The Series 5 Commentary series rears its head once again as the Three Who Rule tackle fan favourite Amy’s Choice with much glee and delectation. More fan enjoyment came this past week in the form of Death of the Doctor, featuring Matt Smith’s return as the Doctor in the latest installment of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Fans awaiting the Christmas special got not one but two pieces of good news this week as it was announced that the BFI will be holding an advance screening for the episode while the rest of us have to suffer with a Children In Need clip next month. Join the fandom fun with the whole gang in this episode of Radio Free Skaro before it’s gone gone gone! |

| As promised by 2 Entertain’s Dan Hall in Radio Free Skaro #221, 2011 is indeed shaping up to be a very busy year for Doctor Who DVD fans in North America. Hot on the heels of two releases in January, February 8 sees another two DVDs coming out in the form of the 1996 TV Movie and the 1972 serial The Mutants. The TV Movie finally sees its first North American release of any kind on the eve of the 15th anniversary of its original broadcast, whereas The Mutants is the second release (after Meglos) that will be released in 2011 at around the same time as it is in the UK.

In this, the penultimate Radio Free Skaro Classic Series Commentary for the summer, the Three Who Rule lucked out with the second segment of the four-part trilogy known as The Trial of the Time Lord. Lucked out, you may well ask? Well, yes, for all three hosts were fairly unanimous in their praise of Mindwarp, and the Trial season as a whole, firm in their belief that Colin Baker’s tenure as The Doctor has been unfairly maligned over the years. Disagree? Listen to the commentary to see if you will be swayed…
