Radio Free Skaro #367 – Everybody Hurts
Well, the most recent series of Doctor Who has wrapped up, and what a way to do it - a fangasmagoria from Steven Moffat containing notable nods to the past and tantalizing hints of what's to come. "The Name of the Doctor" gave fans what they wanted (and more) in ...
Radio Free Skaro #366 – The Emperor’s New Clothes
Neil Gaiman's sophomore effort is one of the most divisive in the history of new Doctor Who, with some fans adoring his take on the Cybermen and others viewing precocious children and speedy metal men with disdain. But what did the Three Who Rule think? What are Chris's views on ...
Radio Free Skaro #365 – Fondant Surprise
Northern England in the Victorian era, monsters, lizards, Sontarans, lame GPS jokes and latched-on kidlet drama all made "The Crimson Horror" a roller coaster ride of emotion for the Three Who Rule. But was it a ride full of thrills and chills or merely a routine trundle through well-worn paths ...
Radio Free Skaro #364 – Smoke on the Horizon
For decades, fans of Doctor Who have been wondering and dreaming of what amazing thrills and sights exist within The Doctor's TARDIS. The 50th Anniversary of the programme seems to be an appropriate time to finally peel back the curtain on The Doctor's magical time-space machine, and Stephen Thompson's script, ...
Radio Free Skaro #363 – Ghost Lite
Awoooooo! Scary stuff! That's what this week's instalment of Doctor Who was, as "Hide", a tautly written and directed thriller, enthralled many a fan and viewer. But what did the Three Who Rule think? They were widely split with their opinions of writer Neil Cross's first effort, "The Rings of ...
Radio Free Skaro #362 – Ice Hot
After a wait of almost 40 years, the Ice Warriors have returned to Doctor Who, with at least (and let's be honest, at most) one heavily armoured, lumbering green menace back to make the lives of an 80's crew of Soviet submariners a soggy, terrifying hell. Mark Gatiss, a Who ...
Radio Free Skaro #361 – The Borings of Akhaten
After a rollicking opening to Series 7B last week, we were treated to a new episode in "The Rings of Akhaten" that received almost no love from any of the Three Who Rule. In fact, only one person had something nice to say about it, and you'll never guess who! ...
Radio Free Skaro #360 – Quadracyclephenia
New Doctor Who! And given such an auspicious occasion, it was no surprise that the Three Who Rule yammered on at length about "The Bells of Saint John," and then further prognosticated on the news that David Tennant and Billie Piper will in fact return for the 50th anniversary special. ...
Radio Free Skaro #359 – Whether You Like It Or Not
The upcoming book "JN-T: The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner" is quite possibly the most controversial account of the behind-the-scenes world of Doctor Who ever published, delving into the, at times, seedy side of the life of the long time producer of Doctor Who. It also covers, with ...
Radio Free Skaro #358 – A Breath of Fresh Air Lock
A wide variety of news leads off the latest episode of Radio Free Skaro, as the Three Who Rule pontificate about the fate of Caroline Skinner, the discovery of early Doctor Who scripts and even a little about the upcoming Series 7B... but wait, there's more! This week saw the ...
On the latest SPACE Podcast, the Three Who Rule, after taking a week off to let The End of Time sink in a bit more, offer their revised thoughts of David Tennant’s finale. Will much have changed in their way of thinking? Will Steven like it less? Will Warren dislike it more? Will Chris acknowledge that it actually existed? Have a listen and find out!
On the latest SPACE Podcast, released in time for the Doctor Who marathon on SPACE on January 2, the Three Who Rule discuss the impact that David Tennant has left on the Doctor Who universe, both on screen and off. Also featured is an interview that SPACE podcast host Mark Askwith conducted with Russell T Davies! Have a listen for yourself!
 So it’s come to this. More than a year after David Tennant announced he was leaving the role of the Doctor, through endless speculation, theorizing and fanwank, we’ve finally reached the Tenth Doctor’s penultimate adventure, and….the results are not good. In fact, they’re disastrous. The Three Who Rule were moved to anger, bile, and sadness at Russell T. Davies’ constant and unnecessary need to outdo himself, at The Master’s penchant for leaping and lightning, exacerbated by the fact that all three of your august hosts were in the same room at the same time. In fact, there may have been a monkey knife fight, you’ll just have to listen to find out. Allons-sigh. |

On the latest SPACE Podcast, the Three Who Rule again contribute a segment, this time devoted to a spoiler-free review of The Waters of Mars (because, yes, there are people out there who haven’t seen it), which is airing on SPACE on Saturday, December 19. Host Mark Askwith and guest Ajay Fry also talk at great length about the day long Doctor Who marathon on January 2, culminating with the Canadian broadcast premiere of The End of Time. Have a listen for yourself!
 With the Three Who Rule reunited once more, and with the analytic powers of the Third Guy squarely aimed at schedules, Appreciation Indexes and other such numeric minutiae, a slow news week was transformed into quasi-random babble and buildup to the exciting segment you’ve all been waiting for….Douglas Camfield in the Miniscope. Praise for Camfield’s prodigious output was universal if varying in intensity, but all three hosts agreed the man was a force for good (for the show) and bad (for Dudley Simpson’s career.) |
