| Radio Free Skaro #975 - Achievement in a Thankless Role | 25 Aug 2024 | 01:11:30 | |
Warren has returned from his European travails, and just in time as casting for The War Between the Land and the Sea (henceforth known as TWBTLATS) is announced to much fanfare, A Disney poobah nods approvingly at Doctor Who as an idea, Catherine Tate herself hosts the BBC Proms, and Blake's 7 news takes the internet (well, us) by storm with an amazing box set on the way for the UK (and North America?). All this as a preamble for some of the greatest acting in British televisual history as we commentate on Part Three of Planet of the Spiders! Links:

Hear of Tales of the TARDIS, Sarah Jane Adventures, and other audio delights as news of a new Jodie Whittaker Blu-ray set is announced, overseas filming for The War Between the Land and the Sea is confirmed, and is a renewal for a third season of Doctor Who or perhaps another new spinoff in the works?

| Radio Free Skaro #965 - Abase Yourself, You Groveling Insect | 16 Jun 2024 | 01:30:05 | |
It's the penultimate episode of Doctor Who Season 1 and the mysteries are piling up in UNIT HQ! Who or what is Susan Twist? What about the cloaked lady who may or may not be Ruby's mum? Why in the name of all the gods in the pantheon is Sutekh causing trouble and blinged out in Disney finery? The Three Who Rule don't have the answers but they do have baseless speculation and a bunch of irrelevant Classic Who references to tide us over until next week! Plus some book and comic and Big Finish stuff but let's be real…..SUTEKH'S BACK! Links:

What is Doom's Day and does it have anything to do with Urbankans? Nothing presumably, as it is a new audio adventure teased mysteriously as of this recoding, but Steven and Warren shall pick apart what few clues they have as Chris is on Special Assignment and absent from most of the proceedings this week. We also have news of Henry-Tennant regeneration hijinks on Red Nose Day, a simply wonderful trailer for the new Series 9 collection, the ever-present Timelash, and Part One of our Miniscope on Doctor Who director Lennie Mayne!

| Radio Free Skaro #964 - Fowl and Fallibility | 09 Jun 2024 | 01:31:18 | |
It's Regency drama, gossip, and scandalous dances on this week's Doctor Who adventure, "Rogue!" The Bridgerton fans are losing their minds at this episode, including one Ruby Sunday, but what did the Three Who Rule think of this theatrical and romantic undertaking? Plus we pay tribute to William Russell, Doctor Who's original Man of Action and Knight of Jaffa, and we encourage you to listen to our own interview with Mr. Russell from 2012. Plus Big Finish celebrates 25 years, Tales of the TARDIS mystery, and this very podcast gets called out for both its numerous crimes and its place as one of the best Doctor Who podcasts! Will wonders never cease? Links:

| Radio Free Skaro #884 - Holiday Special Deathmatch | 27 Dec 2022 | 02:09:55 | |
Happy Holidays all and especially a Happy Boxing Day to those in Canada and the UK. And quite a sock to the jaw it was to see a Doctor Who 60th anniversary trailer on Xmas Day! Still nothing new with Ncuti Gatwa's incarnation of the Doctor but we do have more of Tennant's Who the 14th, Donna Noble, and most importantly, Beep The Meep! If that wasn't enough, we're joined by Kat Griffiths of Verity! and Erika Ensign of Verity!, Lazy Doctor Who, Total Party Kill and more for the first and only Doctor Who Holiday Death Match where we decide once and for all the all-time champion Xmas/New Year special!

| Radio Free Skaro #963 - White Mirror | 02 Jun 2024 | 01:13:04 | |
Doctor Who shows its range again with "Dot and Bubble," an adventure that goes from the superficiality of social media all the way to some very real-world issues in what's ostensibly a Doctor-lite episode but is in fact very heavy. Does it seem like we're dancing around the content of the story? Well, we are! Tune in and listen to our takes, then find out about a new visual guide chronicling the adventures of Character Options dollies, a sneak peek at the first 15th Doctor comic, the further exploits of the Terry Nation Army, more Big Finish excitement including Christopher Eccelston's final audio adventure (for now), and more!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Cosplayer Christmas as Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson aka The Doctor and Ruby Sunday's respective costumes have been revealed! Listen to two fashion illiterates and one Certified Dandy speculate on what it all means and mostly just deciding they look neat. Also we mourn the loss of Chris Boucher, cogitate upon the mysterious winnowing down of Who content on many services worldwide as the Disney Plus transition looms, and the ever-popular Timelash!

A very divisive episode of one Radio Free Skaro as the Three Who Rules review "73 Yards," a parable of Welsh magic, loopy time conundrums and craven Prime Ministers (well, one at least). What did they think of this Millie Gibson acting tour-de-force and what in the dickens is the mysterious lady saying? Listen and find out! Plus DWM 604, virtual production, a rabbit hole discussion of 4K Blu-Rays and much, much more! Also, why not metric? Links:

It's another exciting week for fans of one Doctor Who as shooting begins on the Ncuti Gatwa era and the RTD hint-o-rama initiative fills the pages of Doctor Who Magazine. The BBC is planning to go online only over the next decade, saddening owners of CRT televisions all over the United Kingdom, and we have the usual tat and Big Finish news along with a Timelash celebrating(?) Warren's upcoming birthday. All this and the concluding Classic Series Commentary for "Earthshock"! Links:

With Warren in the Eastern Zone of Time, the Three Who Rule spend a late Friday night jabbering about Doctor Who like the cool guys they are (not). This consists of not only the rather light assortment of news for the week but also marvelling over the many and various streaming services giving us random Classic Who 24/7. Living the dream! And indeed you will be too as we also bring you 80s Cybermen waving their fists angrily in Part Three of our Classic Series Commentary for "Earthshock"! Links:

| Radio Free Skaro #961 - Kiss Kiss Boom Boom | 19 May 2024 | 01:10:27 | |
Steven Moffat returns to the world of Doctor Who with Boom, a tension-filled episode with land mines, Anglican Marines, many a trope from his previous era, and more! The Three Who Rule are well-known Moffat-ites to be sure, but did this measure up to their thoughts and prayers? Plus the media blitz continues with Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Time Magazine (of all things) and a halfhearted stab at the increasingly irrelevant…stats! Ahhh-aahhhhh! Links:
