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

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.

On the latest SPACE Podcast, the Three Who Rule have a natter about the pros and cons of the Russell T Davies era of our beloved show, condensing much of what was discussed on recent Radio Free Skaro episodes with Neil Perryman into a bite-sized chunk. Have a listen!
The notion of Neil Gaiman writing for Doctor Who apparently isn’t dead yet. The acclaimed writer appeared at the UCLA on February 4 for a speaking engagement. During his appearance, Gaiman answered several questions from the audience, one of which was about writing for Doctor Who. Jace Lacob, writer/editor of the award-winning television website Televisionary, was in attendance, and posted this comment on Twitter after the performance:
When asked if he will ever write a Doctor Who script, Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) nodded emphatically. Hmmm…
Gaiman had previously been rumoured to be writing a script for Matt Smith’s first series as The Doctor until he himself denied it on his own Twitter feed. While Gaiman hasn’t confirmed anything yet beyond his UCLA appearance, a Doctor Who script still appears to be a distinct possibility.
Gaiman could possibly join Skins writer Jack Thorne as a writer for the next series, as Thorne confirmed on his Twitter feed in July that he was also working on a script for Doctor Who.
UPDATE #1: Jace at Televisionary has now posted on his own blog about this. Here’s the link.
UPDATE #2: Neil Gaiman himself has confirmed the news at SFX. Here’s the link.
The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine, #418, has revealed the titles for the first three Series Fnarg episodes! While spoiler hunters will have known the name of Matt Smith’s debut episode, the other two were well-kept secrets. Beginning Matt Smith’s premiere series will be The Eleventh Hour, penned by Steven Moffat and a wonderful double entendre, followed by The Beast Below also by Moffat, while episode 3 will see the return of the Daleks in Mark Gatiss’ Victory of the Daleks. Series Fnarg will begin transmission in Spring 2010.
