celebrating the departure of a loved one. If you managed to stay dry-eyed during the Doctor's goodbye to Clara (itself a not-entirely-transparent goodbye from Smith to the role he embodied), then you should probably double check your heart's still working," also lauding Karen Gillan's "rather crowd-pleasing, tear-inducing cameo". While criticizing its "rapid, almost breathless pace", they concluded, "It was a melancholic yet ultimately merry end to one of the show's best Doctors to date."  said that Matt Smith exited "with comic energy" and "grace", stating, "The Christmas special embodies the heartfelt style and playfulness that Matt Smith brought to his spell as the Time Lord. There are two ways to watch the series. The first requires a deep knowledge of its complicated 50-year-history and an ability to keep complicated strands of time-twisting action straight in one's head. The other way is to watch it for the poetry, the resonances and the connections and a sense of wonder about life (extra-terrestrially dressed at times, but our life underneath)."  noted similarities between the episode and the previous regeneration story: , with The Doctor seeing the person he first saw in his current incarnation before regenerating and "both are weighed under by the ominous, threatening shadow of their previous legacies, and in ways, both falter because of it." However they felt the "plot itself doesn't really quite hold up to the rest of the storytelling". They criticized Moffat for doing another "carnival of monsters, but this time, never feels quite justified, outside of a 'wouldn't it be cool *if*' moment." They also felt that it would best be suited to a two-parter like The End of Time, "with that extra time to breathe, it might not have felt so rushed, and Moffat might have had the chance to explain things a little deeper." But they too praised Smith saying, "Smith shines in his final outing as The Doctor. It's a whizz through his greatest hits if you will, from humour to grandiose speechery, to his magical capacity to make your lip quiver with a glance of his eyes." Overall they called it "a fitting end to the Matt Smith era." Jon Cooper of  gave the episode a positive review, calling it "Easily the highlight of Christmas telly," and that it "gave Matt Smith a perfect send off." They awarded the episode 4 stars out of 5. He praised Smith saying, "Easily the best he's put in since his tenure began." He criticized the pacing saying, "viewers hoping for an all-out intergalactic bloodbath must've left feeling disappointed, hundreds of years of inter-species warfare were skipped over in the blink of an eye". He also found the need for every single one of the Doctor's enemies to be there pointless, saying "Daleks on their own would have more than sufficed." He also found similarities with The End of Time, mainly the regeneration sequence, with the Doctor removing one piece of his costume before changing, and the now traditional callback to the previous regeneration with Capaldi's entrance with the kidneys line. The Independent gave a positive review saying that, "Smith gave a cracking final performance before bowing out." They also said that the episode " was a sci-fi spectacular!" But they also criticized the plot as being too complicated for its own good. Morgan Jeffrey of Digital Spy gave the episode 4 stars out of 5 and said that "Matt Smith steals the show, his final turn on Doctor Who is one of his very finest, perhaps even his absolute best." He also compared it to 's final episode and said "Smith's regeneration scene too is a thing of beauty, like David Tennant before him, Smith gets to break the fourth wall, just a little, in his extended final monologue, [...] it's perfect." He also was positive towards Clara and suggested that she was now being written in a more human, empathetic way "in the wake of the Impossible Girl arc", although such efforts were "well-intentioned but rushed", he felt that there were "steps being taken in the right direction" with the character. He praised Jenna Coleman's performance, saying she is "dependably excellent." But he did say "'The Time of the Doctor' is a case of the parts being greater than the whole. It has great scenes and standout moments rather than being a great episode." He also criticized the pacing and felt that "a repetitive story structure robbing many key moments of their power." Alasdair Wilkins of  was overwhelmingly positive in his review, praising the subtle emotional complexities. "This episode belongs to Matt Smith, and it's entirely likely that this will go down as his finest work in the role. Steven Moffat takes great care to spotlight every aspect of Smith's Doctor. He is alternately grumpy, funny, awkward, flirty, inquisitive, giddy, and heartbroken, and that simply covers the bits up to the reveal of the crack in reality. The old-age makeup isn't entirely convincing—though I'm not honestly sure any old-age makeup has ever been entirely convincing—but Smith nicely modulates his performance to suits the increasingly wizened versions of his Doctor." He also praised the episode for being an effective "final act" rather than a standalone story. He gave the episode a rating of "A". Kyle Anderson of  wrote the finale "might leave a percentage of fandom cold, but... I can't think of a better way for the Eleventh Doctor to end his tenure." He stated, "There were lots of loose ends for writer Steven Moffat to tie up, but somehow he did it." Of The Doctor's protection of Trenzalore: "It's this action that is the perfect farewell to the Eleventh Doctor. He's the Doctor, more than any other, who has run away and not wanted to be tied to any one place or time... compelled to stay put to save each and every life he can." The final scene "[allowed] the Eleventh Doctor to go out with dignity and both appreciate the sadness of leaving without casting a pall over the new." He added, "We get our first, very fleeting glimpse of the next Doctor, Peter Capaldi, who is just as intense and strange as we probably expected." Tim Martin of  gave the episode three stars, criticizing the complexity of the episode and the fact that loose plot holes were all left to be answered in just 60 minutes: "Every time the Gordian plot-knot gets sonic-screwdrivered into submission for the 60-minute limit, the writers just tap the remnants into Later. What's the deal with the creepy brain-wiping creatures known as The Silence? Later. The name of the Doctor? Later, and then we get The Time of the Doctor, where every second line seems to offer a footnote to some arcane Wikipedia entry on Whovian lore." But he praised Smith's final performance saying, "the actor was so good as the childlike alien." Radio Times said they were "really warming to the current companion, especially now she's free of the "Impossible Girl" baggage. Perky, resourceful, best-friend material, Jenna Coleman's Clara has a tangible echo of Lis Sladen's Sarah about her." They noticed anEnd of Time call back, with The Doctor seeing his previous companions before his regeneration and how the  destroyed the TARDIS with regeneration energy, the Eleventh doctor destroyed a Dalek ship with it. They look forward to seeing Peter Capaldi take over with his "Gaunt, lizard-like [face] and with frou-frou hair. [...] In Peter Capaldi, we have a dream-wish Doctor." Home media[] "The Time of the Doctor" is due to be released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2014, in Australia on 22 January 2014 and in the United States on 4 March 2014. It will be accompanied with a behind-the-scenes feature and two documentaries. The UK and Australian releases will additionally come with an extra disc featuring the Eleventh Doctor's previous Christmas specials, "", "" and "". References[]
