This week on the podcast, it’s another edition of our Doctor Who trivia game show Trivia, Mr. Fibuli, with special guests Benji Clifford and Nick Briggs of the Benji and Nick Show! Also, we’ve got news about more Big Finish releases, John Bishop begins shooting his scenes for Series 13 of Doctor Who, and also the full and complete (and 100% accurate) history of British television. Also, keep watching the skies this week for some Gallifrey One-related content as we look forward to what would have been the greatest weekend of the year…

Trivia Mr Fibuli:
It’s been a very quiet week for Doctor Who news, but that won’t stop us from waffling on about KSPS Doctor Who broadcast schedules of yesteryear, Babylon 5 HD-ish upgrades, and other such ephemera! Mere distraction though for the third and final part of our Miniscope on Doctor Who director Rachel Talalay, where we look at “World Enough and Time”, “The Doctor Falls”, and “Twice Upon a Time”!

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.
Rachel has been a friend to us here at RFS, appearing no fewer than six times, and we thought it was worth re-releasing our interviews and commentaries with her over the years as a lead-in to our conversations about her work on Doctor Who.
Here is our final interview with Rachel Talalay (so far) on the podcast. This one was released across two episodes of Radio Free Skaro, 608 and 609, in the runup to the 2017 Christmas special “Twice Upon a Time”, where Warren visits the home of Rachel Talalay again to talk about that, as well as the two-part finale to Series 10.
Join us on January 31 for the third and final part of our Miniscope on director Rachel Talalay, where we look at “World Enough and Time”, “The Doctor Falls”, and “Twice Upon a Time”.
It’s an auspicious week in world history as a titan ascends to his rightful place…that’s right, Tom Baker is 87 years old and we are better for it. There’s also official news of a Doctor Who Season 24 Bluray as part of The Collection series with VAM aplenty, a Missy comic from Titan Comics, Big Finish’s “Return of the Cybermen” and and and…the second part of our Rachel Talalay Miniscope featuring her work on “Heaven Sent” and “Hell Bent”!

Join the Three Who Rule as they effusively praise one of the best directors in the history of the programme!

As we return to a Dearth of new Doctor Who here in the early days of 2021, we are forced to comfort ourselves with the cold logic of “Revolution of the Daleks” stats, as well as Big Finish’s exciting reveal of Christopher Eccleston’s audio debut! Throw in some dribs and drabs of audioboks and other ephemera but enough stalling, it’s time to tear off the bandage and suffer with us for the second half of our Classic Series Commentary of “The Creature from the Pit”!
