It’s Doctor Who Day! Well. if you’re reading this on November 23rd, 2011, at any rate. But even if you aren’t, the Three Who Rule have a jam-packed show for you with not only a surprisingly packed news list but also an interview with Bill Stanley. Who is this Bill Stanley, you ask? Well, for a sizable number of older North American Whovians, PBS was the only place one could see the good Doctor’s adventures during their formative years, and Bill Stanley was the program director for Spokane PBS affiliate KSPS in the 80s and 90s. His recall of those days has not dimmed one jot, and we were delighted to talk to the man who more than anyone else is responsible for the love of Doctor Who we hold to this day. But that’s not all! We also have….a commentary for the Rebel Flesh. Yup. The Rebel…Flesh. Happy Doctor Who Day, everyone!

The dark cloud from last week’s pirate adventure has lifted and The Three Who Rule are able to take solace in blathering over one of the best-received episodes of Doctor Who from this past series. The Doctor’s Wife gets the commentary treatment, and – short story even shorter – it’s just as well-loved this time around as when we first saw it half a year ago. Also, as we start to gear our brains toward conventions such as Chicago TARDIS and Gallifrey One, we sink our teeth into some details about the recently-announced official convention. Does it sound worthwhile?

Well, it had to come to this eventually – a slow news week and a duff episode of Doctor Who to be commented on both occurring on the same episode of Radio Free Skaro. With little in the way of actual news to discuss, the Three Who Rule instead bandied about their mostly positive experiences while playing the new Doctor Who Adventure game, The Gunpowder Plot. And with equally little in the way of actual good Doctor Who, the Three meandered into discussions about Justin Bieber and the films of director Peter Weir. You have been warned.

Show Notes:

– The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 5…On BBC One!
– The Man Who Never Was…Final Ratings!
– Unmade Story…Scriptbooks!
– Doctor Who Encyclopedia…On The iPad!
– The Gunpowder…Plot!
– Eleventh Doctor Costume…T-Shirt!
– Patrick Troughton…Biography!
– The Ood Cast…Live!
– Edward Russell’s Walk for Lis…Just Giving Page!

Commentary:

– The Curse…Of The Black Spot!

February 2012 North America Doctor Who DVD Releases

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Chris

Although Amazon.ca jumped the gun with this release information some weeks back, and although we’ve already covered this on the podcast, it is now confirmed that the February 2012 North American DVD releases will be the William Hartnell story The Sensorites and the special edition of the Peter Davison story The Caves of Androzani.

With a release date of February 14, The Sensorites is a brand new release; however, North America is still catching up with the first Revisitations set as released in the UK, and Caves rounds out that collection. The Revisitations releases are of course now the only releases lagging behind the UK.

UPDATE: The finalized DVD art has been unveiled (click each picture to see larger versions of the covers), and the names of the extras on The Sensorites DVD have also been unveiled. Check out the TVShowsOnDVD entry to see those here.

The Caves of Androzani will be a two-disc release and will retail for $34.98, while the single-disc The Sensorites will carry a $24.98 MSRP.

Check out TVShowsOnDVD.com for more details.

As the Doctor Who dead time continues, The Three Who Rule brought together some of our esteemed podcasting colleagues to talk about the series that were for Doctor Who and Torchwood: Miracle Day. We welcome the Sigmas from The Ood Cast, Luke from TMDWP and Kyle from Nerdist.com and hash over what did and didn’t work for us and, of course, tackle the week’s news – or lack thereof – and talk about the penultimate installment of The Sarah Jane Adventures, The Curse of Clyde Langer. Join us, won’t you?
