Gallifrey One 2013 Guest Update
< |
| Some more guests have been announced for the upcoming Gallifrey One convention in February 2013! Some are new to the convention, and some are returning fan favourites. |
 The Doctor is in! After previously announcing there wouldn’t be a Doctor at the upcoming Gally, Sylvester McCoy was announced today as being confirmed for 2013! His first appearance at Gallifrey One since 2008, McCoy is of course well-known as the Seventh Doctor, who some consider to be the longest-serving Doctor thanks to the hiatus before Paul McGann took over the TARDIS, but he will also soon be seen as Radagast the Brown in the upcoming Hobbit trilogy. Hooray for Gally having a Doctor! |
 But wait, there’s another Doctor… sort of! Also announced today for The 24 Hours of Gallifrey One is the Twelfth-and-a-half Doctor, aka The Valeyard, Michael Jayston. Jayston will be making his first appearance at Gallifrey One and will no doubt be thrilling attendees with stories of the tumultuous Season 23 as well as his long and varied acting career. |
| Check out the full, and ever-increasing, list of guests on the Gallifrey One website. Stay tuned to Gallifrey One and Radio Free Skaro for future guest announcements! |
| Memberships have sold out for Gallifrey One; The Three Who Rule will be there to cover the convention, as well as recording a live podcast on the main stage, and we hope to see you all there! |

Doctor Who: The Snowmen – Trailer
< The Three Who Rule were reduced to Two this week, but Steven and Warren were joined by the inestimable Simon Harries of Tachyon TV fame for a commentary on “The Power of Three,” the penultimate story of this half-season. Simon’s dry wit counterbalanced Steven’s idiot savantism (emphasis on the “idiot”) and Warren’s outright stupidity to produce a most delicious bit of commentary that we’re sure you’ll enjoy! But that’s not all! Though it nearly is, as the news was sparse this week, with only intrigues and tales of lost (and then found) Neil Gaiman scripts to report to you, our dear, dear listeners. |

Radio Free Skaro #335 – Browder Chowder
< It was a bit of a light week in the world of Doctor Who as the production team secluded themselves in a Cardiff conference room to read through Neil Gaiman’s eagerly anticipated second Doctor Who script, so the Three Who Rule devote some of their attention to the nerdplosion that was Disney buying up Lucasfilm. When Neil Perryman of The Adventures With the Wife in Space drops in for the commentary of “A Town Called Mercy”, the off topic meanderings continue with praise and scorn heaped upon Farscape, Babylon 5, and some other series not named Doctor Who. Worry not, though, dear listener. There’s still plenty of Who talk to validate the name of this podcast, from the astounding news that Gallifrey One is sold out for 2013 to fine performance of one Ben Browder. Enjoy! |

– LucasFilm…Bought By Disney! Commentary: |
Radio Free Skaro #334 – Nefertiti Graffiti
< Dinosaurs! On a Spaceship! Matt Smith’s enthusiasm aside, does the fluffy lizardfest hold up to the laser-like scrutiny of Steven, Warren, and Luke from The Minute Doctor Who Podcast in this, the second of the “Pond Farewell Tour” commentaries? Were Mitchell and Webb any good as surly robots? Does the Doctor’s team of historical oddities (and Rory’s dad) make for high adventure and rollicking space-based shenanigans? Are any of these questions even close to addressed in the commentary? Tune in to find out, as well as hear tiny morsels of what could charitably called “news!” |
| Show Notes:
– Series 7B…filming update! Commentary: |
Radio Free Skaro #333 – Avid Femmy Robomen
< With the New! Doctor! Who! countdown clock having more than two months on it, a mandate was declared by the Three Who Rule that now is the time for Season 7A commentaries. NOW. Over the coming weeks their trademark brand of pedantism, whimsy and love for classic rock will undoubtedly distract from the adventures of the Doctor, Amy and Rory playing out before them onscreen, starting this week with Asylum of the Daleks. But wait! Chip, the Two-minute Time Lord, joins our august trio for this episode, allegedly to voice his opinions on Asylum but mostly the keep Steven, Warren and Chris in line. Does he succeed? Tune in to find out! |
