Download MP3 Big news! The moment has been prepared for by a cabal of BBC pencil pushers as the official Doctor Who Invitation To Tender was released to all and sundry! Steven and Warren pick apart the document with a fine tooth comb, highlighting requirements like "essential Britishness” before spring boarding into the usual speculation, and theorizing and equal parts cynicism and copium.

Download MP3 A light week of Doctor Who related banter as we soldier through continued Circuit Breaker fun, speculate wildly about the upcoming Blakes 7 Series 3 Collection that was officially announced this past week, the usual Big Finish cover art overexamination, and a travel back through the years via The Timelash! Forwards to the Past, or something! Links: Support Radio Free Skaro on Patreon…

Download MP3 The rumours and nonsense continue to bubble up from the internet swamps this week with claims of the Christmas Special shot in a minimal style, a fake news release to irritate us all, and actual footage of RTD saying there will be a BBC press release in a week or two. The Three Who Rule dig deep and are quite skeptical of all this torpor (other than RTD’s almost certainly correct claim) as well the usual Big Finish and Dalek 63-88 updates and Part the Second of our Classic Series Commentary for Spearhead from Space!

Download MP3 Jingle bells are probably silent this Christmas as, if RTD’s hinting in the UK media has led the Three Who Rule to conclude, after Mr. Davies stating he won’t be filming anything this year, so…whither Doctor Who Christmas Special? We get after it! We also look into the spectacular looking 4K release of the 1996 TV Movie, our thoughts on the Mandolorian and Grogu, the usual Big Finish Zaprudering, and an interview with Sophie Aldred, Paul Cornell and author Adrian Tchaikovsky and their involvement in the Salvation’s Child graphic novel!

Download MP3 The fallow times continue as the Three Who Rule murmur about the shifting media landscape that led to the Mando and Baby Yoda Movie not getting quite the cultural cachet of blockbusters of yesteryear and what, if anything, this portends for Doctor Who. (Still no War Between on Disney+, by the way)! Plus we discuss Ncuti Gatwa’s SNL monologue, remember the life of Michael Keating, pass on Film is Fabulous news, and crawl even further into the rose-tinted World of the Past with the first part of our Classic Series Commentary for Spearhead From Space!

Download MP3 If you're looking for a deep dive into the glorious 4K (in the UK at least) return of Doctor Who: The Movie (1996) you’ve come to the right place! We have an epic interview with film restoration expert Paul Vanezis all about the painstaking process of sprucing up the 35mm print of said TV movie to modern video standards.

Download MP3 The worlds of Doctor Who collide once more as the BBC launches into new Fugitive Doctor adventures via Circuit Breaker, a multi-platform saga in the tradition of Time Lord Victorious and Doom's Day,.The Three Who Rule are somewhat skeptical about the whole business, despite the welcome addition of a new and quite snazzy hat for Jo Martin’s Fugitive Doctor!

Download MP3 More exciting coverage of missing episodes….but this time not Doctor Who! Yes, a cutting copy of a 1968 episode of Morecambe & Wise has been discovered. But while a missing episode has been born anew, the past must fall as the Ianto shrine is finally disassembled with many a Ianto-ist in attendance along with Ianto himself, Gareth David Lloyd.

Download MP3 Are you tired of old men ranting about the current state of both Doctor Who and Star Trek? Well, brace yourself for more as Screen Rant of all places has a well-thought out piece about the future of both franchises and we may have cogitated more than is strictly necessary about the topic! Plus we look into a new set of action dollies from Character Options, Big Finish reveals, Tubi bringing back on-demand Doctor Who (in the US) and we’re Making It Political as we interview writer Lizbeth Myles about her new book, Where We Stand, Where We Fall - The Politics of Doctor Who!

Download MP3 In the wake of not only the glorious return of both missing episodes of The Daleks' Master Plan to the Doctor Who archive but also four brave astronauts (one of them Canadian!) to the Earth, we’re back to our usual cogitating about the BFI screening of the TV Movie on its 30th anniversary, Big Finish covers and a lovely trailer by the Brothers Kibble-White, the Radiophonic Workshop getting a well deserved award, AND the return in the form of Part the Third of our Classic Series Commentary on "The Mysterious Planet"!

Download MP3 The time has come and the two previously missing but now gloriously present episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan, namely The Nightmare Begins (Episode 1) and Devil’s Planet (Episode 3), are here to be viewed and reviewed! They appeared not only on the BBC iPlayer but also in full on the US (but not Canadian, feh) Classic Doctor Who Youtube channel, and we have viewed said episodes and have thoughts.

Download MP3 It’s been a week since missing episodes of The Daleks' Master Plan revealed themselves to the public to great excitement and joy and indeed a Film of Fabulous! screening of said episodes on April 4 sold out near-instantly upon its announcement. We also have news of an ex-Google chief possibly taking the helm at the BBC, The War Between still being MIA from Disney+, the usual Big Finish over-examining, and our feature interview with The Long Game and Pull to Open author Paul Hayes, here to discuss the production of 1956 CBC production Flight Into Danger, starring one James Doohan and produced by future (at the time) Doctor Who producer Sydney Newman!
