Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro

Jingle bells are probably silent this Christmas as, if RTD's hinting in the UK media has led the Three Who Rule to conclude, after Mr. Davies stating he won't be filming anything this year, so…whither Doctor Who Christmas Special? We get after it! We also look into the spectacular looking 4K release of the 1996 TV Movie, our thoughts on the Mandolorian and Grogu, the usual Big Finish Zaprudering, and an interview with Sophie Aldred, Paul Cornell and author Adrian Tchaikovsky and their involvement in the Salvation's Child graphic novel! Space Comics!

Doctor Who is back! At least in the United States, by way of AMC+ which will be the exclusive streaming home of Doctor Who (2005-2022). No word if it'll show up on AMC+ Canada, which does in fact exist, but we're used to being the forgotten child of media. Plus we have more BFI and Big Finish news, a nice little BF tribute to Gareth David-Lloyd, and we travel back to the Jodie Whittaker era with a Miniscope examining the directing work of Lee Haven Jones on Spyfall Part Two, Orphan 55, and Revolution of the Daleks!

The TV Movie Restored

The worlds of Doctor Who collide once more as the BBC launches into new Fugitive Doctor adventures via Circuit Breaker, a multi-platform saga in the tradition of Time Lord Victorious and Doom's Day,.The Three Who Rule are somewhat skeptical about the whole business, despite the welcome addition of a new and quite snazzy hat for Jo Martin's Fugitive Doctor! There's also an Entertainment Weekly list of the top 50 Doctor Who stories of the modern era which is just as non-controversial as you'd think, articles about missing episodes in general and the The Daleks' Master Plan in particular, multicam from School Reunion and an extended hockey-Who metaphor like you've all been clamouring for! And speaking of long-awaiting things, we have the conclusion of our latest Classic Series Commentary with Part Four of The Mysterious Planet!
