With TV viewers in Canada and the US now caught up with the rest of the world regarding The Waters of Mars, the time was right for the Radio Free Skaro team to provide a running commentary on the recent masterpiece bestowed upon us by Graeme Harper, Russell T Davies, and (friend of the show) Phil Ford. Main points of discussion during the commentary were the unparalleled acting skills of David Tennant, the talents of directorial master Graeme Harper, and why it’s so difficult to find a timepiece that accurately measures rels. Check out the show notes at www.radiofreeskaro.com.

Carrying on from the last episode, Steve proudly displays one of his favorite -- if not his ultimate favorite! -- episode, "Enlightenment."  Steve attempts to enlighten Sean on the story's merits, and Sean generally scratches his head as if it had a dead bird planted on it. Naturally, discussion is made regarding Captain Wrack's rack and the gratuitous use of terrible and immature jokes.

Will Steve persuade Sean to save the Doctor?  Or will Sean instead choose enlightenment?  All will be revealed...

Oh... and there's some important news.....

We'll be away for the holiday period, coming back at the start of the New Year. Expect one or two changes - including interviews with Andrew Cartmell and Gary Russell...

Whilst we're away we have, for you, Dalek Empires Seven and Nine - Mr Dalek Invades Trumptonshire; and Mr Dalek and the Year Of The Gap, all four episodes of the TCE Dr Who Theatre's 'Logopolis' and an interview with Glenn McCoy - author of...er...Timelash...

The surest sign of an impending deluge of press reports is upon The Three Who Rule -- a slow news week, aka the calm before the storm. In what seems fitting for an audio podcast, most of the points of discussion involve audio work including a look at the recently transmitted "Shelved" which notes the reasons behind the cancellation of Shada (among other shows). Graeme Harper -- only the second subject not to be chosen randomly -- gets his turn in the Miniscope. Much well-earned fawning occurs over Harper's Doctor Who ouevre along with lamentations over knowing Harper isn't involved in Series 5/1/31.

This time around Jo! gets all misty eyed over Peter Davison in a towel, Tony has a chat with composer and muscian, Danny Stewart about Doctor Who themes past and present, and we premier Danny's latest mix of the theme. We also have the remix of the theme to The Trial Of A Time Lord - something very special indeed....

Next time, it's the obligatory Christmas/Insert holiday of your choice here, episode, where we look at K9 and Company and, well...quite a few little surprises lined up.....

all feedback including what you want for Christmas and how you think Tennant will do the big glowy thingy to

show@flashingblade.org.uk

This addy can also be used if you have any questions for Gary Russell and Andrew Cartmel who we will be interviewing very shortly.....

Date may change - but hopefully we can chat about the latest SJAs in Series 3

In "The Seeds of Death," the Ice Warriors attempt to use the transmat system to bring death and destruction to Earth. And nothing happens in "The Space Pirates." Nothing! Oh, you want a better synopsis than that? Okay, a group of space pirates steal a rare ore, while The Doctor and his friends are trapped in various rooms.

Date may change - but hopefully we can chat about the latest SJAs in Series 3

With 2009 coming swiftly to an end, all the major game releases for the year have happened. Join in to discuss your choices for Game of the Year, across all consoles.

In the spirit of friendly competition, the gentlemen propose a challenge: they will each state their favorite episode, and then their counterpart will attempt to blast holes in the story.

Up first for this challenge is Steve, who faces the daunting challenge of poking a wavy, drunken, critical finger at Sean's favorite story, "The Seeds of Doom."  Steve, for instance, wonders why the Doctor suddenly has a fondness for firearms, yet Sean mysteriously doesn't remember that.  (What Sean does remember is the name of the Seventh Doctor's first story.)

They also take a short gander at the new Children in Need clip and answer the question that has plagued mankind forever: Which will get you drunker?  Hot mulled wine or Rasputin ale?  (Hint: Tom Baker played him.)

We have found ourselves slightly short on feedback and have been crying in our drinks, so please send your questions, comments, and/or favorite sexual fantasies to tardistavern@gmail.com.
