Whovians are no strangers to odd pairings of characters or having seemingly random things previously mentioned in passing become major plot points. The Paternoster Gang are no exception. Dropped in to an already massive cast of characters in “A Good … Continue reading →

This episode finds Matthew Kresal and Mary Lang reviewing two stories from the Eighth Doctor Adventures range which tie into that Doctor's most recent on screen appearance in Night Of The Doctor in the form of Sisters Of The Flame and The Vengeance Of Morbius. Topics discussed include the merits of doing a story across what seems to be two different releases, the character of Lucie Miller, the cliffhangers from both stories and more.

In this weeks show it's part two of the lads commentary for Castrovalva, episodes 3 and 4.  Yes, as this was recorded last week, the trio bravely continue in the sweltering London heat, drinking wine and talking nonsense as usual.  However, it appears that the heat gets to Phil as he completely misses the point of the Shardovan and becomes attached to a Scotsman.

And in a hastily inserted news section, another series 8 trailer, Philip Morris and the ongoing talk of missing episodes, news on the Deep Breath DVD release in North America, the enormous DVD/Blu-ray 50th Anniversary boxset and the DWAS honour Verity Lambert.

With San Diego Comic Con’s annual media megashow winding down, Radio Free Skaro brought in a Special Report from Nerdist editor and all around fine fellow Kyle Anderson as our man on the scene to let us know about the Big! Who! News! almost live from the source. Well, it turns out there hasn’t been very much news to speak of Who-wise, with the BBC likely focusing their energies on launching their world tour, and….showing us a new 15 second trailer. And……showing the premiere in cinemas worldwide! Holy cats! Despite the dearth of SDCC news, rest assured our list is chockablock full of items of interest, and as if that weren’t enough, we also have the last Fluid Links for quite some time! Madness!

 

Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com

 

Po no Sto fro mo fo zo mo fo bo jo fo do wo.  Oh, sorry.  Don't speak Judoon?  We don't either.  I think we said "The Police. Not Sting from MTV fame, Zenyatta Mondatta, from Brittan.  Judoon from Doctor Who."  Or something like that.  But, yes, this week it's all about the Judoon!  Well, mostly about the Judoon.  OK, we try really hard to talk about the Judoon, but the rabbits seem to keep distracting us.

“It’s a wonderful idea. The Doctor stops running is a wonderful idea.”

In which we wonder why daleks can’t shoot straight, bring Christmas to July, invent new kinds of cybermen & experiment with Scottish accents.

Reviews: The Time of the Doctor
Air Date: 25th December 2013
Song: “It’s Time (of the Doctor)” based on “It’s Time” by Imagine Dragons
Additional notes: This was the first time we had recorded together for 6 months. It was so lovely to all be in the same room again and we had a cracking time. Laura’s impression of Handles was so funny that we kept spoiling the take by laughing over the top of her recording. We are professionals.

This episode, Brendan, Richard and Nathan tackle the difficult subjects of ants and fraternity as they discuss three ant-astic stories from the middle of Doctor Who’s second season: The Romans, The Web Planet and The Crusade.

The Doctor is Dobbying it up, Martha is on a mission and the Master has apparently become a wife beater. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy Last of the Time Lords...
