It’s the end of an era but the moment has been prepared for as the trailblazing Verity! crew release their final episode capping more than a decade of smart talk about Doctor Who from six awesome ladies. Pay tribute to their work and the community they built, as we do in this episode! Plus Gallifrey One announces Mat Irvine and Waris Hussein as guests, more Circuit Breaker and Big Finish fun, various Kickstarters and neat obscurities, and an interview with Stephen James Walker, the editor of the keenly anticipated Doctor Who Production Diary – The Troughton Years!

Radio Free Skaro #1076 – The Ceefax Initiative

Download MP3

The UK is awash in televisual Mrrahhh Business this week as Sky is set to purchase ITV for $2.13 billion and what better “experts” to weigh in on the subject than three Canadians with a passing familiarity with the industry? Plus a surfeit of Troughton-era goodness in the form of a massive production diary of the era by author David Brunt and a Doctor Who: Legends special featuring Ol’ Two himself. We also have blatant foreign election interference as we endorse Count Binface and poorly explain what Ceefax is to the younger generations who do not in any way care! All this AND part one of our Classic Series Commentary for the newly released special edition of “Warriors Of The Deep”!!

Radio Free Skaro #1066 – A Space Helmet for a Cow

Download MP3

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!

Radio Free Skaro #1062 – The Daleks Will Stop at Anything

Download MP3

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!

I was aware of the obvious #DoctorWho threads - #Torchwood, Class, #TargetBooks, Sarah-Jane Adventures and the Doctors #BigFinish Audio.
But have just gone down a labyrinthine rabbit hole whilst looking into what else is out there!
About 2 lifetimes worth of books, comics, audios…..
