Podcast about Classic Sci-fi, that's Sci-Fi 25 years old or older and Reboots/remakes there of. Subject this Month. The Time Machine.

Following some misleading comments and some downright lies about the NHS in the American media, I've decided to respond with this podcast. Don't worry Doctor Who fans, there is some Who content.

Many a broadcasting intrigue formed the backbone of Whoish news this week, from BBC America's machinations to...BBC Wordwide's transgressions. The Three Who Rule also engaged in Socratic debate over the claims of Rona Munro, the scribe behind Survival, that romance in nuWho constitutes lazy writing. All that and another exciting Miniscope (part two of three) examining the glory years of one Robert Holmes as he ascended to script writer and Doctor Who demigod. Check out the show notes at www.radiofreeskaro.com.

Ha! After a brief dry spell, you thought this rookie podcast didn't have the staying power to last more than two episodes. But you were wrong, buster.

Last time on the Cloister Room, Tom promised a discussion of Star Wars. This week, he deviates from his plans but still fulfills the promise by talking about canonical issues in Star Wars. Also included is a defense of canon in Doctor Who. All this and also the Dune Quote of the Week in the third exciting episode of this rookie podcast.

The Three Who Rule covered the gamut of Whoish happenings this week, from the shocking revelation that Meglos will return for David Tennant's finale (unconfirmed) to Ian Levine's rather tenuous grasp on the the fundamental underpinnings of the internet (hint: don't fear the link.) And amongst this madness was revealed the Miniscope, a new weekly feature examining a writer, producer or other behind the scenes chieftain whose drive and talent brought us the Classic Who episodes we love so dearly. Up first is Robert Holmes, or at the very least his contribution to the ouvres of Mr. Troughton and Mr. Pertwee. Enjoy, dear listeners.

When filming for the Matt Smith 2010 series of Doctor Who began, we were treated to the first pictures of the Eleventh Doctor in costume and in character, as well as our first look at the new companion and a newly regenerated Tardis exterior. Without mentioning plot spoilers, we discuss the fandom's reaction to these and speculate about what they mean.

We also look at the surprising news that series 5 will be produced and marketed as 'Series 1'.

Our guest panellist is Erik, previously heard on our Radio Free Skaro Wednesday Cutaway 'Pilot', who can be found on Twitter as @sjcaustenite.

Discussion

We have a plot-spoiler-free but speculation-filled discussion about the first location pictures:

@ 31 minutes - The Eleventh Doctor's costume

@ 50 minutes - Amy Pond's name and costume

@ 58 minutes - The revamped or 'reset' Tardis Exterior

And then:

@ 1 hour 8 minutes - We look at the fan reaction to news from the pages of Doctor Who Magazine that the 2010 series will be marketed as 'Series 1'.

Next Time

@ 1 hour 13 minutes - Episode 3 will be a Trock special, as this week marks the first anniversary of the 'founding' of the Time Lord Rock genre.

Trocking Out

@ 1 hour 14 minutes - We play out with the first self-described trock song, An Awful Lot Of Running by Chameleon Circuit, which is on their self-titled debut album available on CD from DFTBA records and to download from Amazon MP3 and iTunes.

Thanks to Chameleon Circuit and DFTBA records for kind permission to use this track.

Welcome one and all to Episode 5 of Small Press Big Mouth during which we subject you to such wonders as, actual bona fide NEWS! As well as reviews of MoonFreight3, The Dark, The Sword, Fat Chunk:Zombies, Post Nuke and Fools Errand.

We hope you enjoy the ride as we had a blast doing this one!
