The Time of the Flux is over but mere weeks remain before the New Year's Day special "Eve of the Daleks" so the Three Who Rule do a deep dive into stats, The Timelash, another visit from Emily Cook from Doctor Who Magazine, a big Gallifrey One guest announcement Big Finish, news of extending their Who license to 2030, and more!

It's the conclusion of Doctor Who: Flux and the Three Who Rule stayed up late (but not as late as the brave and valiant livestream viewers!) to hash out what they liked, what they didn't, and what baffled and confused them as Series 13 reached the end of its six-part saga with "The Vanquishers". But there's more to come as "Eve of the Daleks" is headed our way on New Year's Day and..well, that's it until Easter! Between the very new Flux discussion and the near endless pondering during the Timelash about 625-line video and the animated fate of "The Feast of Steven", we managed to eke out almost two hours of quality banter, so we hope you like it!

It's time for the Three Who Rule to analyze Doctor Who: Flux – Chapter Five: "Survivors of the Flux", a veritable casserole of content featuring a multitude of planets, times, Time, Swarm, Azure, more cranky tunnel building, and globe-spanning pottery quests. Did it measure up to last week's Weeping Angel nail-biter? And what treats yet lay in store for us when Flux concludes next week? More to the point, we have statistical ploddings and historical wanderings to amuse you with along with news, views and other things you can peruse!

The Angels have the podcast! Or at least the attention of the Three Who Rule, who did not blink or look away from "Village of the Angels" and for your own safety you should keep your ears peeled to their deep and cogent thoughts along with Warren's pointless digressions and surface-level analysis of Star Trek.

In merely a week we'll have new Doctor Who to discuss as Doctor Who: Flux – Chapter One: The Halloween Apocalypse arrives to please our eyeballs, but in the meantime listen to the Three Who Rule talk about Class, binge vs once a week episode drops, the general incompetence of a certain Canadian sci-fi channel, buffoonish press pack drops and a truly epic length Timelash where they invent the exciting and entirely fictional new television mystery series Mumford & Fay starring Suranne Jones and Judi Dench!

After pining, complaining, and begging for the Doctor Who Series 13 trailer, it has finally arrived and the Three Who Rule will pass judgment on it along with an epic-length episode featuring a visit from Emily Cook from Doctor Who Magazine and an interview with Gavin Collinson and Richard Wilkinson from Maze Theory about the new Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality video game. Plus Big Finish as always, Sony buying Bad Wolf, Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill shooting their final bits for the show, and a code giveaway for the aforementioned The Edge of Reality!

Our long international nightmare is over, sort of, as we finally have an airdate for the premiere of Doctor Who: Flux of Halloween night (in the UK) though a new trailer remains elusive. What is omnipresent is our (mostly Steven's) utter rage at the BBC's marketing "efforts" for the new series as all social media was deleted and then reinstated for…reasons? Besides invective and suspicion we also have musings on the past via the Timelash, Season 17 gets The Collection Blu-ray treatment, and the second and concluding part of our Classic Series Commentary for "The Edge of Destruction"!

It's been a week since the surprise announcement that Russell T Davies is returning to our favourite televisual drama, and yet there is nothing in the way of Series 13 teasing to satiate our base desires for more Who. Nothing, that is, except the Three Who Rule discussing a whole slew of action dollies, nostalgic remembrances via The Timelash, slagging off Canadian TV as is tradition, and a riveting commentary on Part the First of 1964's bottle episode(s) psychodrama "The Edge of Destruction"!

This was supposed to be a slow news week but a phoenix in the form of one Russell T Davies smashed such expectations with news he is returning to re-helm Doctor Who's 60th anniversary and beyond in a new Golden Age of Telestreaming Audiovisuals. What does it all mean? Join the Three Who Rule as they madly cogitate over the implications of the announcement and muddle through their own complicated feelings on this most weighty of developments. Plus the usual Timelashing, Big Finish updates, video game-ry, and more! But mostly, let's be honest, all-consuming RTD banter. Links: Support Radio Free Skaro on Patreon!

In the wake of Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall's mutual decision to leave the good ship Doctor Who we have precisely the sort of pointless speculation, cogitation and puffery you'd expect from three fans with nothing but wisps of info to grasp to, along with some serious digression into the current nature of television, why CBS is still a tedious money machine, action dolly and Big Finish news, and more!

It's a monumental week of news as Thirteenth Doctor Jodie Whittaker and current showrunner Chris Chibnall announced they will be leaving the show in 2022 after the next (truncated) series and a triplet of specials.

In about a week we'll either learn absolutely nothing or possibly slightly more than that as Doctor Who holds a panel at SDCC@Home featuring Jodie Whittaker, Chris Chibnall, Mandip Gill, new companion John Bishop and a "special guest" (possibly the ghost of Richard Hurndall?) and RFS will be there, at home, in a slightly delayed fashion to cover it. But here in the present there's audiobooks, a new version of the Doctor Who Role Playing Game, and more catching our attention, along with the final part of our Barry Letts directorial Miniscope, covering "Carnival of Monsters", "Planet of the Spiders", and "The Android Invasion"!
