    As befits these dog days of Doctor Who, we start this episode delving into both Edmonton infrastructure projects and the 60th anniversary of Star Trek, before summarily slapping ourselves upside the head and reporting on Warren’s progress reading Circuit Breaker: Kaleidoscope (pretty good so far!) and the extraordinarily expensive yet mouth-wateringly lovely new Character Options set featuring Liz Shaw and a Primordial Professor Stahlman  Also books, the Timelash and an interview with the Cyberleader himself David Banks about his new book Man and Cyberman! Excellent!

    The War between the Galactic Republic (Canada) and the Trade Federation (America) continues and is finally affecting things that actually matter like Doctor Who as Catherine Tate and other guests have bowed out of Edmonton Expo due to overcomplicated plane shenanigans as available flights plummet between our two nations! In better news, Steven sings the praises of the BBC show Ludwig, which is like Doctor Who if Doctor Who was a crime procedural, and Gallifrey One continues with their second wave of guest announcements! Plus more exciting Circuit Breaker updates, New Paradigm Dalek dollies, more mutant heads aka Funko Pops, and another edition of The Timelash!

  9. Finally got round to reading the Destination Daleks comic from #DoctorWhoMagazine! As a fan of Time Crash and the subsequent older Five appearances, this was a nice bit of fun, and an essential addition to my collection. Story's nothing remarkable, but it's a comfy good time.

    I'm intrigued too that the DWM this came with included a download code for a free Fifth Doctor #BigFinish story! Will have to give that a listen soon. Dalek Soul from 2017, that was on my to-listen list already I think. Now I hope they'll make a series of Big Finishes following the older Five and Tegan, could be cool to have some stories with a modern flavour and New Who characters appearing, especially now.

  10. Radio Free Skaro #1070 – Do They Know It’s Christmas?

    Jingle bells are probably silent this Christmas as, if RTD’s hinting in the UK media has led the Three Who Rule to conclude, after Mr. Davies stating he won’t be filming anything this year, so…whither Doctor Who Christmas Special? We get after it! We also look into the spectacular looking 4K release of the 1996 TV Movie, our thoughts on the Mandolorian and Grogu, the usual Big Finish Zaprudering, and an interview with Sophie Aldred, Paul Cornell and author Adrian Tchaikovsky and their involvement in the Salvation’s Child graphic novel! Space Comics!

    Doctor Who is back! At least in the United States, by way of AMC+ which will be the exclusive streaming home of Doctor Who (2005-2022). No word if it’ll show up on AMC+ Canada, which does in fact exist, but we’re used to being the forgotten child of media. Plus we have more BFI and Big Finish news, a nice little BF tribute to Gareth David-Lloyd, and we travel back to the Jodie Whittaker era with a Miniscope examining the directing work of Lee Haven Jones on Spyfall Part Two, Orphan 55, and Revolution of the Daleks!

    The worlds of Doctor Who collide once more as the BBC launches into new Fugitive Doctor adventures via Circuit Breaker, a multi-platform saga in the tradition of Time Lord Victorious and Doom’s Day,.The Three Who Rule are somewhat skeptical about the whole business, despite the welcome addition of a new and quite snazzy hat for Jo Martin’s Fugitive Doctor! There’s also an Entertainment Weekly list of the top 50 Doctor Who stories of the modern era which is just as non-controversial as you’d think, articles about missing episodes in general and the The Daleks’ Master Plan in particular, multicam from School Reunion and an extended hockey-Who metaphor like you’ve all been clamouring for! And speaking of long-awaiting things, we have the conclusion of our latest Classic Series Commentary with Part Four of The Mysterious Planet!

    More exciting coverage of missing episodes….but this time not Doctor Who! Yes, a cutting copy of a 1968 episode of Morecambe & Wise has been discovered. But while a missing episode has been born anew, the past must fall as the Ianto shrine is finally disassembled with many a Ianto-ist in attendance along with Ianto himself, Gareth David Lloyd. Plus the usual Big Finish Zapruder-ing, Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo on Canadian TV, and our feature interview with Blake’s 7 Production Diary Series C with creators Jonathan Helm and Grahame Robertson! Maximum Power!

    The time has come and the two previously missing but now gloriously present episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan, namely The Nightmare Begins (Episode 1) and Devil’s Planet (Episode 3), are here to be viewed and reviewed! They appeared not only on the BBC iPlayer but also in full on the US (but not Canadian, feh) Classic Doctor Who Youtube channel, and we have viewed said episodes and have thoughts. But that’s not all we also have an interview with Toby Hadoke, who hosted a screening at Riverside Studios and reflects with Steven on the screening, the episodes, and the overall wonder that is their return!

    The Three Who Rule take on the big questions this week, including whether or not to call the Sea Devils “Homo Aqua,” possible BBC broadcast plans for The War Between the Land and the Sea, the existence of 4K 35mm transfers of telecined old TV shows, and most importantly the spreading media virus known as the Spiral Staircase, which has driven Steven further around the bend than usual! Plus Tubi intrigue regarding the status of Classic Doctor Who, Doctor Who Magazine issuing massive pieces about Carole Ann Ford and Terry Nation, and most importantly, the first of our five-part re-evaluation of Torchwood: Children of Earth!

    For a fallow Time of Who there sure is a bunch a news to cover including Ncuti “Doctor Who” Gatwa talking about why he left the show (whether we believe him or not is a matter of debate), the BBC maintining its interest in Doctor Who, Mark Gatiss on the dangers of nostalgia, an Emmy nomination for (of all things) “There’s Always a Twist”, the triumphant return of the BBC Shop, Blake’s 7, Big Finish, Paul Cornell’s new comic business venture, and more! Why, it’s as if we aren’t about to enter a Second Wilderness Years!

  17. Once and Future: Coda - The Final Act is queued up and ready to entertain me on my walk home from work.

    I've not been a fan of this anniversary series but I'm still looking forward to #LisaBowerman #JonathanCarley #Voord and the debut of #JoMartin at #BigFinish
