Radio Free Skaro #782 – Waiting For The Gift of Sound and Vision
Thus begins Tales of Gallifrey One, our look back at some of our favourite interviews from past editions of Gallifrey One! This episode features a chat with acclaimed Doctor Who director Graeme Harper from 2010, an interview with Doctor Who producer and production manager Tracie Simpson from 2011, and a conversation with legendary BBC Radiophonic Workshop musician and sound effects genius Dick Mills, recorded in 2013.
Radio Free Skaro Presents “Tales of Gallifrey One”
As we are all aware, Gallifrey One is not happening in 2021 thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, so we here at Radio Free Skaro will be spending this upcoming weekend (where we all should have been at the LAX Marriott) instead looking back at some of our favourite interviews and live show moments under the banner Tales of Gallifrey One.
Starting Thursday, we’ll present a selection of our favourite interviews recorded at Gallifrey One over the years, including such guests as Graeme Harper, Tracie Simpson, Dick Mills, William Russell, Waris Hussein, Philip Segal, Freema Agyeman, Garrick Hagon, Howard Burden, Jamie Childs and Wayne Yip.
Since 2012, we’ve been honoured to kick off Gallifrey One on the main stage on the Friday of the convention, so this Friday, we’ll be presenting a “greatest hits” selection from our various live shows, featuring guests Peter Davison, Philip Hinchcliffe, Terrance Dicks, Pete McTighe, Vinay Patel, Joy Wilkinson, Julian Glover, Patricia Quinn, and Chip Sudderth’s Two-Minute Time Lord segment celebrating the tenth anniversary of the return of Doctor Who.
And on Sunday, the driving force of Gallifrey One, Shaun Lyon, will be joining us for our regular episode of the podcast to reminisce about Gallifrey Ones gone by, and to look forward to the future and hopefully all returning to safely gather again in 2022.
So join us for some laughs, listen to the sounds of crowded lobbies and convention floors in the background of our past interviews, and let’s all remember great times while we work towards making new memories in the months to come.

For the next three weeks, we are presenting some archive content in the leadup to our three-part Miniscope on the works of director Rachel Talalay.
