Radio Free Skaro #1042 - Will You Still Need Me?

Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

Happy Doctor Who Day, everyone! The Three Who Rule celebrate the 62nd birthday for our favourite television show as only Doctor Who fans can, by morosely speculating on the show’s increasingly grim prospects in light of an ever-changing media landscape. Fun! Plus we look into Rachel Talalay’s and Dalek 63-88’s latest lovely Youtube videos, the newly released schedule for Surf and Turf, audio fun with The Wheel in Space on vinyl and various Big Finish bits and bobs, and Day Three of our Torchwood: Children of Earth retrospecticus!

Radio Free Skaro #1041 - Staircase to Heaven

Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

The War Between the Land and the Sea is premiering Sunday, December 7! While that throws a wrench in our usually stable release plans, we’re certain we can all cope through the first three weeks of December. In other news, the Three Who Rule calm the waters on missing episode rumblings, a follow-up on Tubi disintegrating Classic Doctor Who from its listings, Gallifrey One news, more staircase intrigues, and the Pondcast, a new podcast featuring none other than Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill reminiscing about their time on Doctor Who! But the real highlight is a descent into 2009 with the...

Radio Free Skaro #1040 - Scotland 1965

Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

The Three Who Rule take on the big questions this week, including whether or not to call the Sea Devils “Homo Aqua,” possible BBC broadcast plans for The War Between the Land and the Sea, the existence of 4K 35mm transfers of telecined old TV shows, and most importantly the spreading media virus known as the Spiral Staircase, which has driven Steven further around the bend than usual! Plus Tubi intrigue regarding the status of Classic Doctor Who, Doctor Who Magazine issuing massive pieces about Carole Ann Ford and Terry Nation, and most importantly, the first of our five-part re-evaluation...

Radio Free Skaro #1039 - So Here It Is

Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

The moment has arrived! That is, an actual announcement of Doctor Who’s future from the BBC (and not the outgoing Disney+) in the form of a last hurrah from Russell T Davies and Bad Wolf by way of a Christmas special in 2026, along with official confirmation of Turf and Surf hitting the iPlayer this Christmas and Disney+ in February. What does this portend for both the present and future of Doctor Who? The Three Who Rule put on their television detective hats and as usual solve nothing, as do many entertainment journalists including friend of the show Kyle Anderson, and lesser lights such as...

Radio Free Skaro #1038 - They're Booing Shakespeare

Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

After a week of not-news coverage where Chris and Warren wandered the Earth and comedian, Who historian and legend Toby Hadoke ably guested, the Three Who Rule are reunited and tackle a shedload of news, including a scoop about The War Between the Land and the Sea airing at different times on the BBC and Disney+, Carole Ann Ford letting loose on the unused Season 2 finale of one Doctor Who, Jane Tranter explaining how TV works in 2025 (not so well!), tons of Big Finish, and most importantly, Part the Third of our Classic Series Commentary for The Sun Makers!

Radio Free Skaro #1037 - In Front of Behind the Sofa

Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

With the Three Who Rule down to one as both Warren and Chris are gallivanting in parts known and unknown this weekend, and with both the Doctor Who Season 13 Collection and the Blake’s 7 Series 2 Collection releases imminent, this week Steven turns the entire episode to a chat with friend of the show Toby Hadoke! Toby recounts working on several extras included across both Blu-ray sets, and also the recent positive hubbub regarding missing Doctor Who episodes generates some excited chatter. Links:

Radio Free Skaro #1036 - The Restorationists!

Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

The potential imminent return of some missing Doctor Who episodes is top of mind this week, thanks to an interview with John Franklin, Sue Malden, and Professor Justin Smith from Film is Fabulous! on Tim Burrows’ excellent Missing Episodes Podcast. The Three Who Rule preview the episode and talk of the “several missing episodes” that are in collections right now, as well as telling you how you can help the Film is Fabulous! project. Also, the Series 10 soundtrack is coming, Pete McTighe will be at Gallifrey One, and it’s Part Two of our Classic Series Commentary for “The Sun...

Radio Free Skaro #1035 - Six Suns on Pluto

Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

Wild speculation abounds as rumours of the BBC and Bad Wolf “it’s not you, it’s me” -ing each other surface given the somewhat mid (as the kids say) reception to the latest iteration of Doctor Who, The Three Who Rule have theories a-plenty as to the show’s next steps, anchored by nothing but their half-formed notions of media literacy (and some inside knowledge). Besides that, we have more exciting Big Finish previews, a Verity! mention on UK game show “The Chase” and the first part of our Class Series Commentary for seminal 1970s serial “The Sun Makers!” Links: BBC...

Radio Free Skaro #1034 - Quizlings

Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

In a show of mercy by the wayward forces of the universe, the news list is short and sweet this week as we delve into new Gallifrey One guests, Ncuti Gatwa’s Scottish BAFTA nomination, our usual forensic examination of Big Finish covers, and our feature, an interview with Doctor Who writer Beth Axford about her latest work, the Official Doctor Who Quiz Book and well as her upcoming work of fiction, Doctor Who: Firefall! Extra special Canadian content contained therein! Links: Interview:

Radio Free Skaro #1033 - Horton Hears a Who

Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

It’s an soundtastic week for Doctor Who with not only a bumper crop of Big Finish announcement but also BBC audiobook excitement, comic book to audio adaptations, plus some expensive dollies, comic books in digital form and (back to audio) an interview with Michael Stevens, the senior content producer at BBC Audiobooks! It’s almost too much aural content to handle! So handle it! Links: Interview:

More Episodes

There’s new stirrings in the world of Doctor Who production, one being an official BBC search for new producers of an new animated Doctor Who series for Time Tots on CBeebies, and a much more tenuous rumour about discontent between Russell T Davies, a potential streaming suitor, and a push for a grittier, aged-up series. Join the Three Who Rule who cogitate on the possibilities of Doctor Who’s future, along with Big Finish news, the improbable return of 80s laff-fest Spaceballs, and Part One of our Classic Series Commentary for The Visitation!
