Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

Progress, in rumour form at any rate, as a tentative and maybe kinda sorta true list of directors for Series 11 makes its way onto the internet, along with scuttlebutt of a BBC, Channel 4 and ITV streaming service in the works. Not to leave Canada out fo the mix, "Genesis of the Daleks" tickets finally go on sale so those of us will finally be able to view 1970s PAL video on the big screen, as it was truly meant to be seen. And speaking of viewing things in a right and proper manner, we have the second half of our gripping and not at all ponderous commentary on "The Sensorites"! Grab your stimulant of choice and enjoy!

There's a new bunch on the block in the form of Doctor Who Magazine's new Time Team, so we talked to DWM writer Benjamin Cook about how he put together this new crop of young Who fans to helm the magazine's longstanding feature. Also, we bring you the first half of our commentary of the 1964 classic(?) "The Sensorites"! Plus: Big Finish news, Doctor Who cinema screenings in Canada, and the oncoming Gallifrey One hotel panic… Links: – Gallifrey One hotel block – Doctor Who Magazine 525 out – Canadian Genesis of the Daleks screening on June 14 – RTD & Moffat talk Target books with Tom Spilsbury – An Unearthly Child script sold for £6200 – River Song and four Masters in Big Finish – Hour of the Cybermen synopsis and artwork – Energy of the Daleks on vinyl – Devil's End Free Comic Book Day issue, cover A – Devil's End Free Comic Book Day issue, cover B Interview: – Benjamin Cook – Doctor Who Magazine Commentary: – The Sensorites, Episodes 1-3

The weather is warm, the flowers are blooming and the Doctor Who news is…sparse. Almost non-existent in fact, other than delicious morsels like the Series 9 soundtrack arriving in our eardrums, an official announcement on that US "Genesis of the Daleks" cinema screening on June 11, and of course what you've all been waiting for, the second part of our Christopher Barry miniscope, featuring his work on "The Mutants", "Robot", "The Brain of Morbius" and perennial favorite (to Chris, at any rate) "The Creature from the Pit"! Links: – 1988 UK response to Doctor Who season 24 – Series 9 soundtrack available, "The Shepherd's Boy" sample track – Genesis of the Daleks cinema screenings press release Miniscope: – Christopher Barry – The Mutants – Robot – The Brain of Morbius – The Creature from the Pit

One of the most prolific directors in Doctor Who history finally gets his time in the Miniscope as the Three Who Rule look at the first half of the career of Christopher Barry, breaking down his work on "The Daleks", "The Rescue", "The Romans", the missing stories "The Savages" and "The Power of the Daleks" (as best as possible), and concluding with 1971's "The Daemons". Also, while Warren is in New York, news on Gallifrey One, BBC Wales, and upcoming cinema screenings of "Genesis of the Daleks"… Links: – Gallifrey One 2019 – Sold Out! – BBC Wales new broadcast centre – Genesis of the Daleks cinema screening? – Black Archive – Marco Polo – Infinity wins Game Developer Conference award – BBC sound effects site Miniscope: – Christopher Barry – The Daleks – The Rescue – The Romans – The Savages – The Power of the Daleks – The Daemons

In what can only be described as the universe screwing with us, and because the world of Doctor Who seems to be in lockdown, we have precisely one and a half items of news today, the content of which we shall not divulge in order to create a questionable air of tension before the main event…Fluid Links! Yes, enjoy the Three Who Rule's shaky insights as we field questions from you, the listeners! Links: – Forbidden Planet Target book signing – Moffat, RTD and Michael Grade

Gallifrey One News! As in the fact that tickets for the 30th edition of the greatest convention on Earth go on sale on April 14th. Also, said convention was featured in the latest Doctor Who Magazine! Plus we have tales of Rachel Talalay declining to work on Series 11, BBC rumourmongering, comic, Target novel shenanigans via RTD and The Moff and a commentary for "The Happiness Patrol" brought you to thanks to the generosity of #WhoAgainstGuns!

Welcome to April! Which means we're now only about six months until Jodie Whittaker's debut as the new Doctor Who! Until then, we've got #Whoagainstguns final tallies, some sneaky hints from Philip Morris about "The Web of Fear" Part 3, Hugo nominations for Verity! and Doctor Who "Twice Upon a Time", and a deep dive into Malcolm Hulke's left wing leanings with "Doctor Who and the Communist" author Michael Herbert in part three of our Malcolm Hulke Miniscope!

A cranky Chris (Eccleston), a snippet of Steven (Moffat) and a serendipitous Series 11 opening sequence concept are all in the news this week, but let's be honest, you're here for the trenchant insights of one Kyle Anderson of Doctor Who: The Writer's Room podcast and Nerdist fame (and, we suppose, the Three Who Rule's meagre offerings) as we delve into the second of our three-part Malcolm Hulke Miniscope with a look at "Colony in Space", "The Sea Devils", "Frontier in Space", and "Invasion of the Dinosaurs"!

It's another pre-October week of hints and dribbles of Doctor Who news, including loose-lipped thespian Alan Cumming revealing he has a role in Series 11, audio and Target news, Tom Baker Blu-Ray excitement, and more. All mere preamble to the first part of our Malcolm Hulke Miniscope, featuring Nerdist scribbler and noted cineaste Kyle Anderson to help us look at "The Faceless Ones", "The War Games", "Doctor Who and the Silurians" and "The Ambassadors…of Death"!

#WhoAgainstGuns is a cause launched by our friends at Reality Bomb and spearheaded by a larger network of friends and podcasters, and the Three Who Rule are happy to lend their support, as you can hear in this podcast. Further to that, we present our final two interviews from Gallifrey One 2018 – one with Doctor Who scribe Peter Harness, and another with Philip Martin all about his iconic 1970s BBC series "Gangsters"!

As the Con Crud, post-Gally blues and general middle-aged malaise hit the RFS crew, they nevertheless soldier on with news of new Doctor Who logos, Lost Dimensions, new Target novelizations and more, before two sets of interviews from Gallifrey One, the first with Titan Comics brand manager Chris Thompson and the second with scholarly Whovians Joy Piedmont, who ran the academic symposium at last week's Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles, and Derek Kompare, a media professor who participated in said high-brained shenanigans!

The Three Who Rule return for another episode from Gallifrey One in Los Angeles, where they've been blown away by the top-notch insights and hilarity of the guests in attendance, from outgoing showrunner Steven Moffat's take no prisoners Q&As to Camille Coduri's hilarious response to "what's your favorite sonic screwdriver?" But there's still comic book news, effects updates and the debut of Britbox Canada to consider, along with an interview with series producer Brian Minchin! Allons and indeed…y! Links: – The 29 Voyages of Gallifrey One – Deleted scene from Series 8 hints at Gallifrey – Thirteenth Doctor Comic Announced – Seventh Doctor Comic Announced – BritBox Now in Canada – Multiple effects companies providing VFX for Series 11

For the seventh year in a row, it was Radio Free Skaro's great pleasure to kick off the greatest Doctor Who convention on Earth, Gallifrey One! With guests Sylvester McCoy, Rona Munro, Stephen Wyatt, Philip Martin, Hayley Nebauer, and Lawrence Gough, the convention got off to a roaring start. Come for the guests, stay for the microphone failures! And stay tuned Sunday for a Gallifrey One wrap-up episode! Links: – The 29 Voyages of Gallifrey One

Intrigue reigns as rumours swirl of a possible move to Sunday night for Series 11 of Doctor Who, along with more concrete news of a "The Enemy of the World" special edition DVD, with commentary moderated by none other than friend of the show Simon Harries! We've also got comic book news, some exclusive info about Series 11, and, as we're in a celebratory mood, why not indulge in our Gallifrey One preview show!

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!

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! Links: – Gallifrey One schedule – Gally ticket transfers close Wednesday – Jodie Whittaker earning the same as Capaldi – Complete History to extend to Twice Upon A Time Panel: – Heather Berberet – Kyle Anderson – 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!

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! Links: – Doctor Who filming in South Africa? – Sarah Dollard not writing for Series 11 – Twice Upon A Time final BBC One viewing figure – Gallifrey One welcomes Brian Minchin, Lindsey Alford, Paul Cornell, Caroline Symcox, Keith Barnfather, Bill Baggs and others – Chicago TARDIS 2018 tickets on sale – Blake's 7 turns 40 Interview: – Sophie Aldred – Lisa Greenwood – Chicago TARDIS

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!
