A wide variety of news leads off the latest episode of Radio Free Skaro, as the Three Who Rule pontificate about the fate of Caroline Skinner, the discovery of early Doctor Who scripts and even a little about the upcoming Series 7B… but wait, there’s more! This week saw the release of the Special Edition of The Aztecs, which includes the recently-found third episode of Galaxy 4, and what more fitting way to celebrate its release on home video than for the RFS lads to talk all over it in the form of a commentary. Talk of Lego, the upcoming Calgary Expo, the realization we’re on the cusp of the longest unbroken streak of Doctor Who episodes since 2010 – and of course the other news of the week – round out this week’s podcast. Enjoy!

– Mark Sheppard…At Calgary Expo!
– Calgary Expo…Preliminary Schedule!

Just as Doctor Who is missing episodes from its archive, the Three Who Rule are missing Chris this week. But instead of providing you with a telesnap reconstruction of Pedantor, we bring to you instead an interview with Richard Molesworth, author of Wiped!, the second edition of which is hitting bookshelves soon. Steven and Richard discuss all there is to talk about regarding missing episodes, including recent discoveries, mystery in Sierra Leone, and what’s being done to hopefully find more episodes in the future. Warren and Steven also plough through a news list featuring discussion of conventions, Series 7b news, and outrage at the continued absence of a Bill Filer action figure.

Show Notes:

– Gallifrey One…25 Glorious Years!
– Official BBC…Doctor Who Celebration Weekend!
– Series 7b tidbits…from Steven Moffat!
– New Ice Warrior…picture!
– Series 7b…promo pics!
– The Tenth Planet regeneration scene…animated!
– The Mind of Evil…DVD extras!

Radio Free Skaro #356 – Click here to listen!

After the craziness of last week’s Calgary Expo announcement (which crashed the servers at Radio Free Skaro headquarters, aka a rusty shack in Surrey, BC), and two weeks after the wild times of Gallifrey One, the Three Who Rule were finally able to sit back, relax, and take in an episode of Doctor Who. And then talk over it. The episode of choice is “The Snowmen”, the 2012 Christmas special that caused much merriment amongst most of the masses. Minus Warren, Chris and Steven find time before hand to discuss the news of the week, including the passing of designer Ray Cusick, responsible for one of the most iconic science fiction designs of all time. He also designed the Daleks.

Show Notes:

– Calgary…Expo!
– The Bells…Of St John!
– Series 7B…Teaser!
– The Ice Warriors…Animated For DVD!
– Peter Cushing Dalek Movies…Coming Soon On Blu-Ray!
– An Adventure In Space And Time…Wraps Filming!
– Tomb of the Cybermen…Audiobook!
– Raymond Cusick…Dies.

Commentary:

– The…Snowmen!

No North American Doctor Who DVDs have been announced yet for April, and none may yet be announced, but a May release has been announced today.

The Visitation SE is being rereleased on May 14 in Region 1. More details on the release can of course be heard on the recent Radio Free Skaro coverage of Gallifrey One, but suffice it to say some nice extras will be included on the release.

Gallifrey One interviewee Mark Strickson presents a retrospective on the story in Grim Tales, The Television Centre of the Universe: Part One features Strickson, Peter Davison and Janet Fielding reminiscing about the BBC Television Centre, and a whole lot more will feature on the release.

The Visitation SE is a 2-disc set and has an MSRP of $34.98. Click on the package art for a larger version. Check TVShowsOnDVD.com for more details!
