Radio Free Skaro #407 – Running Through Black Light
< Day Two of Gallifrey One 2014! We ring in this auspicious occasion with the august personage of Dominic Glynn, musician extraordinaire and composer of what many (well…us, anyway) consider the best arrangement of the classic opening theme. And we continue with the Lovely Person Agenda with the presence of author and bon vivant Rob Shearman and comedian, actor and 60s BBC barman Toby Hadoke, who performed his one-man show “My Stepson Stole my Sonic Screwdriver” here at Gallifrey One only last night! But instead of covering that fine event, we spend 20-odd minutes berating the pair of them for not publishing Volume Two of Running Through Corridors. That’s Radio Free Skaro, all class. |

Radio Free Skaro #403 – Fluid Links
< The Three Who Rule aren’t known for feedback, which is befitting of their hubristic megalomania and general dedication to evil. But in a new feature called Fluid Links, we’ve invited you, the listener, to submit topics of note for us to hash over, debate, pettily argue and break into tears over. Shocking lack of imagination or new era of transparency and openness? You be the judge.
Also news, LEGO, emulated video games, funny books, Gally announcements and DVD releases! |

– Arthur Darvill…At Gallifrey One! |

Gallifrey One 2014 Guest Update – Arthur Darvill!
< |
| A big guest announcement for the 2014 edition of Gallifrey One convention next month! |
 Arthur Darvill played Amy Pond’s long suffering boyfriend turned heroic husband Rory Williams for two and a half seasons during Matt Smith’s tenure in Doctor Who. Arthur was slated to appear at the 2013 Gallifrey One before having to bow out, so we’re happy to say that 2014 will be his first appearance at the world’s foremost Doctor Who convention. |
| Also, details about the interview panels for both Arthur Darvill and Billie Piper were posted at gallifreyone.com. We’ll see you there in a few weeks time! |

Radio Free Skaro #402 – Pop! Pop! Pop!
< The days are long and the news is sparse, but that didn’t stop the Three Who Rule from tackling a smattering of stats and DVD news in order to get to the important stuff, a commentary for “An Adventure in Space and Time”. Chris was available for the news but wasn’t for the commentary, so in his stead TV historian and bon vivant Simon Harries lent his considerable knowledge to an analysis of Mark Gatiss’ love letter to Doctor Who’s fascinating origins. Thrill to stories of BBC Television Centre! Watch David Bradley own the screen as William Hartnell! Listen to three grown men gibber incoherently over that scene at the end! Pop Pop Pop! |

Gallifrey One 2014 Guest Update
< Tom Price was one of the most popular recurring characters on Torchwood, playing PC Andy Davidson throughout all four series of the Doctor Who spinoff. Tom is also a successful stand-up comedian in London. This will be Tom’s first appearance at Gallifrey One. |
 Tracey Childs appeared onscreen in Doctor Who for the first time in 2008, playing future Doctor Peter Capaldi’s wife Metella in 2008’s “The Fires of Pompeii”. However, Tracey has acted with several other Doctors (some, like David Tennant, before they were involved with Doctor Who) in many Big Finish audio dramas since the early 2000s. Tracey’s first North American convention was at Chicago TARDIS in November 2013,and this will be her first ever Gallifrey One. |
 Emma Campbell-Jones has appeared in Doctor Who twice – once as Dr. Kent in 2011’s “The Wedding of River Song”, and she had a small, but ultimately memorable, appearance as Cass in “The Night of the Doctor”, which re-introduced Paul McGann to the world of televised Doctor Who in November 2013. This will be Emma’s first appearance at Gallifrey One. |
 Jane Goddard has voiced several characters in many different Big Finish audio dramas, including the Dalek Empire series. This will be Jane’s first visit to Gallifrey One. |
| Also, sadly both Bruno Langley and Jacqueline King have had to bow out of this year’s convention. Check out the full list of guests on the Gallifrey One website. Stay tuned to Gallifrey One and Radio Free Skaro for future guest announcements! |

April 2014 North America Doctor Who DVD Release
< |
| 2013 saw the return of almost two complete, previously thought lost forever, Doctor Who stories: The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear.
While The Enemy of the World, the complete story, has seen release on DVD already (except in the United States as yet – sorry American friends!), The Web of Fear has finally had its North American DVD release date announced as April 22, 2014. The iTunes release of The Web of Fear, the second story to feature the Yeti and the recently-returned Great Intelligence, of course had a reconstruction for its missing Episode 3; it seems the DVD release will have the reconstruction again despite other recent Classic Doctor Who releases having some episodes animated. In fact, like The Enemy of the World, no extras are likely be included with the DVD release of The Web of Fear, though Warner has yet to formally announce that information. No final artwork is yet available, though it will be based on the above design by Tea-Lady Design. MSRP for this single-disc release will be $19.98. Click on the above artwork for a larger version, and read more details at TVShowsOnDVD.com! |

Radio Free Skaro #401 – Nightmare in Silver
< It’s the beginning of the next 400 episodes of Radio Free Skaro, and what better way to start off this new era than with talk of Star Wars, weather in Florida, hockey, Tim Hortons and other irrelevant meanderings! The Three Who Rule eventually focused their energies and relayed what little Doctor Who news eked out this week, including such gems as new guests for Gallifrey 2014 (and the lineup for our own live show on Friday, February 14th), the return of friend of the show Phil Ford to Doctor Who, and other assorted newsy morsels.
All mere preamble to a commentary recorded this summer at Westercon for “Silver Nemesis”. We’re not saying our commentary is good, but rest assured it is better than the story itself, so have a listen to it, won’t you? |
