For the 60th-Anniversary Special, David Tennant Is Returning to "Doctor Who"

www.popsugar.co.uk, October 25, 2022
In his first "Doctor Who" appearance since 2013, David Tennant is back on his "wobbly, timey stuff." On Sunday, the actor, who was previously known for his role as the tenth Doctor, returned as the 14th Doctor in the long-running BBC series. The plot began after Jodie Whittaker, the first woman to play the character, regenerated in the episode. "What?What?What?" The Time Lord, an extraterrestrial being disguised as a human, realized he'd returned to a previous human form rather than a new one, as he has for the past six decades. In the special, titled "The Power of the Doctor," instead of 10's classic brown trench coat, 14 people wears a dark-blue overcoat. Apart from that, Tennant's characters have a resemblance to one another. "I seem to be dressed in the same way as I used to be," Tennant said in an interview with BBC after the episode aired. "In the end, we've gone for something that's sort of the same but not quite different." That has echoes of the past, but it's also a bit of the future."

Everything That Happened in Season 1 of "House of the Dragon"

www.popsugar.co.uk, October 25, 2022
House Targaryen's titular house, House of Dragons, has a warning — "Fire and Blood" in the House of Lords — and the "Game of Thrones" drama lived up to those words. There were violent deaths and births, saddening tragedies, forensic backstabulations, steamy sex scenes, and swarms of dragons. The first season of The Dance of Dragons tells the story of the realm that the people will be divided and compelled to determine who their true king is: Queen Rhaenyra or Prince Aegon. So far, the show has mostly honed in on Rhaeny and her stepmother Alicent's transformation from childhood acquaintances to violent rivals, who have been torn apart by patriarchal forces. We've got you covered if you want a recap of everything that happened during the first ten episodes of the Westeros-set romance. Here's a recap of season one of "House of the Dragon."

Historians are concerned that a smaller Coronation might't have a 'waste chance to advertise the United Kingdom on a global stage.'

Historical historians caution that if scenes of pomp and pageantry attract the attention of the world to Britain, it could be a lost chance to wield the monarchy's'soft power.' The Queen's state funeral attracted visitors to London and Windsor, and the Coronation may have boosted tourism in London and Windsor. The Coronation, which is set to take place next year, may be a much-needed celebration after a winter marred by the cost of living and the civil war in Ukraine, according to historian Andrew Roberts. However, King Charles is expected to favour a shorter service to honor his aspirations for a slimmed-down, modern monarchy, while still retaining some of the drama and dignity that accompanied the queen's funeral.

There are many jokes about Prince Harry. During a "Today" show interview on September 15, actor Matt Smith reminisced about the incredible interaction he had with the Duke of Sussex when meeting him at a polo match years ago. "He walked up to me and said, 'Grandad,'" Smith recalled, mimicking his handshake with coanchor Savannah Guthrie. Harry's remark on "The Crown" is, of course, a reference to Smith's time as young Prince Philip, aka Harry's grandfather. Though Smith could not confirm whether Harry is a regular viewer of the Netflix drama series or simply watched a few episodes back in the day, the late Queen Elizabeth II remained faithfully on. "She used to watch it on a projector on a Sunday night, so obviously not." Prince Philip "definitely didn't" watch it.

In "House of the Dragon," there is a symbolism behind the hairstyles

www.popsugar.co.uk, September 16, 2022
"House of the Dragon," HBO's prequel to "Game of Thrones," delves into the House Targaryen's turbulent past nearly 200 years ago, before Daenerys Targaryen (played by Emilia Clarke) competed for the Iron Throne. Even though the series introduces us to a whole new cast, including King Viserys Targaryen (Matt Smith), Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith), and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock), to name a few — there's a lot of symbolism in the hair and costumes to unpack, much like the original version. Fans of "Game of Thrones" know that hair color is often a good way to tell members of the household apart. Despite the size of Westeros, a white-blonde typically indicates a Targaryen; a Lannister, not a white blond. Daenerys was known for her icy blonde and intricate half-down braided hairstyles in the original show, while Rhaegar (Wilf Scolding) had bleached and tousled waves. Despite the fact that the new show focuses on a completely different plot, the signature hairstyles are still easy to spot, with similar designs surfacing between King Viserys and Rhaegar, as well as Daenerys and Rhaenyra.

The Queen was known to be a mystery throughout her life, with royal watchers rarely getting a glimpse of Her Majesty's personal life. However, the Queen, who has died at the age of 96, was brought to life in the Netflix series The Crown (pictured), which chronicled her years of service, from her wedding to Prince Philip in 1947 to becoming the monarch at just 25, before finally finding her feet in the role as she met with hundreds of Prime Ministers, Presidents, and world leaders. It has also pointed to difficulties in the beginnings of her marriage to Prince George of Edinburgh, as well as her children's broken marriages throughout the four seasons. However, the show split on how true its portrayals were; in 2021, Prince Harry said that the program is 'loosely based on the truth,' and portrayed the feeling of being expected to place 'duty and service above family and everything else'; However, Prince Charles spoke out about his depiction on film, shocking Scottish politicians that he is 'nowhere near' his character on the program. So, how accurate was the portrayal of Her Majesty? FEMAIL reveals what was real and false in the drama, from her 73-year marriage to Prince Philip to her love of horses and promise to always place duty first.
