• 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 #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 ...

Radio Free Skaro #241 – Click here to listen

With the 2011 edition of Gallifrey One over half over, the Three Who Rule were still hard at work bringing you interviews with tremendously interesting people at the convention. Torchwood: Miracle Day is keenly discussed with writers Jane Espenson and Doris Egan, and the music of Doctor Who, specifically Murray Gold, was discussed with music scholars Emily Kausalik and Michaela Schubert. Also joining us for the fun are our good friends Eric from Mostly Harmless Cutaway and Sean from Tardis Tavern. Enjoy, everyone! Only one more day to go…

According to the Chicago Tribune, Russell T Davies has cobbled together his writing team for Series 4 of Torchwood, now called “Torchwood: The New World”, to be coproduced in the UK and the US. The writers responsible for the 10-part series are, including Davies himself:

- John Shiban (“Breaking Bad,” “Supernatural,” “The X-Files”)
- Doris Egan (“House,” “Tru Calling,” “Dark Angel’)
- Jane Espenson (“Game of Thrones,” “Battlestar Galactica,” “Buffy”)
- John Fay (the only other UK writer on the team who, of course, wrote two episodes of “Torchwood: Children of Earth”)

Davis has said that the new series of Torchwood will be written in more of a “writer’s room” style, where all the writers collectively write the episodes, as opposed to each writer penning an episode or episodes on his/her own. Filming on the new Starz-BBC Torchwood series will begin in January, and will feature material shot in the US and the UK.
