Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

Doctor Who is dead, long live Doctor Who! Russell T Davies speaks of the end of his time on Doctor Who in an excerpt from his new book, while Bad Wolf's Jane Tranter laments the dismantling of the most recent TARDIS set. All this is happening while BBC Studios may have multiple bids to produce the next era of Doctor Who. All this and more, including the first episode of our Classic Series Commentary of the first quarter of "The Daleks' Master Plan"!

Big news! The moment has been prepared for by a cabal of BBC pencil pushers as the official Doctor Who Invitation To Tender was released to all and sundry! Steven and Warren pick apart the document with a fine tooth comb, highlighting requirements like "essential Britishness" before spring boarding into the usual speculation, and theorizing and equal parts cynicism and copium. Plus Big Finish and DWM news, The Timelash and a Miniscope featuring all three of the Three Who Rule examining the directing work of Peter Hoar!

A light week of Doctor Who related banter as we soldier through continued Circuit Breaker fun, speculate wildly about the upcoming Blakes 7 Series 3 Collection that was officially announced this past week, the usual Big Finish cover art overexamination, and a travel back through the years via The Timelash! Forwards to the Past, or something!

The Timelash

As befits these dog days of Doctor Who, we start this episode delving into both Edmonton infrastructure projects and the 60th anniversary of Star Trek, before summarily slapping ourselves upside the head and reporting on Warren's progress reading Circuit Breaker: Kaleidoscope (pretty good so far!) and the extraordinarily expensive yet mouth-wateringly lovely new Character Options set featuring Liz Shaw and a Primordial Professor Stahlman  Also books, the Timelash and an interview with the Cyberleader himself David Banks about his new book Man and Cyberman! Excellent!
