A post-Gally funk has set in for the Three Who Rule, but they soldiered on regardless, bringing you the news of the week and the irreverence you know and tolerate. Not that there was much news of course, but this week is only a precursor to the inevitable flood of pre-Fnarg promotion and pimpery sure to come, not to mention the premiere of an entirely new era of Doctor Who in mere weeks. Soon, my pretties, soon.

SPACE Podcast – March 5, 2010

<![CDATA[spacebadgeOn the latest SPACE Podcast, The Three Who Rule reminisce about Gallifrey 21, where (as followers of this site will have known) they spent the past few days talking to the best and brightest of the Doctor Who world. And, no, The Incident was not expanded upon…

Anyway, listen for yourselves!]]>

SPACE Blog – A new season, a new Doctor, and a new era.

<![CDATA[spacebadgeBy now we’ve all seen David Tennant morph into Matt Smith, and been offered a tantalizing glimpse of the 11th Doctor as he hurtles towards the Earth in a burning TARDIS. But we really have no idea what to expect from the new series, even factoring in spoiler reports and leaked pictures of new and returning monsters. Speculation is not only our only course of action, it’s also loads of fun, so let’s begin.

The most crucial element in any new series of Doctor Who is of course the Doctor himself. With Matt Smith, the audience has been handed a huge unknown, both in terms of his previous work and how he’ll portray the iconic character. All we really know is what we’ve seen in the final minute of “The End of Time Part Two,” and that’s barely anything to go on.

The Three Who Rule bury the hatchet regarding The Incident in time to talk to iconic Doctor Who director Graeme Harper in this, the last Radio Free Skaro episode from Gallifrey 21. Harper’s work, which indirectly inspired Radio Free Skaro to be created, is discussed at great length, including the controversial Warriors’ Gate, the legendary The Caves of Androzani, and how Harper just missed out on directing for Series Fnarg – twice.

On this special Gallifrey edition of Radio Free Skaro, we delve deep into the dark underbelly of Doctor Who, first in a discussion with writer Tony Lee and artist Matthew Dow Smith about the new Tenth and Eleventh Doctor comics coming soon from IDW Publishing, and second, (and far more sinister) the 2010 Podcast Summit, where the evil practitioners of the dark art held forth on their methods and madness. The terror!

After the “incident” with Chris on Friday that resulted in no podcast being released for the first official day of Gallifrey 21, Radio Free Skaro returned today in full force with interviews with Nick Briggs, Phil Ford, and Rob Shearman. Listen to these three fine gentlemen regale you with tales of woe, whimsy, and water – not necessarily in that order. NOTE: Chris’s appearance on this podcast is purely due to contractual obligation. We cannot comment on any rumours that have been circulating about Chris’s future on Radio Free Skaro.

Crisis at Gallifrey: Pedantor Axed in RFS Plot

<![CDATA[

We regret to announce that due to corporate restructuring, Radio Free Skaro Executive Chairman Michael Grade has decided to rightsize its current on-air team. As a result, the position held by Chris from Edmonton (aka Pedantor) has been affected. Chris’s behaviour and predilections over the past several days are counter to our current vision and are detrimental to the image we wish to portray here at Radio Free Skaro. Because of this decision, we will be unable to present a podcast to you on Friday at Gallifrey. However, we can assure you that this is only a hiatus, and Radio Free Skaro will return later even better than ever!

In the second of our daily Gallifrey podcasts, the Three Who Rule delved into the shiny, circular world of Who on DVD with special guests Steve Roberts of the Restoration Team and Steve Manfred of the Doctor Who DVD FAQ. Behind the scenes documentaries, animated Who, and the dicey state of the TV Movie ever appearing in North America were only a few of the topics covered by these fine gentlemen. All that and news, special appearances by fellow podcasters, and the usual whimsy you’ve come to expect from us. Enjoy!

Day One of Gallifrey for Radio Free Skaro was a wild, crazy time, consisting mostly of a vast podcast summit between several renowned Doctor Who podcasters, as well as ourselves. Some of this podcest made its way up to The Lobby at the LAX Marriott, where eight podcasters, including a rare appearance from all four members of Tachyon TV, succeeded in firmly planting their feet in their mouths. Be warned…
