As world events trend ever downwards, you can always count on the Three Who Rule to not only give you the latest exciting news from the world of Doctor Who, such as Murray Gold reporting there are numerous versions of the upcoming Xmas Special written, a BBC executive saying quite sensibly that Doctor Who will come back when it’s good and ready and more, but also our usual basting in the warm glow of the past as we go back to the halcyon days of 1986 with a Classic Series Commentary on the greatest model shot in the history of television (and some story stuff I guess) with Part One of “The Mysterious Planet”!
It’s a banner day for Wilderness Years junior campers as the 35mm prints of the TV Movie have been lovingly scanned and become a 4K release on Blu-Ray, at least in the UK (for now). Plus there’s a new documentary on The War Between on Youtube for North Americans pining to see…well, anything about them there Homo Aquas, a new Rachel Talalay video revealing “The Star Beast” directorial trickery, and most excitingly, an interview with journalist Paul Kirkley about the current state of the UK industry. Hint…it ain’t great! Set your VCR to channel 3 to find out more!
The Three Who Rule are reunited as Steven reports back from his sojourn into the depths of Los Angeles and Gallifrey One and Chris and Warren regale him with tales of The Android Invasion and Warriors of the Deep viewings in Vancouver! Burying the lead here though, it’s a banner day for Whovians as that most holy of 1970s brands, Fisher-Price has finally released Little People in the form of Doctors 9-15, excluding 14. Plus we have a surfeit of Big Finish covers to wildly speculate about, BBC executive Zai Bennett adds to the pile of vague confirmations about the future of Doctor Who, and more!
It’s Gallifrey One time! While the Canadian contingent in Los Angeles this year was low (including both Warren and Chris, who like many Canadians chose not to frequent the environs of our troubled neighbours), Steven represented both the Embassy of Radio Free Skaro, and the nation of Canada (the latter unofficially). Erika from Verity! and Chip from 2MTL join Steven in recapping this weekend’s convention, including talks of panels, and going inside with the many main stage interviews that Steven performed.
It’s that time of year again, the annual Gallifrey One preview show, and even though only one of our august number is braving the geopolitical winds of Canada-U.S. kerfuffles (Steven, if you’re keeping track) that won’t stop us from overanalyzing the schedule and pointing out all the highlights! Plus a surfeit of Big Finish releases, a destroyed Dalek dolly along with 1980s Tegan, some musical deep dives, and more!
It’s the return of STATS! as we ruminate over not just some frankly dismal Disney+ numbers for our beloved Doctor Who but a smattering of other genre offerings who stumbled or triumphed on the way to your eyeballs. Plus the Gallifrey One schedule is out, Blake’s 7 may be coming back, Rachel Talalay continues to win YouTube with a deep dive into Peter Capaldi’s “Be Kind” speech from “The Doctor Falls” in its various forms, and a.feature interview with Samira Ahmed and Graham Kibble-White about their excellent podcast about archive UK telly, “Through the Square Window”!
Exciting Gallifrey One news this week as the one and only Freema Agyeman makes her long-awaited return to Los Angeles in February! Also, it would be remiss not to mention missives about the Doctor Who: Worlds of Wonder exhibit in San Diego being extended, and CONsole Room in Minneapolis happening this coming weekend! Also Big Finish, the delightful Jodie Whittaker answering questions, but most importantly our final Miniscope on director Nick Hurran’s work on The Day of the Doctor!
It’s another exciting week of the Doctor Who interregnum of 2026 and we have exciting Gallifrey One guest updates, another great Rachel Talalay video involving Mondasian Cybermen, Bill Potts, and mirrors, some cryptic BBC App news we don’t fully understand, the usual Big Finish artwork overexamination, and the second part of our Nick Hurran Miniscope, featuring “Asylum of the Daleks” and “The Angels Take Manhattan”!
It’s the first podcast in this, the space year 2026, and the Three Who Rule have emerged from their New Year’s slumber to cogitate on new Gallifrey One announcements, recreated sets for The Feast of Steven and Rachel Talalay Youtube videos, a surfeit of Big Finish news, Toby Hadoke’s annual foray into memoriam with Absent Friends, and the first of our three part Miniscope series on Doctor Who director Nick Hurran, featuring “The Girl Who Waited” and “The God Complex”!
The Three Who Rule closes out 2025 with a diverting left turn into camp with a commentary for the Blake’s 7 episode “Gambit”, possibly the most outrageous sci-fi production the BBC produced in the 1970s. And who else to join us on this journey than Sarah and Sam of the Is It Camp?! podcast, where we ask the question: is this camp? (Spoilers: yes.)
