Radio Free Skaro #137 – A Rose By Any Other Name…

With a gulf of unrealistic (and unwelcome) lack of Doctor Who stretching far over the (event) horizon, The Three Who Rule took it upon themselves to deploy their deadliest weapon: the commentary. Specifically, a look at the first series of New Who, starting with Rose. Fantastic!

Radio Free Skaro #134 – The Planet of Michelle Ryan

The Three Who Rule were in fine fettle this week, covering a wide swath of news involving all the exciting goings-on on Torchwood, the Sarah Jane Adventures and even Red Dwarf. Truly, this was a momentous week for fans of British sci-fi adventuring. Truly. No, really.

The Times Interviews David Tennant and Russell T Davies

Until Radio Free Skaro can score a double interview with both David Tennant and Russell T Davies (probably a pub chat podcast at Gallifrey 25, fingers crossed), this will have to do. The Times Online has put out a thorough interview with the two pillars of NuWho, both departing the show in the months to come. Read on! :

Radio Free Skaro interviews VFX genius Dennis Muren

Not strictly Doctor Who this week, but a cool interview all the same. The local chapter of SIGGRAPH (a group of computer graphics geniuses) brought Industrial Light and Magic special effects legend Dennis Muren to Vancouver for Spark 2009, and Warren was able to interview him. Apologies for the dodgy audio during Warren’s questions….the details are too boring to go into, but at any rate Muren’s thoughts on visual effects, art and the motion picture industry are the good stuff.
