Radio Free Skaro – “Hell Bent” Commentary With Rachel Talalay (2016)
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.
Back in the spring of 2016, Rachel Talalay joined us to participate in director’s commentaries for both “Heaven Sent” and “Hell Bent” on Radio Free Skaro episodes 533 and 534. Here now is the commentary for “Hell Bent”.
And join us on January 24 for Part Two of our Miniscope on director Rachel Talalay when we look at “Heaven Sent” and “Hell Bent”.

Radio Free Skaro – Archive Interviews With Rachel Talalay (2014-15)
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.
This instalment features our first two interviews with Rachel. The first is Warren’s interview with her, which we originally released on Radio Free Skaro #445 in the runup to the Series 8 finale in 2014, as well as our second chat with Rachel from Radio Free Skaro #463, recorded in a very busy lobby at the LAX Marriott at Gallifrey One in February 2015.
Thanks for listening to these, and we hope you enjoy the first part of our Miniscope on director Rachel Talalay, covering “Dark Water” and “Death in Heaven”, on the next episode of Radio Free Skaro.
Radio Free Skaro #776 – You Say You Want A Revolution
The moment has arrived! The moment being John Barrowman, Chris Noth, a bunch of Security Drone-leks and the Return of (and breaking of) the Fam as Jodie Whittaker graces our screens once more as the Doctor in “Revolution of the Daleks”! What did the Three Who Rule think of the only new Doctor Who we’ll see for months and months? How did we react to Graham and Ryan leaving the TARDIS? And more to the point, who the hell is John Bishop? Tune in and find out!

Radio Free Skaro #775 – Organonic Chemistry
The countdown has begun for both an end to Our Year of Complete Garbage 2020 and “Revolution of the Daleks”, airing New Year’s Day and which apparently contains a new scene filmed in the aforementioned Year Of Badness. The New Year’s special will also be available from the BBC in 4K HDR, and if audio is your thing, gentleman voiceslinger Nicholas Briggs has some tips on voicing the Daleks! But let’s be honest here, you’re clamouring for our thoughts in our Classic Series Commentary on the Fourth Doctor story “The Creature From The Pit”! Don’t bore us, let’s get to Chloris!

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”!
