This Hugo is the fourth win for Doctor Who since its revamp in 2005 and the first for any writer other than Steven Moffat. The Waters of Mars was, at least for the Radio Free Skaro gang, the high point of the 2009 Gap Year and we couldn’t be happier it was recognized for its brilliance.

Well, Eurogamer dragged their heels on releasing the article and it was never published. However, over at Warren’s long running blog, www.freyburg.com, the full article is now available. In it, Phil Ford (who has appeared on Radio Free Skaro three times in the past) discusses how the project came about and where it can go in the future.

Reaction on the internet made it seem like everyone either loved or hated the episode, but the Three Who Rule were…well, you’ll just have to listen to the episode to find out. However, Vincent and the Doctor was but one episode released this week thanks to City of the Daleks hitting computer screens… Show Notes:
