Doctor Who is living a bit of a half-life at the moment, as BBC producers and executives do their utmost to say, without committing to anything concrete, that the series has a future after its highly controversial season finale earlier this year. It’s just going to take quite a long time to actually hear anything concrete, so in the meantime we’ve now resorted to… producers calling people mean for wondering if the show has a future. The latest drama comes from an interview with series executive producer Jane Tranter, who described Doctor Who writer Rob Shearman as “rude” for comments he made in a recent interview with Doctor Who Magazine about his own personal relationship to the show. Shearman is a prolific writer of Doctor Who audio dramas and novels but is best known to the modern era of the show for being the writer that brought back the Daleks in 2005’s seminal episode “Dalek”. “I go through phases; I have a real push/pull thing with the show,” Shearman said in an interview for Doctor Who Magazine 622, published last week, to mark the 20th anniversary of the episode (via Den of Geek). “At the moment, I’m in a ‘pull’ phase. It’s weird because the show is probably as dead as we’ve ever known it.” “‘As dead as we’ve ever known.’ That’s really rude, actually. And really untrue,” Tranter pushed back in a new interview with BBC Wales today to mark the anniversary of Doctor Who‘s current production company, Bad Wolf Studios (via Deadline). “The plans for Doctor Who are really simply this: the BBC and BBC Studios had a partnership with Disney+ for 26 episodes. We are currently 21 episodes down into that 26-episode run. We have got another five episodes of [spin-off series] The War Between The Land And The Sea to come. At some point after that, decisions will be made together with all of us about what the future of Doctor Who entails.” “It’s a 60-year-old franchise. It’s been going for 20 years nonstop since we brought it back in 2005,” Tranter continued. “You would expect it to change, wouldn’t you? Nothing continues the same always, or it shouldn’t continue the same always. So it will change in some form or another. But the one thing we can all be really clear of is that the Doctor will be back and everyone, including me, including all of us, just has to wait patiently to see when—and who.” It doesn’t really help that, as Tranter notes, Doctor Who fans have been used to the series as a consistent staple over the last 20 years—although there have been extended breaks between seasons at times, the direct continuation of the show has never really been publicly in doubt since 2005. Even in years when more time was needed for new seasons or transitions between eras, Doctor Who maintained a presence on TV through special one-off episodes. This current gap, where nothing is guaranteed beyond five episodes of a spinoff series that is distinctly not the main TV show, is unprecedented for the modern era of the show, so simply telling people to wait and see if the show will even acknowledge its absurd climax, which saw Ncuti Gatwa regenerate into former series star Billie Piper. But it also doesn’t help that Tranter was only provided part of Shearman’s commentary to respond to—commentary that explains his feelings while also touching on what Tranter herself acknowledged as an air of uncertainty about who the show could even star whenever it returns. “After 1989, we had, for years, a current Doctor. Now, everything that is ever going to be produced in Doctor Who terms is going to feel retrogressive,” Shearman went on to explain. “At least with the New Adventures and then the BBC Books, you thought, ‘It’s the current Doctor—McCoy or McGann.’ No one’s going to start writing Doctor Who books with a Billie Piper Doctor, because no one knows what that means. In a funny way, the closing moments of ‘The Reality War’ seem to put a full stop on things. We didn’t have that before.” And in that regard, Shearman is absolutely right: the BBC’s desire to play coy about what exactly, if anything, Piper’s regeneration actually means, means that Doctor Who currently exists in a status quo it never had, even when it was first cancelled: a nebulous future where all anyone knows is that the most recent Doctor is dead, and the status of their next incarnation is unknown. It’s all well and good saying that the show will be back at some unknown point in the future, but you then can’t really bristle when people also point out that that doesn’t actually mean there’s a future for the show yet. Time will tell just how long we will have to go until we get some definitive answers from the BBC, Disney, or whoever a new partner for Doctor Who might be. But it’s perhaps more likely we’re going to be watching people involved with the series going slowly insane over not being able to provide those answers for a good while yet than it is us watching a Billie Piper Doctor Who movie any time soon.

Japanese fans playing Pokémon Legends Z-A have spotted a rare mention of Pikachu pooping. However, the game's English-language translation adjusts the dialogue — and instead simply references Pikachu experiencing "tummy troubles." According to Automaton, "Pikachu's Poop" briefly trended on X for some Japanese users after the discovery of a Lumiose City NPC who mentions that their Pokémon is unwell. "Pikachu's pooping more than usual, I'm worried," the character reportedly says. There's no follow-up dialogue, leaving players without any further detail on Pikachu's bowel habits. Nevertheless, the mention is notable, based on how infrequently Pokémon actually references the creatures' need to poop at all. ピカチュウのうんち pic.twitter.com/rVetTHbftA— てそ (@teso_026) October 15, 2025 The Pokémon series has occaisonally mentioned Pokémon droppings, suggesting that some species' poop makes for good fertilizer (Diglett), while other species' poop can be dangerously explosive (Turtonator). A particular favorite Pokédex of mine mentions the Fire-type creature Darumaka, whose "droppings are hot so people used to put them in their clothes to keep themselves warm." Lovely. Back to Pikachu, though, and Pokémon Legends: Z-A's English translation of the above scene. As seen by IGN, the explicit mention of poop has been replaced with the following dialogue: "My Pikachu's been having tummy troubles recently. I'm worried..." The English dialogue feels something of a santized take on the game's original script, though in keeping with a franchise about wild creatures that tries to skirt around some of the less family-friendly aspects of their lives whenever possible. Breeding, death and Pokémon eating other Pokémon as food are all canon within the franchise — though it's increasingly rare to hear these elements referenced in the series' games or anime. Earlier today, IGN reported on a viral post discussing whether Pokémon can eat food meant for humans without getting some serious indigestion, sparked by the ability to take in-game photos of your character with their Pokémon hanging out in cafes. And for news on leaks of a different kind, we brought you the latest on this week's spread of information pertaining to unannounced Pokémon projects — much of which has now been scrubbed from social media due to copyright notices.

A MECHANISM to allow Islanders to sack politicians between elections is set to be examined by the body responsible for policing States Members’ conduct, amid renewed questions over the power to remove elected representatives following a series of court cases. Under current rules, the Privileges and Procedures Committee – the body which oversees the States Assembly’s Code of Conduct – can only suspend a politician for breaches of the rules governing Members’ behaviour for a maximum of 28 days. This happened last month when St Saviour Deputy Philip Ozouf was suspended by the Assembly following his conviction in the Magistrate’s Court for motoring offences for which he was fined. Deputy Ozouf has since pleaded guilty to further offences of assisting unlawful immigration in the Royal Court, which could result in a prison sentence. The crimes have prompted questions surrounding the conduct of States Members and the powers to remove them from office. In the UK, a politician can be recalled whereby voters act to remove an elected representative between elections by signing a petition. A recall is successful if 10% of eligible registered voters sign the petition and if the threshold is not met the MP retains their seat. A recall mechanism in the UK can only be called under three circumstances: if an MP is convicted of an offence for which they are jailed; if they are suspended from the House following a report and recommended sanction from the Committee on Standards for a period of at least 10 sitting days, or at least 14 days; or if they are convicted of making false or misleading claims in parliament. While any such mechanism would be unlikely to be brought in before next summer’s election, PPC chair Deputy Steve Ahier confirmed to the JEP that its introduction is currently under discussion. He said: “Recall mechanisms have been raised within the committee previously even prior to [Deputy Ozouf’s court appearances]. “Under States Standing Orders, we can only suspend a Member for up to a maximum of 28 days. I have, on occasion, suggested that this be extended to three months, which would coincide with the length of prison sentence that one would have to receive before one is removed from the Assembly. I would be looking to do that and I do intend to try to bring that motion forward.” He added that any recall mechanism would need to have strict rules in place to ensure that they are not weaponised for politically motivated reasons. The PPC was recently reconstituted following the resignation of Constable Karen Stone as chair, and work had been started by the previous committee on potential recalls and suspensions. “We are going to be revisiting those ideas on our agenda. I am happy to have those conversations. A number of members of PPC have voiced their concerns about the limitations of the current Standing Orders and so that is something we will have to look at,” he said. The previous PPC committee had discussed the introduction of a recall mechanism, but Deputy Ahier noted that this had not been progressed following consultation with other States Members amid concerns over “misuse”. A “consensus view” was unable to be reached, with the then-PPC committee reporting that they were “concerned about whether such a mechanism would be used fairly and responsibly or weaponised by a vocal minority”. In 2021, former St John Constable Chris Taylor resigned from his position having been ordered to do so by the Royal Court. Mr Taylor was convicted of dangerous driving in the Magistrate’s Court and fined £4,000. It later emerged that he had used parish funds to pay for his legal fees – money which he subsequently repaid. The Royal Court can order a Constable’s resignation as they have legal responsibilities. However, there is no such power to compel a Deputy to resign.
Texas officials began notifying the state’s poorest residents on Friday that their food benefits via the Supplemental Food Assistance and Nutrition Program, or SNAP, will be cut off in November if the federal shutdown continues past Oct. 27. In Texas, that would mean a halt to more than $614 million to the 3.5 million who rely each month on SNAP, also known as food stamps. Of those who could be impacted, 1.7 million are children. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service, which oversees the SNAP program, notified state agencies a week ago that if the shut down persists, November payments to participants would be halted. “SNAP has funding available for benefits and operations through the month of October,” according to a letter written by the FNS office to state agencies. “However, if the current lapse in appropriations continues, there will be insufficient funds to pay full November SNAP benefits for approximately 42 million individuals across the Nation.” SNAP benefits are transmitted to Lone Star Card users each month for use at grocery retailers. The payments can range from $200 to $400, depending on a household size with the average amount issued at $379, according to August statistics. The federal government officially shut down at midnight Oct. 1 as lawmakers blew past their deadline to preserve funding for federal agencies, resulting in disrupted services to Texans. The last government shutdown — a partial stoppage in 2018 into 2019 — lasted 35 days. The Texas Health and Human Services, which administers the SNAP program in Texas is directing Lone Star Card users to their website for more information. Currently, other assistance programs — the Temporary Assistance to Need Families or TANF, the Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC, Medicaid and the Children Health Insurance Program or CHIP — are not impacted by the shutdown.
