After the “incident” with Chris on Friday that resulted in no podcast being released for the first official day of Gallifrey 21, Radio Free Skaro returned today in full force with interviews with Nick Briggs, Phil Ford, and Rob Shearman. Listen to these three fine gentlemen regale you with tales of woe, whimsy, and water – not necessarily in that order. NOTE: Chris’s appearance on this podcast is purely due to contractual obligation. We cannot comment on any rumours that have been circulating about Chris’s future on Radio Free Skaro.

In our dozenth episode, we examine the merits of the new BBC trailer, including a deep analysis of whether or not Matt Smith will indeed be sticking his tongue down Karen Gillan's throat.

Then, to commemorate the release of our 12th episode, we review "The Sea Devils," which just happens to have 12 letters in it, a fact which had nothing to do with our choosing of the episode but has everything to do with needing filler for the show notes.

Finally, we read (and respond) to some tactful, but nevertheless critical, feedback from one of the show's loyal listeners and talk a bit about Gallifrey 2010...speaking if which, be prepared for our complete review of Galley in Episode 13!

Please send hate mail, circus animals, and belated Valentine's Day regards to tardistavern@gmail.com.  Do it now, while you're happy and drunk at the LAX Marriott.

Special acknowledgment goes to Eaglestriker (from whomix.trilete.net) for the Last of the Timelords MkII mix at the end of the show.

This time we look at the Sixth Doctor played by The Colin Baker, his time before, during and after taking the role of the iconic Timelord.

If you wish to contact the show either email tdrury2003@yahoo.co.uk mp3 feedback prefered but don't let that put you off I'll get my able assistant to read them out or leave a comment on the website.

In the second of our daily Gallifrey podcasts, the Three Who Rule delved into the shiny, circular world of Who on DVD with special guests Steve Roberts of the Restoration Team and Steve Manfred of the Doctor Who DVD FAQ. Behind the scenes documentaries, animated Who, and the dicey state of the TV Movie ever appearing in North America were only a few of the topics covered by these fine gentlemen. All that and news, special appearances by fellow podcasters, and the usual whimsy you’ve come to expect from us. Enjoy!

Some of this podcest made its way up to The Lobby at the LAX Marriott, where eight podcasters, including a rare appearance from all four members of Tachyon TV, succeeded in firmly planting their feet in their mouths.

David and his son, Marty, discuss Patrick Troughton's last story, sock puppets, personal boundaries, Rita Moreno's hotness, and much much more!  David also discusses the upcoming Gallifrey 21 convention in L.A. and reads listener emails!

This episode is especially dedicated to our North American listeners who have heard of, but have always been reluctant, to listen to Big Finish.

Sean and Steve give their take on "The One Doctor," one of the most popular stories in the Big Finish line, and then review "Iris Wildthyme: The Panda Invasion," Big Finish's hilarious and succesful spin-off of their Doctor Who series (think Timelady + gin and tonics + a stuffed talking panda bear companion).

Surprisingsly, we're proud to announce we have nothing jaded or nasty to say this episode, so please enjoy!  There's also a bit of feedback from a loyal follower and, since we received no emails from listeners wanting Gadget back, we have a new bartender.  Who will it be?  (Here's a hint: Think cotton candy spandex and red hair.)

Next week we finally take a peek at Jon Pertwee in "The Sea Devils."

Where has all the lovely feedback gone?  Please send it to tardistavern@gmail.com, join us and leave a comment on Facebook, and/or leave us some jolly feedback on iTunes!  Do it now, while there's nothing to watch on TV.

Special acknowledgment goes to ZerOsen (from whomix.trilete.net) for the ZerOsen mix at the end of the show.
