Come join the fun of the west country accents, slash writers going crazy, lost plots, a golden Wanda Ventham and just about the darkest Doctor Who story ever! And what could possibly be in store for the next installment of the summer commentary series?

With Series Five done and packed away, and with everyone staring down the barrel of a six month wait for new Who, the Three Who Rule decided to embark upon a summer of commentary episodes on classic, randomly selected stories from Doctor Who’s past.

Phil Ford on Doctor Who: The Adventure Games

<![CDATA[You may remember a few weeks ago on Radio Free Skaro that our own Warren Frey had an article coming out at Eurogamer in early June in which Warren talked with Phil Ford, writer of the first three episodes of Doctor Who: The Adventure Games. Well, Eurogamer dragged their heels on releasing the article and it was never published. However, over at Warren’s long running blog, www.freyburg.com, the full article is now available. In it, Phil Ford (who has appeared on Radio Free Skaro three times in the past) discusses how the project came about and where it can go in the future.

Radio Free Skaro #204 – The Big Bang on the Edge of Forever

<![CDATA[

Radio Free Skaro #204 – Click here to listen

Something almost completely impossible happened this week in that not only did the Series 5 finale, The Big Bang, provide a fantastic and satisfying end to one of the best series of Doctor Who in recent memory, but the Three Who Rule actually agreed on how much they enjoyed a series finale. From Steven Moffat’s mastery of what could have been a convoluted story to Matt Smith’s best performance as The Doctor (again, for the 13th straight week), The Big Bang had it all, and it only makes the six-month wait until the 2010 Christmas special seem that much longer. And what will Radio Free Skaro do to pass the time until then? Listen and find out…
Show Notes:

The Pandorica Opens…Appreciation Index!
