• 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

Of course all seriousness went out the window with a commentary on "Night Terrors," which such weighty matters ...

But we really have no idea what to expect from the new series, even factoring in spoiler reports and leaked pictures of new and returning monsters. Speculation is not only our only course of action, it’s also loads of fun, so let’s begin.

The most crucial element in any new series of Doctor Who is of course the Doctor himself. With Matt Smith, the audience has been handed a huge unknown, both in terms of his previous work and how he’ll portray the iconic character. All we really know is what we’ve seen in the final minute of “The End of Time Part Two,” and that’s barely anything to go on.
