A new logo, new location pics, and confirmation that the BBC is indeed going along with the madness of referring to Matt Smith's junior outing as the Doctor as Series 1. The Three Who Rule also engaged in a spirited discussion about the possibility of an international iPlayer, as well as devoted the ever-popular Miniscope to the work of David Maloney, one of Doctor Who's finest visualists and a gentleman director to spare. Allons-y! Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com.

Rumours, rumours and more rumours were grist for the RFS mill this week, as the Three Who Rule speculated on a new, possibly leaked list of Season 5/1/31 writers (and confirmed one or two writers and directors along the way), watching Phil (friend of the show) Ford's reactions to watching Dreamland (very meta) and DVD speculation run amok. All this and a Fiona Cumming Miniscope. Check out the show notes at www.radiofreeskaro.com.

Hmm.. Due to 'Real Life' there's no Big Finish play however,  it appears we managed to waffle a bit this time around, despite only looking at 'Full Circle'! What with a large splodge of Feedback and, of course, the latest enthralling installment of 'As The Action Happens...', The Flashing Blade Podcast is just what you need to go with your Nice Cup Of Tea...

Feedback to show@flashingblade.org.uk and coming up: 'Paper Cuts', 'Blue Forgotton Planet', 'Circular Time', 'State Of Decay' and 'Warriors' Gate'.

In "The Ice Warriors" a band of scientists uncover a Martian during Earth's second ice age, and The Doctor must confront an evil doppelganger in "The Enemy of the World."

This week's Miniscope saw an appearance by Chris Boucher, best known not only for his scripts for Robots of Death, The Face of Evil and Image of the Fendahl, but also for writing for Blake's 7 (acting as script editor for the show from 1978 to 1981) and Star Cops and....his segment consisted of six minutes. The remaining time was filled with the trademarked digressionary banter known and tolerated by RFS fandom, ranging from a list of Gallifrey 2010's many exciting panels to the strange character known as Itchy Spider-man.
