Radio Free Skaro #219 – Fixing A Hole

The Series 5 commentary series resumes this week with a look at the latter half of the stellar return of the Weeping Angels, “Flesh and Stone”. Instead of stunned silence, though, which one might expect to occur when watching something as entrancing as this, the Three Who Rule instead descended into heated arguments about Battlestar Galactica and the debatable merits of rock operas. One thing that they could all agree on, though, is that The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone are fine examples of some of the best television ever made.

BBC Drama Trailer – Autumn/Winter 2010/11

<![CDATA[The BBC released a trailer promoting several Drama productions that will be airing in the next few months. The three-minute trailer is chock full of actors who were formerly Doctor Who (Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant), are Doctor Who (Matt Smith), and who could have been Doctor Who (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and there are even a couple of brief clips of the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas Special. Have a look!

2010 Christmas Special to be 90 Minutes?

<![CDATA[2010 Christmas Special director Toby Haynes’ agent’s website is reporting the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special will be 90 minutes in length. Confirmation of this information from elsewhere, such as a formal announcement from the BBC, has yet to materialize; however, agent websites in past have proven to shed light on details not previously released officially. Radio Free Skaro earlier this year broke the news of an extended run time for The Eleventh Hour and of course both The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang went beyond the usual 45 minute run time so there’s certainly precedent in the Matt Smith era for longer-running episodes. Time will tell if this information proves correct, but we at Radio Free Skaro always welcome more Doctor Who!]]>

Radio Free Skaro #216 – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

Radio Free Skaro #216 – Click here to listen

In a not-so-unprecedented move, Steven and Chris welcome back the Two-minute Time Lord himself, Chip, to take a look at what is thought by many to be the weak point of Series 5 — Victory of the Daleks. The Series 5 commentary series examines where the episode went right and where it went wrong, and of course there can never be enough discussion about the Power Rangers-esque Daleks. Will opinions change for the better? Will they change for the worse? Will Churchill ever put out that blasted cigar when in the bunker? Only some of those questions will be answered in this week’s Radio Free Skaro!
Show Notes:

Two-minute…Time Lord!
