A truly momentous milestone, as we celebrate our 50th episode of Radio Free Skaro with...well, nothing really. Nothing, that is, except a corking bit of episode-ery known as "Human Nature," one of the highlights of Season 3. Join Warren, Steven, and Chris (otherwise known as the Third Guy) as they expostulate on the fine craftwork and Edwardian elegance of the first portion of Paul Cornell's masterwork.

Steven, Warren and the supremely jaunty Chris tackle 42, a madcap romp through a spaceship hurtling towards a dying sun, for this the 49th episode of Radio Free Skaro. We also tackle the recent announcement of a "gap year" for the series involving three specials in 2009, along with confirmation of the fourth and fifth series. And of course we ramble off-topic as usual about matters of great import.

Wie versprochen, hier der zweite Teil unsere "Comebacks". Diesmal habe wir die News der letzten Wochen in einen kurzen Cast zusammen gepackt, der dann doch langer geworden ist, als geplant. Schuld sind diesmal die Horerreaktionen auf den letzetn Cast und naturlich die Impressionen des Clubtreffens.

In this week's kinda star studded episode we are joined by good friend, non geek and reluctant sidekick Amaechi.

We revisit the Enter the Dragon bombshell and get Amaechi's thoughts on the new movie. We also discuss the new JLA movie.

In our main feature we continue our look at comic to movie adaptations with a look at those movies adapted from more obscure or independent comics.

Enjoy!!!

The Third Guy returns as Chris Burgess joins us once again for our take on "The Lazurus Experiment", a Seaon 3 time-filler redeemed by cool scorpion effects and the fact that it came right after a disastrous Dalek two-parter. We went pretty far off-topic in this one, even breaching the shores of the dreaded Coronation Street (at length), but hopefully our jib-jabber will prove somewhat entertaining nonetheless.

The episode under fire in our commentary may be nothing to write home about, but this week's episode of Radio Free Skaro was indeed special in that it included Chris Burgess, our perennial silent partner and Fifth Beatle. Chris threw in his two bits on Evolution of the Daleks (three guesses as to how he felt about this snoozefest) and managed to inspire awe and fright in both Warren and Steven with his vast and sinister knowledge of all things Whovian.

The Many Worlds of Jonas Moore stars Colin Salmon (Bond, AVP, Resident Evil, Prime Suspect) and is described as a combination of comic book illustration, with 3D animation, live action photography, newsreel archive and an original music score.

In this special episode Dave (after ditching his co-host) meets up with Howard Webster the driving force behind Jonas Moore.

In this week's interstellar episode we discuss the news of the potential Buffy spin off 'Ripper'. Dave reads his first ever James Bond book, Casino Royale, and we discuss the perils of being hit in the groin. He also reviews The Amulet of Vichalace by Zoe Stead

We also review Buffy issue 5(spoiler free) and the new Babylon 5 DVD: The Lost Tales.

For our main feature we take a rocket trip (unlike the show) to Mongo for our first review of the new Flash Gordon TV show.

Enjoy...or we'll release the bore worms!

Warren and Steven tear into what was definitely the lowlight of the season, Daleks in Manhattan, which had all the potential for greatness but failed to live up to its promise every step of the way. At least it gave us ample ammunition for slagging during our commentary, which we did with great relish and abandon. We also cover bits and pieces of news, including the as of yet unconfirmed (but oh so tasty) rumour that Ben Kingsley might play Davros in Season 4.

Well, in a very short episode, for us, we round up our little chat with Iz our listener of the month as we chat about her views on comic cons and bringing others into the world of Geekdom and her thoughts on Nugecake!!!

Even though the episode finishes after about 30 minutes keep listening for some unedited behind the scenes stuff (I know it's like an audio geek syndicate special edition) with special guest Iz's husband rich aka Bluemeanie(be warned not one for the kids this episode).

We figured it might be fun to show what happens after we stop recording and what can go wrong trying to put the show together.

Either way we hope you enjoy!!!

"Doctor Who companions just can't help acting on Impulse." Topics up for discussion in the second and final part of our our special, last ever commentary - we really mean it this time - podcast include: Mr La Di Da Russell T Davies, response times of the pensioner abuse hotline, bespoke Toclafane furniture, Thal Hollyoaks, Martha's Target Novelisation Rendition Tour of the World, Boe's Hos and Homos and the death of subtlety.

One of our favorites from Season Three goes under the microscope as Warren and Steven subject "Gridlock" to their witty, nay brilliant commentary. We also veered off into a few other topics off the top, including "Life on Mars" (which Warren is watching and quite enjoying, thank you very much) and the differences between the look of British and American TV. Fore more detail on that subject, check out the discussion on Metafilter, found here: http://ask.metafilter.com/63462/Why-do-British-television-programs-look-different-than-American-programs Next week, expect some venomous bile as we watch and comment upon "Daleks in Manhattan," one of the lowlights of the season.
