• Radio Free Skaro #292 – Amok Time

    At long last, Radio Free Skaro's time-filling series of Series 6 commentaries comes to an end with the Three Who Rule talking over "The Wedding of River Song". They manage to keep vaguely on topic, perhaps a tough task given their general ennui towards the Series 6 finale which contained ...
  • Radio Free Skaro #291 – That Which Survives

    A simple commentary about "Closing Time," which gave the Three Who Rule ample time to discuss the great chemistry between Matt Smith and guest star James Corden, instead devolved into a simply rancid discussion on babies and their propensity to poop on this episode of Radio Free Skaro. Our ...
  • Radio Free Skaro #290 – Whom Gods Destroy

    Ah, that's the January we remember. The Christmas Special aired weeks ago, it's a long time until new Doctor Who (even longer than usual) and there's really not too much going on in the Who world. But there's always Gallifrey! A bit of Gally news and banter helps, well, fill ...
  • Radio Free Skaro #289 – Errand Of Mercy

    Gallifrey One, the massive and amazing annual fan-run Doctor Who convention, is rapidly approaching and we take some time to talk to Program Director Shaun Lyon about the recently-released convention schedule and to formally announce details of our live show - Radio Free Skaro And The World Of Tomorrow! As ...
  • Radio Free Skaro #288 – Friday’s Child

    Despite January usually being a lean time for news of things Who, this week was chock full of factoids and quasi-related marginalia for the Three Who Rule to ponder and prognosticate upon. Of course all seriousness went out the window with a commentary on "Night Terrors," which such weighty matters ...

Last night the Doctor’s new look (at least in typeface form) was unveiled, and predictably enough Twitter exploded with praise, derision, ambivalence and a little bit of head scratching. The #doctorwho hashtag even became a Twitter trending topic. The logo is definitely different, with a bit of a retro feel, and the new producers of Who have taken the bold step of creating a stylized TARDIS out of the letters “D” and “W.” But enough of my rambling, just take a look at it yourself.

The BBC has at long last unveiled the new Doctor Who logo for Matt Smith’s foray into time and space travels. The Doctor Who blogs and the Twitterverse asploded.

So…………….. what do we all think of the new logo for Series 5/1/31?

A “DW” TARDIS shape. Lens flares. No title sequence to put it in perspective or context. BIG BLOCK LETTERS.

Is it too soon to say we’re underwhelmed? No? Right then.

Update: YouTube has a copy of the (previously) UK-only video clip that accompanied the logo launch:

Rumours, rumours and more rumours were grist for the RFS mill this week, as the Three Who Rule speculated on a new, possibly leaked list of Season 5/1/31 writers (and confirmed one or two writers (Chris Chibnall) and directors (Ashley Way, Andrew Gunn) along the way), watching Phil (friend of the show) Ford’s reactions to watching Dreamland (very meta) and DVD speculation run amok. All this and a Fiona Cumming Miniscope.

K-9 Trailer

On October-2-2009 2 Comments

While we here at Radio Free Skaro aren’t terribly excited about the K-9 spinoff, it’s never a bad thing to see more elements of the Who universe explored. With that, we’re happy to present a new trailer for the metal mutt’s own show. Quality isn’t fantastic but sometimes – just sometimes – it’s necessary to know that rapid transport of butts is imperative. Not to mention the return of John Leeson is something to he heralded.
