Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

With months to go before new episodes and a new Doctor, fans and indeed the media are grabbing at any vague crumb they can find, as evidenced by the Radio Times online arm clickbaiting their way into several stories telling us…precisely nothing. But ex-Who poobah Steven Moffat also spoke recently about what he would have done had David Tennant stayed on as the Doctor (spoilers: more or less series 6) and Titan's Doctor Who line is coming back this summer for Free Comic Book Day, and will in some way introduce their take on Jodie Whittaker's Doctor! But the main event is the second half of our look at Steven Moffat's time showrunning Doctor Who, as Heather Berberet, Kyle Anderson and Paul Booth return to look at the Peter Capaldi era! Links: – Series 11 Episode 1 will be 65 minutes – Steven Moffat and what might have been – Titan relaunches Doctor Who line this summer – Toby Hadoke's "For The Love Of Doctor Who" – Jeremy Wilkin died Panel: – Heather Berberet – Kyle Anderson – Paul Booth – DePaul Pop Culture Conference

The countdown to Gallifrey One continues, with the official convention schedule out for your perusal and ticket transfers up and running until January 31! Also, news of Jo Whit/P-Cap salary equilibrium…and, well that's it for the news really. And good thing too, because we have part one of our mammoth look back at the Steven Moffat era! This segment focuses on the Matt Smith years and features Doctor Who on the Couch's Heather Berberet, Nerdist scribe, and co-host of Doctor Who: The Writer's Room, Kyle Anderson, and educator, podcaster and all around lovely fellow Paul Booth!

Gallifrey One is edging closer to reality and we're pleased to announce our live show will start off the Friday festivities with "Radio Free Skaro and the Seven Keys to Doomsday," with Sylvester McCoy, Rona Munro, Philip Martin, Stephen Wyatt, Hayley Nebauer and Lawrence Gough! We also have news of other Gally guests, Blu-ray missives regarding Shada and Season 12, audio updates both Big Finish and otherwise, and our interview from Chicago TARDIS with Peri Brown herself, Nicola Bryant!

The Series 11 news train continues unabated, with director announcements, pointless speculation on the amount of Doctor Who content headed our way from the BBC, Gallifrey One news, Time Lord science (which is elevated in Leicester), and a brief but lovely interview from Long Island Who with Dalek operator and Big Finish writer and director Barnaby Edwards! Links: – Series 11 Block 2 directed by Mark Tonderai – Series 11 Block 3 directed by Sallie Aprahamian – Series 11 to be over 11 hours? – Whittaker will use her Yorkshire accent – Whittaker filmed her regeneration scene the day after she was announced as The Doctor – Steven Moffat Fan Show interview, part 1 – Gally adds Redgrave, loses Clarke, Richardson and Ford – Gally announced more guests, sale of reception tickets – Gally exclusive Titan Twelfth Doctor cover – Science of the Time Lords – David Fisher died – David Fisher Miniscope Interview: – Barnaby Edwards – Long Island Who

Welcome to 2018 which, for now at least, is the Time of Not Much Happening, exemplified by a rather sparse news list this week in the form of "Twice Upon A Time" stats, writer non-participation, new Gallifrey One guests, and the fact that Doctor Who is filming in South Africa! But also, for your edification and entertainment, we also have an interview with Sophie Aldred and Lisa Greenwood from Chicago TARDIS. Listen, enjoy and patiently wait for Series 11 with the rest of us!

A year is about to expire, with a new 365 days around the sun just around the corner, and with this transition comes…stats. Yes, those of you who need to know the intimate details of eyeballs upon telescreens during the airing of "Twice Upon a Time", fret no longer, we have all that information and more, including a truly mindbending look at how television scientists (including several Restoration Team boffins) extracted footage of Morecambe and Wise from a film canister full of goo. Plus news of a Bill Potts action dolly, Britbox coming to Canada, and an interview from Chicago TARDIS with three Doctors, the trio of physicians in question being Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy! Let's hope all of you have a happy New Year with no complications!

And so the Peter Capaldi era ends, the Jodie Whittaker era begins, and the David Bradley era sneaks in through the side door for "Twice Upon A Time", the 2017 Doctor Who Christmas Special. But what did the Three Who Rule think? Join them as they examine the final story of the Steven Moffat era, and the precious few seconds we have until Autumn 2018 of an entirely new Doctor! And, by popular (two people, let's be honest) request, we also have a spoiler-filled discussion of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, squared away near the end for those of you who enjoy that sort of thing.

Doctor Who musical legend Dudley Simpson passed away recently, and his amount of work in Doctor Who was so massive that it warranted a special Miniscope to cover it!
