As 2011 draws to a close and the Three Who Rule look forward to 2012 and the next series of Doctor Who – whenever the heck it ends up being transmitted – and also deliver their commentary for the Series 6.2 opener, Let’s Kill Hitler. We’ll see if it stands the test of time or not, mad ride that it is. And in real-life news, hearty congratulations go out to former Doctor David Tennant and former Doctor’s “daughter” Georgia Moffett on their nuptials! Now calm down, fangirls. Just. Calm. Down.
Christmas has come and gone for another year, and Santa Claus has delivered another Doctor Who special for us all to devour like so much poorly digested turkey. Steven Moffat’s The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe certainly wasn’t the centrepiece of a holiday feast for the Three Who Rule, but more of a side dish of undercooked mashed potatoes that failed to elicit any strong reaction from any of the Three. Even multiple references to that most treasured of classic Who stories, The Caves of Androzani, couldn’t prevent this year’s special from being eclipsed by last year’s momentous A Christmas Carol, mentioned here only to provide this write-up a high note to end on. Here’s another depressing note, though: no more new Doctor Who for about nine months…

Doctor Who and the Universal Vacation

<![CDATA[It's not often that we post fan productions at Radio Free Skaro, but we felt this was too impressive a production to ignore! Created by Kevin Kittridge, co-directed, shot, and edited by Richard Schultz, and featuring a cast of characters and costumes from Bob Mitsch (who many will know or know of from Gallifrey One), this six-minute music video called "Doctor Who and the Universal Vacation" is a truly impressive creation. Have a look at it below, and check out Kevin’s blog post here for how the project came to being.
Happy holidays, everyone!

2011 Christmas Special – North American DVD/BD Release
Posted on December 15, 2011 by Chris
Leave a Comment
<![CDATA[
With a February 14 release date, the special features available on either edition are a special Christmas episode of Doctor Who Confidential – though oddly the one from 2010 – and Doctor Who at the Proms. So yes, it’s the bonus material the UK got last year. At least that’s what initial reports are saying. We’ll see if that changes at all to perhaps include the (last-ever) new Confidential material shot for this year (before the show was cancelled) and/or anything else.
Three Best Of… supplements are said to be included as well.
MSRP will be $14.98 for the DVD and $19.89 for the Blu-Ray.
Check out more details at TV Shows On DVD, and click on the artwork for larger versions.

Missing Classic Doctor Who Episodes Found!
Posted on December 11, 2011 by Chris

<![CDATA[
Air Lock, episode 3 from Galaxy 4, a story which was previously completely missing (save a few minutes presented on the Lost In Time DVD set), has been located and returned to the BBC along with episode 2 of the Patrick Troughton story The Underwater Menace.
The Radio Times has a great article about the find, and the BBC itself has posted a lovely piece. The discoveries were presented at the Missing Presumed Wiped event in London.
Given it’s been more than 7 years since the last announced recovery of a missing episode we’re more than a little excited by the news even if the stories in question aren’t exactly classics.
Only 106 missing episodes left to go…
And to whet the appetite, here’s a clip from Galaxy 4:

And a clip from the newly-returned episode of The Underwater Menace:
