Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

It's a week before new Doctor Who, which means a veritable tsunami of news, previews and madness, including the surprise reveal that John Simm will come back as the Master and possibly cause a shipping paradox the likes of which hasn't been seen since SuperWhoLock! In other surprises, Britbox announced they're streaming most of Classic Who, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio" was nominated for a Hugo,...

We're in the final stretch run of The Year (and a bit) of No Doctor Who, as Series 10 is less than two weeks away! There's spoiler-free talk of synopses, the character of Bill Potts is revealed to be gay (hooray!), and there are various promotional things happening in and around the premiere of "The Pilot" on April 15. And we take our last look inside the Miniscope for this year with a detailed an...

With new Who slowly ambling towards our eyeballs, the news pace has picked up somewhat, with publicity stills, tantalizing details concerning Ice Warriors, and the release of the 1999 charity special "The Curse of Fatal Death" on Youtube (otherwise known as 'streaming VHS')! But this is a mere tease, the frothiest of fripperies, the lightest of garnishes (and so forth, please get on with it) to th...

It's time for a visit to The Dead Planet to see some Mutants in "The Daleks" with the Three Who Rule and Doctor Who: The Writers Room podcaster, Nerdist scribe and gentleman bounder Kyle Anderson as a special guest! Thrill to Steven's knowledge of televisual minutiae, twirl to Kyle's searing insights, sashay to Chris's detailed analysis and recoil at the sight of Warren's brain melting at the (in...

No sooner did we joke about Mondasian Cybermen in Series 10 than they magically appear in a publicity shot with one Peter Capaldi! While we'd like to claim prophetic wisdom in this matter, we had no inside knowledge and this was likely a "going out in style" wish from one Mr. Capaldi, and we are all the better for it. P-Cap will also be gracing the small, inconsequential town of Calgary, AB for Ca...

As the weeks tick slowly down to new Doctor Who, we have a short teaser to discuss, with sparks and Capaldi hair and Nardole and Bill! Gallifrey One 2018 tickets go on sale soon, so get your purchasing fingers limbered! The Series 10 premiere will hit theatres in April, and we salute John Hurt's last turn as the War Doctor in the Big Finish production "Casualties of War"! Finally, we have two inte...

Post-Gally blues…or post-Gally buzz? The Three Who Rule were in high spirits this week, energized by a most wonderful gathering of the tribe in Los Angeles. This episode presents two interviews from Gallifrey One, first with TV consultant for the BFI, Dick Fiddy, and second with Red Dwarf and Doctor Who costume designer Howard Burden! Tally ho! Links: –  Class final BBC One viewing figures –  Seri...

In our second of two episodes this weekend from Gallifrey One, the Three Who Rule run down all the fascinating sights and sounds they've seen this weekend at Gallifrey One, give the inside scoop on what happened to a couple of missing guests from their live show on Friday, and speculate some more about Peter Capaldi's departure and Chris Chibnall's arrival! Also, an interview with musician Dominic...

Hooray for Gallifrey! The Three Who Rule are back for their ninth(!) trip to Gallifrey One, the real happiest place on Earth, and for the sixth(!!) year running, it has been their honour to help launch the convention in style with their very own live show. This year, Paul McGann, Philip Hinchcliffe, Roger Murray-Leach, Rachael Stott, and Nick Abadzis were the guests, and a grand time was had by al...

Our favorite weekend of the year is here in less than a week, the Whovian celebration known as Gallifrey One! We'll be there doing our live show at 10:30 a.m. Friday in the main hall with our live show, "Radio Free Skaro: Victorian Gothic Folly," but in the meantime get comfortable as we break down what we're looking forward to seeing and doing at the LAX Marriott, and stay tuned next week for sho...

Capaldexit! Yes, the Three Who Rule were sideswiped (as was everyone else) by Peter Capaldi's surprise announcement that he was leaving the role of The Doctor, and after admonishing the UK press for baseless speculation, the RFS crew engaged in frankly hypocritical predictions of their own. That plus stats, Series Ten news and a 70 minute(!) Miniscope about writer/director Terence Dudley round out...

It is with a heavy heart that we mark the passing of acting legend John Hurt, beloved by Whovians for his portrayal of the War Doctor in "The Day of the Doctor" but with a career spanning the best of film, TV, and the stage. In happier news, we can now announce the guests for our Gallifrey One live show (contained within) and some other notable Gally news, updates and miscellany! We also announce...

Dollies, Nardole and a reliably batty, 83 years young Tom Baker are the mere froth on the fancy latte of Whographica, an exquisite collection of infographics featuring incredibly nerdy deep dives into the corners and recesses of Doctor Who trivia. We interviewed authors Simon Guerrier, Steve O'Brien and Ben Morris, to find out what went into this expansive and frankly obsessive labour of love. Adj...

For seemingly every single Doctor Who convention that one or all of the Three Who Rule have ever attended, Wendy Padbury has been there. Standing next to them in lines, walking past them in the hallway, but never, ever a guest on Radio Free Skaro. Until today! Ms. Padbury joins a panel of fine thespians (and Doctor Who companions) Anneke Wills, Deborah Watling, Louise Jameson, and Lisa Greenwood (...

And so we enter another fallow period as the Christmas special recedes into the dark recesses of 2016 but new Who has yet to arrive. What to do? How about diving deep into the history of Doctor Who with an interview with behind-the-scenes specialist and Twitter phenomenon @WhoSFX? Yes, you will listen to said interview! You will, or suffer the consequences! Links: –  Happy birthday William Hartnel...

Goodbye 2016, and hello new year! And what better way to ring in a new wander around the sun than stats? Well, practically anything, but that's all we've got! All, that is, except for an interview with Big Finish impresario and voice of the Daleks Nick Briggs, recently conducted at LI Who by Warren! Enjoy, or you will be exterminated! Links: –  Gallifrey One guest update! –  The Return of Doctor M...

Superheroics! Derring-do! Balderdash, mumblesuch and in the middle of it all stands one man, Doctor Mysterio! Yes, after a year of waiting for new Who, the Three Who Rule ruminate over this year's Xmas special, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio" featuring P.Cap, N.ardole and comic book shenanigans in NYC! And as if that wsn't enough, there is extensive post-game bleating about Rogue One: A Star Wars...

It is the week before the Advent of Doctor Mysteriousness, and so the news is a little light as fandom sits in the eye of the hurricane. But there is word of both Toby Whithouse musing on Twitter about his upcoming Series 10 episode, and Leela joining the War Doctor in his audio adventures in the new year! And speaking of Leela, both Louise Jameson and John Leeson are featured this week as Steven...
