    Radio Free Skaro dives into history with Gallifrey 2012 guests starting with Louise Jameson, otherwise known as the beautiful savage Leela, Louise was an absolute delight to talk to about her tenure on the program and her many other roles, ranging from Shakespeare to soaps and everything in between.

  • Radio Free Skaro #296 – Cleaning Up the Corn Field

    Day Two of Gally!

    Gallifrey Live Show!

  • Radio Free Skaro #293 – Occupy Gallifrey

    GALLY! It's the most wonderful time of the year once again, a glorious three-days-to-a-week where thousands of Doctor Who fans descend on the LAX Marriott in Los Angeles and bathe in glorious nerdery (and also sip a snifter of port on occasion.) Our annual tradition is to run through the ...
  • 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

Doctor Who Confidential Axed

On September-28-2011 0 Comments
In news that is bound to bother some while others cheer, it was announced earlier today that BBC Three has dropped Doctor Who Confidential from its programme lineup.

The news first broke via The Guardian and was later confirmed by Confidential Producer Zoe Rushton.

Cancellation of Confidential was due to BBC Three budget cuts and, apparently, in order to focus on a “priority … to build on original British commissions, unique to the channel” according to a BBC Three spokesperson quoted in The Guardian’s article.

Confidential had been paired with Doctor Who since the very beginning of the show’s relaunch in 2005 and provided behind-the-scenes footage and interviews to give viewers a deeper insight into what went into making the show we all love so much.

The final edition of Confidential to be aired will be this weekend’s When Time Froze, after The Wedding of River Song goes out on BBC One as announced by the BBC. Meanwhile, fandom has initiated a campaign to save Confidential, via twitter, at @SaveDWC.

Radio Free Skaro #273 – The Oncoming Stormageddon

Radio Free Skaro #273 – Click here to listen!

The penultimate episode of Series 6 featured the return of one of the great Doctor-companion teams that never happened. Matt Smith and James Corden, so perfectly matched in 2010′s “The Lodger”, reunited to amuse and delight in Gareth Roberts’s wonderful follow-up “Closing Time”, a story about which the Three Who Rule were unanimous in their opinion. The Cybermen also returned and were promptly dispensed with, but who cares about them, really? Also discussed in this podcast: the inevitable rapid-fire stats, new toys, favourite Doctors, rampant pluggery and more. Radio Free Skaro, here to help!

Eric Roberts, John de Lancie Coming To Gallifrey One

On September-14-2011 0 Comments
Gallifrey One has announced another guest update for the 2012 edition of the popular Doctor Who convention, headlined by Eric Roberts and John de Lancie!

Eric Roberts portrayed The Master in the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie, and joins previously announced guests Paul McGann, Daphne Ashbrook, Yee Jee Tso, and Philip Segal to form an impressive collection of the people responsible for the Fox revival effort. John de Lancie is well known for his iconic portrayal of Q in Star Trek: The Next Generation, but he was recently seen as the gruff (and frankly awesome) Agent Alan Shapiro in Torchwood: Miracle Day.

Click here to read the full guest announcement on the Gallifrey One website. Gallifrey One is North America’s largest Doctor Who convention and Network 23, running February 17-19, 2012, will be dedicated to the memory of Elisabeth Sladen and Nicholas Courtney.
