The time has finally arrived for The Three Who Rule to cast their eyes back on Series 6 of Doctor Who via their annual commentary series. Things kick off with, of course, The Impossible Astronaut, as the lads talk over what they felt to be one of the best opening episodes for any series of NuWho… and as ever, rarely staying on topic. But for every beginning there’s an ending as the last ever episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures graced the small screen this past week, and things just won’t be the same without Lis Sladen. The news of the week rounds out the show with a look at DVDs, books, and the latest from the rumour mill.
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.
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?
Gallifrey One has announced another guest update for the 2012 edition of the popular Doctor Who convention, featuring first-time guest W. Morgan Sheppard, and writer Simon Guerrier!
Sheppard played the older version of Canton Everett Delaware III in this past series of Doctor Who and joins his son, Mark, as a guest for the upcoming convention. Guerrier is known for his work with his brother Thomas on the Classic Doctor Who DVD range along with writing novels, Big Finish audio plays and more.
Also announced today are actress Chase Masterson who made an appearance at the previous Gallifrey One, director James Kerwin, illustrator Blair Shedd, animator Aimee Major Steinberger, and NASA scientist Dr Kevin Grazier.
Unfortunately the announcement today also revealed previously-announced guest Frazer Hines would be unable to attend.
Gallifrey One is North America’s largest Doctor Who convention and Network 23, running February 17-19, 2012, will be dedicated to the memory of Elisabeth Sladen and Nicholas Courtney.
The world of Doctor Who has entered the dark times. With no new episodes of our beloved show until Christmas, The Three Who Rule are forced to delve into their bag of tricks this week. And what do they find in the bag? Why, it’s a new interview with The Sarah Jane Adventures head writer, Phil Ford! Join us as we talk with Phil about the new series of The Sarah Jane Adventures along with the next Doctor Who Adventure Game, The Gunfighter… er, Gunpowder Plot, and of course talk about some memories of Sarah Jane herself, Lis Sladen.
A touch early this week, the latest SPACE Channel InnerSPACE podcast is now available! The Radio Free Skaro lads contribute their final capsule review of the current Doctor Who series with their thoughts on The Wedding of River Song whilst Mark and Teddy talk about Todd and The Book of Pure Evil. Have a listen!
For the uninitiated, the InnerSPACE Podcast is the official podcast from SPACE Channel, the Canadian home of Doctor Who. Hosted by Mark Askwith, this weekly podcast features chatter about various news and events in the sci-fi world, as well as banter about the various shows that air on SPACE including Doctor Who.
Silence! (Silents?) Timey-wimey! River Song getting hitched! “The Wedding of River Song” had it all, including a moving tribute to the Brig. But did the various parts mesh together into a satisfying whole, or did the Three Who Rule think otherwise? The sudden demise of Doctor Who Confidential was also hashed over in great detail, with some division on the reasons and consequences of losing a window into the behind the scenes goings-on of our favorite television program. Stats, toys, t-shirts, expensive scale models of Matt Smith….and baseless Cybermat Roomba speculation round out this, the last Radio Free Skaro dealing with new Who until December 25th.
The Three Who Rule chime in with a capsule review of Gareth Roberts’ Closing Time, and Cynthia Loyst, the new InnerSPACE host, makes her first appearance, all on the latest InnerSPACE podcast!
