We've known for a while that the new, huge special episodes of Doctor Who will air at some point starting in November, but the BBC has until now kept quiet as to exact transmission dates. Well, the Beeb (and Disney+ for those outside the UK and Ireland) has finally let the cat out of the Tardis, with word that the first special, The Star Beast will arrive on screens on 25 November. Yes, that's two days after the show's actual anniversary on 23 November, but a prime Saturday evening slot.
The other two specials, Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle follow on 2 and 9 December respectively. The new specials see David Tennant back in the role of the Doctor (though this time the official 14th incarnation rather than the 10th) alongside Catherine Tate, back as Donna Noble.
And they'll have to deal with a fresh take on classic villain the Toymaker, played here by Neil Patrick Harris.

If you haven’t given The Mandalorian‘s Season 2 finale a recent rewatch, you may want to cue it up ahead of the Season 3 premiere.
After all, we last tuned into The Mandalorian proper (as opposed to “Season 2.5” aka The Book of Boba Fett Episodes 5, 6 and 7) more than two years ago. You might remember it as the finale that sprung on us a digitally recreated post-rotj Luke Skywalker, which merited a headline or 100.

Doctor Who was filled with surprises this year. First was the announcement that Russell T. Davies, the man most responsible for bringing Doctor Who back to television in 2005, would be returning as showrunner. Then came the special “The Power of the Doctor,” which saw Jodie Whittaker regenerate not into Ncuti Gatwa, slated to play the next Doctor, but into former Doctor David Tennant, who will star in a 60th Anniversary three-parter next November.
Joining Tennant will be his third companion Donna Noble, played again by Catherine Tate. But the first teaser for the upcoming episodes hints at the return of even more unlikely characters from the Time Lord’s past.
The teaser highlights the expected fallout of the Doctor’s regeneration, as Tennant plays a confused Fourteenth Doctor battling aliens and Gatwa’s soon-to-be Fifteenth Doctor asks just what the hell is going on here. Before Gatwa’s arrival, Tennant...

After 10 weeks, 40 games and nearly $1.4 million in earnings, Amy Schneider’s “Jeopardy!” reign has finally come to an end.
On Wednesday’s show, the engineering manager from Oakland, California scored second place at $19,600. She was dethroned by Chicago librarian Rhone Talsma, who finished in first place at $29,600 after hitting the Daily Double.
Going into the final round, Schneider maintained a lead of $10,000 over Talsma. Under the category “Countries of the World,” the clue was “The only nation in the world whose name in English ends in an ‘H,’ it’s also one of the 10 most populous.”
While Talsma correctly answered “Bangladesh,” Schneider did not provide a response, concluding the game and her winning streak.
Reflecting on the game, Schneider said she knew the competition would be stiff going into it.
“I loved hanging out with [Talsma], we had great conversation before the taping, but I could tell that he was here...
