Doctor Who Red Nose Day Clips
< Doctor Who, in the tradition of The Curse of Fatal Death in 1999 and The Sarah Jane Adventures in 2009, was given a Comic Relief Special featuring Matt Smith as The Doctor, Arthur Darville as Rory and Karen Gillan as two Amy Ponds. Split into two parts entitled Space and Time, we find the TARDIS crew caught in a bit of a pickle…

Doctor Who Series 6 Prequel Snippets
<
The BBC has today announced that prequel snippets will be released ahead of three Series 6 episodes. Presumably similar to the Series 5 DVD linking scenes, we’ll have a short look at what happens between episodes and what will kick off the action.
Bottom line, that means more Doctor Who!]]>
Doctor Who Series Six: First Two Stories Titled
<
Today on twitter, BBC entertainment reporter Lizo Mzimba announced the titles of the first two Series 6 episodes as The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon. Given we know the episodes are set in late 1960s America, one wonders if there might be a tie-in with a certain space-related event near the tail end of that decade…
In addition, Doctor Who Magazine tweeted that the titles for the following five episodes would be released in issue 433, due in early April.

Radio Free Skaro #245 – The Howell Around Effect
< The Miniscope returns to Radio Free Skaro this week, but with a twist. Instead of the subject being chosen randomly, musician Peter Howell’s work was specifically chosen for discussion, and instead of a discussion, why not interview the man himself? So, in tandem with Dr. Phillip Serna of Adventures in Time, Space, and Music, Steven got to talk to one of his early musical heroes about his many varied scores for Doctor Who from 1980-1985. Also, news and many fact corrections from the week before. What fun!

Doctor Who Series 6 Begins April 23!
< |
| It’s always a guessing game about the start date for any new series of Doctor Who – and boy can it be fun. Nevertheless, having solid information about the start date is even better, allowing the appetite to really be whet in anticipation. Easter has long been rumoured as the beginning of Series 6, just as Easter has been the start time for so many prior series, however it now looks an even more likely, solid date.
BBC America apparently confirmed the date according an article from Entertainment Weekly before formally confirming it via Twitter and their Anglophenia blog. While the Mothership has yet to formally comment, apparently that same date is noted in Doctor Who Magazine #432. None of this can be taken as a formal announcement by the BBC until those shiny press releases start flying about, but between the BBC America announcement and history it’s pretty evident it will be Saturday, April 23 across the pond. Roll on the announcement from the BBC, the announcement from SPACE, and most importantly… roll on Easter! Here are the provided details about the series premiere: “Doctor Who is coming to America in a spectacular two-part season premiere on BBC AMERICA. Part One premieres Saturday, April 23 at 9/8c. The mysterious time traveler, the Doctor (Matt Smith), and his companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill), find themselves on a secret summons that takes them on an adventure from the desert in Utah – right to the Oval Office in1969. More details will be revealed in the coming weeks about this two-parter penned by ‘Who supremo’ Steven Moffat (Sherlock) and featuring guest star Mark Sheppard (Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica). Also set to return this season, Alex Kingston (ER, Flash Forward), as the irrepressible River Song.” |

Radio Free Skaro #244 – Beth Willis' Boots
< A week later than intended, the Three Who Rule dive into a commentary this episode with a re-watch of the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas special “A Christmas Carol”. Does it still hold up? Is it Christmassy enough? Too Christmassy? Has the shark won any more fans over? So many questions. Also, news of the week is hashed about, with particular attention paid to some forthcoming DVD releases. Also, boots are mentioning in passing, along with Beth Willis. |

Radio Free Skaro #243 – Five Rounds Rapid
< The world of Doctor Who lost one of its icons this past week, and all fans are mourning the passing of our beloved Brigadier, Nicholas Courtney. The highs from Gallifrey came crashing down as the news of Courtney’s death hit earlier in the week, and it was only fitting that a Courtney tribute episode be recorded. We welcomed Doctor Who script editor, New Adventures author and Doctor Who Magazine editor, Big Finish producer and life-long Doctor Who fan Gary Russell on the show to reminisce about his experiences with the wonderful Mr. Courtney. Please join us as we remember Sir Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, the man who portrayed him as well as cover the news of the week. |
