There was no, repeat no news this week, save a couple of tidbit that were quite spoilery and best left to rot unless confirmed correct. Added to that was RFS dilettante “The Third Guy” was off at an event in Manchester called “Who at the Fab Cafe” (sounds made up). But while Chris had an imaginary good time, it was up to Steven, Warren and Katrina to pick up the slack and give their thoughts and opinions on “The End of the World”.
As Radio Free Skaro celebrates the all important milestone of their 138th episode, they take some time out for this Wednesday Cutaway to sit around the fireplace, dig into their mailbag, and, for the first time ever, answer about half of the 22 comments and emails that the Three Who Rule have received since starting up this podcast nigh on three years ago. Will your comment from two years ago now finally be answered? Listen and find out!
With a gulf of unrealistic (and unwelcome) lack of Doctor Who stretching far over the (event) horizon, The Three Who Rule took it upon themselves to deploy their deadliest weapon: the commentary. Specifically, a look at the first series of New Who, starting with Rose. Fantastic!
This week’s Wednesday Cutaway is an even extra-er special than last week’s entry, yet, in keeping with our style, also incredibly lazy. Episode #42 of Radio Free Skaro, recorded back in July 2007, never made its way onto the official Radio Free Skaro feed, and, barring the odd fan who remembered it from its original posting, was thought to be lost in the mists of time for all eternity. However, recently extricated from a disused refuse bin in territory still owned by the Hudson’s Bay Corporation, we present to you – Radio Free Skaro: The (Almost) Lost Episode.
From July 17, 2007 :
With precious little in the way of new Dr. Who to chew over, Warren and Steven seize upon the fortuitously named episode #42 of this fine podcast to genuflect on Douglas Adams, not only in regards to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy but also his contributions to Dr Who to computer gaming and to pioneering work on what would become the World Wide Web. Stay hoopy, and don’t forget your towel!
The Three Who Rule deal with a dearth of real news the best way they know how: with inane chatter involving the likes of superfan Ian Levine and his escapades on Twitter, Warren’s continuing animosity toward the McCoy era and coming to grips with our loving hatred of otherDoctorWhopodcasts all while dealing with technical issues that forced actual editing. Come join the fun!
– Tracie Simpson (who produced Planet of the Dead, and has been working on NuWho for some time),
– Peter Bennett (who produced the upcoming Torchwood: Children of Earth, but we won’t hold that against him), and
– Beth Willis, who will act as another Executive Producer beside Piers (Load Bearing) Wenger.
Two questions beg to be asked here. Why does it take three people to fill the one job that departed producer Phil Collinson used to do on his own? And do the new producers know how to mix and serve drinks as well as their predecessor?
The answer to that last question, at least, as ably demonstrated by the video below, is most probably “no”.
(That’s Phil serving Radio Free Skaro’s own Warren Frey at Gallifrey ’09)
This week’s Radio Free Skaro Wednesday Cutaway special is so special that it has been elevated to a new category altogether – a Wednesday Episode! With an official number and everything! Its elevated status is on account of the return of Neil Perryman, of the TachyonTV Perrymans, as an extra special guest. We speak with him about his impending climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro, as well as the recent returns of Doctor Who and Red Dwarf. And if you listen really carefully you might even hear when the next TachyonTV podcast is due…
The Three Who Rule were in fine fettle this week, covering a wide swath of news involving all the exciting goings-on on Torchwood, the Sarah Jane Adventures and even Red Dwarf. Truly, this was a momentous week for fans of British sci-fi adventuring. Truly. No, really.

The Doctor Who Information Network (www.dwin.org) is reporting that SPACE, Canada’s sci-fi network, will be airing Planet of the Dead on Saturday, June 20, at 9:30 PM EST. As well, Series 5, which will debut in the UK in April 2010, will also be shown on SPACE sometime in the new year. (Even though the next three gap year specials were not mentioned, it is probably safe to assume that these will air on SPACE, as well).
Your intrepid hosts at Radio Free Skaro briefly talked about the possibility of this happening in Episode #133. However, it’s not like it’s a massive surprise, given that SPACE has already aired “The Next Doctor”, and also given that the CBC, which aired the first four series in increasingly erratic and sporadic fashion, is facing a large amount of financial cutbacks these days.

New Producers on Doctor Who

The BBC recently announced three (3) new producers for Series 5 of Doctor Who (For the full story from the BBC, click here.). They are:
– Tracie Simpson (who produced Planet of the Dead, and has been working on NuWho for some time),
– Peter Bennett (who produced the upcoming Torchwood: Children of Earth, but we won’t hold that against him), and
– Beth Willis, who will act as another Executive Producer beside Piers (Load Bearing) Wenger.
Two questions beg to be asked here. Why does it take three people to fill the one job that departed producer Phil Collinson used to do on his own? And do the new producers know how to mix and serve drinks as well as their predecessor?

Gap Year Specials, Series 5 To Air On SPACE in Canada

The Doctor Who Information Network (www.dwin.org) is reporting that SPACE, Canada’s sci-fi network, will be airing Planet of the Dead on Saturday, June 20, at 9:30 PM EST. As well, Series 5, which will debut in the UK in April 2010, will also be shown on SPACE sometime in the new year. (Even though the next three gap year specials were not mentioned, it is probably safe to assume that these will air on SPACE, as well).
Your intrepid hosts at Radio Free Skaro briefly talked about the possibility of this happening in Episode #133. However, it’s not like it’s a massive surprise, given that SPACE has already aired “The Next Doctor”, and also given that the CBC, which aired the first four series in increasingly erratic and sporadic fashion, is facing a large amount of financial cutbacks these days.
Anyway, here’s the link to the story on the DWIN site.
