An underrated gem, in our opinion, 1979′s Nightmare of Eden was one of the more tumultuous productions in Doctor Who’s long history, an aspect of which will no doubt be covered in the extensive extras that were cleared by the BBFC just last week.

Two Sylvester McCoy stories that will form The Ace Box in the UK will be released separately here. The 1987 story Dragonfire, featuring Sophie Aldred’s debut as Ace, and The Happiness Patrol from 1988, featuring one of the more memorable Who villains, The Kandyman, will also hit the shelves.

For more details, including a complete listing of the special features, check out the post at TV Shows On DVD.

Each of these single-disc releases will likely have a MSRP of $24.98, but pricing details, artwork, and full details of the DVD extras will be announced at a later date. ]]> http://www.radiofreeskaro.com/2012/02/01/may-2012-north-america-doctor-who-dvd-releases/feed/ 1 http://www.radiofreeskaro.com/2011/12/18/radio-free-skaro-285-the-menagerie/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=radio-free-skaro-285-the-menagerie http://www.radiofreeskaro.com/2011/12/18/radio-free-skaro-285-the-menagerie/#comments Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:37:02 +0000 Chris http://www.radiofreeskaro.com/?p=8837   [ Read More ]]]>

With just a week to go until the 2011 Doctor Who Christmas Special, the Three Who Rule cast their eyes back to a simpler time, before River Song was related to the Ponds and when a baby could turn into a puddle of goo and still be broadcast pre-watershed. Yes, “A Good Man Goes to War” was our commentary this week, with all the usual off-topic and off-color discussion you’ve come to know and somewhat tolerate. Add chatter of our live show at Gallifrey 2012 (two months from now!), news of departing companions, Season 7′s structure, and Fendahl action figures, and you’ve got yourself a podcast!

The UNIT Box will be a 2-story release featuring the Jon Pertwee story Invasion of the Dinosaurs and the final Tom Baker-era UNIT story The Android Invasion. Details regarding contents or price, and the release date itself, are as yet unknown, though this source states an early 2012 release is most likely; the Colony in Space DVD, on which the Coming Soon trailer appears, is set for a UK release on October 3 and US/Canada release on November 8.

The BBFC classification for the UNIT Box trailer came through in late July, though recently Colony in Space screener copies have made their way to review outlets making the information more widespread. ]]> http://www.radiofreeskaro.com/2011/08/31/doctor-who-unit-box-dvds/feed/ 1 http://www.radiofreeskaro.com/2011/08/28/radio-free-skaro-269-who-do-you-think-you-are-kidding-mr-hitler/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=radio-free-skaro-269-who-do-you-think-you-are-kidding-mr-hitler http://www.radiofreeskaro.com/2011/08/28/radio-free-skaro-269-who-do-you-think-you-are-kidding-mr-hitler/#comments Sun, 28 Aug 2011 20:28:37 +0000 Steven http://www.radiofreeskaro.com/?p=7865   [ Read More ]]]>

Doctor Who is back! After what seemed equally both a long summer and a short summer, Doctor Who has returned to our screens with Let’s Kill Hitler — and of course the Three Who Rule were all over the episode to deliver their review. But wait, there’s more! Torchwood is still making its way toward the end of Miracle Day, so of course the lads throw in their two cents about End of the Road. What do they think about these new offerings from the Whoniverse? Lastly, along with the usual news and stats, we also speak with Doctor Who Brand Manager Edward Russell about his upcoming Walk for Lis!

Torchwood continues its Miracle Day run with episode 6 and the lads sink their teeth into… well, there’s not much to sink their teeth into this week, is there? Nevertheless, rampant mastication of the worthy bits kills some time as we wait for more Doctor Who and for Torchwood to do something… anything. Also, lamentably, the Summer Classic Commentary Series comes to the end as the Three Who Rule tackle The Invasion’s latter episodes with their usual flare and panache and with the able assistance of their seagull frenemies.

It was a week of wildly mixed emotions in the world of Doctor Who. Anticipation for the (staggeringly good) Series 6 premiere, The Impossible Astronaut, was stopped dead in its tracks by the tragic passing of Elisabeth Sladen – Sarah Jane Smith herself and companion extraordinaire to us all. The Three Who Rule heap praise on both The Impossible Astronaut and Sladen during this episode; hopefully we do justice in celebrating their many respective merits.

For the first time in what seems like a very long while, the Three Who Rule tackle a Miniscope segment all on their own without the aid of a special (and probably much better informed) guest. The subject? Musician Tristram Cary, whose moody melodies and bouncy ballads helped underscore many a 1960s Doctor Who serial. Even the most taciturn of individuals could find something to say about Cary’s iconic work. And if that wasn’t enough to fill an episode, there’s a bundle of press launch news from both sides of the Atlantic to help form another jam packed, spoiler-free episode of Radio Free Skaro.

After an almost three month wait, there was some new Doctor Who content to discuss in the form of two short scenes written for the BBC’s Red Nose Day coverage. As well, news hit the wire we’ll be getting a little extra Who in the form of prequel mini-episodes for a few Series 6 stories. Such an occasion always attracts guests, and so Luke from TMDWP drops in to share his two cents, while also ably aiding the Three Who Rule in slicing, dicing and dissecting the Doctor Who career of director Richard Martin. Martin directed several early Hartnell stories, but whether he directed them well or not was the main point of the discussion…
