Radio Free Skaro #943 – Klaatu Varada Sethu
Hot on the heels of last week’s news of Varada Sethu joining the TARDIS crew, Sethu was seen in public filming new scenes for Doctor Who. But no announcement was made by the BBC! Curious… the Three Who Rule discuss. Also, much attention (and many dollars) is paid to new Fugitive Doctor Action Dolly news, debates over which is the on true Doctor action dolly to buy, and more. But the main event is discussing the work of Doctor Who director Michael Ferguson in Part Two of our Miniscope!

It’s Christmas, and for the first time since 2017, the Three Who Rule get to blather on Boxing Day about a Doctor Who Christmas episode, this one being “The Church on Ruby Road”! Yes, let’s hear their thoughts on Ncuti Gatwa’s new Doctor, Ruby Sunday, the mysterious Mrs. Flood, the somewhat odious goblins and their infant-craving King, and…a musical number. Plus a trailer for what we’ll see in May 2024 when the Ncuti Gatwa era both begins and continues, Steven pointing out the inaccuracies of 1960s drum kits, and so much more!
