Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

As befits these dog days of Doctor Who, we start this episode delving into both Edmonton infrastructure projects and the 60th anniversary of Star Trek, before summarily slapping ourselves upside the head and reporting on Warren's progress reading Circuit Breaker: Kaleidoscope (pretty good so far!) and the extraordinarily expensive yet mouth-wateringly lovely new Character Options set featuring Liz Shaw...

The War between the Galactic Republic (Canada) and the Trade Federation (America) continues and is finally affecting things that actually matter like Doctor Who as Catherine Tate and other guests have bowed out of Edmonton Expo due to overcomplicated plane shenanigans as available flights plummet between our two nations! In better news, Steven sings the praises of the BBC show Ludwig, which is like Doc...

Despite the continuing lull in Doctor Who content we've got a bumper crop of stuff to talk about this week, including a missing episodes saga of sorts from Steven with many twists, turns, and 3/4" U-Matic tapes! the ever-present Circuit Breaker (except in Canada, more on that within), Mark Gatiss predicting the Doctor Who tender "quietly won't happen," the official launch of the Pondcast featuring Kare...

It's a landmark episode of Radio Free Skaro as we mark 20 years of blabbing into microphones about the greatest television show ever made, that there Doctor Who, with a touch of reminiscing and reflection on our various accomplishments, hankerings and foibles, and many, many of your Fluid Links answered in an epic-length episode the likes of which we (probably) won't do for another 20 years! In the wor...

It's the end of an era but the moment has been prepared for as the trailblazing Verity! crew release their final episode capping more than a decade of smart talk about Doctor Who from six awesome ladies. Pay tribute to their work and the community they built, as we do in this episode! Plus Gallifrey One announces Mat Irvine and Waris Hussein as guests, more Circuit Breaker and Big Finish fun, various K...

We're breaking circuits once more as we cover both the new Audiobook Doctor Who: The Deadliest Weapon and preview a new Titan comic in the sprawling saga of Circuit Breaker starring Jo Martin as the Fugitive Doctor! Spoilers: we're enjoying Circuit Breaker! Plus books, Big Finish tomfoolery, more Dalek 63-88 goodies, and Part the Fourth of our Classic Series Commentary for the special edition of "Warri...

The TARDIS is in Glasgow this week as both the King and Queen of England opened the Commonwealth Games and Sylvester McCoy (in costume and adorned with a traffic cone) calls out all the Scottish Doctors by name, as is his right), and in February of next year both Carole Ann Ford and Anita Dobson will be in Los Angeles for Gallifrey One! Also, we discuss the future of Doctor Who alongside a new DWM arti...

Do you want to hear about MRAHHH BUSINESS regarding BBC Studios and the BBC's annual report for the better part of an hour? Well, you're going to, along with keen insights into the NHK man prowling Tokyo looking for license fee avoiders, James Bond musings, the continued myth of Christopher Nolan films having minimal CGI and more! Plus exciting Jo Martin sonic screwdriver news, more Big Finish analysis...

The UK is awash in televisual Mrrahhh Business this week as Sky is set to purchase ITV for $2.13 billion and what better "experts" to weigh in on the subject than three Canadians with a passing familiarity with the industry? Plus a surfeit of Troughton-era goodness in the form of a massive production diary of the era by author David Brunt and a Doctor Who: Legends special featuring Ol' Two himself. We ...

We're Breaking Circuits over here at Radio Free Skaro Towers, with a web-based UNIT story setting up the whole shebang and a new Titan Comics adventure (which we have read in preview form) soon to come! While TWBLATS has yet to grace North American bandwidth via Disney+, the BBC Writers Room site has provided scripts for you to peruse! Plus Steven Moffat continues his unofficial Doctor Who appreciation...

It's a bumper crop of news this week despite a complete lack of Doctor Who…except for Circuit Breaker, which begins by way of an online game where you join UNIT! Plus a fine interview with Steven Moffat on the Whoniverse Show, some fine Big Finish Zaprudering, and some truly insane talk about both a possible (but thankfully never followed up on) Doctor Who-Star Trek crossover and a deep investig...

If you thought a complete vacuum of Doctor Who news would stop the Three Who Rule from prognostication based on the vapours and some recent UK media podcast analysis about the BBC tendering process, boy howdy you would be wrong! Thrill to our educated guesses as to where we go from here in a fractured media landscape! Puzzle over the tender process! Draw no real conclusions! Plus part the third of our ...

It's (not) the end, but the moment has been prepared for! Well, not as such but a press release from the BBC confirms what we long suspected: there will not be a Christmas special nor were plans for one ever seriously pursued. Sad news to be sure, but we've cobbled together industry and wider fan reaction along with our own lengthy takes tinged with what we'd like to think is both optimism and realism....
