Joe & Mark; heading down the impeller shaft! Why the hell did Derrick Sherwin piss so many people off? What do we think of the animation? How do the domestic scenes work in Doctor Who?

Joe & Steven; you…you….men! We talk maverick Derrick Sherwin, and what season seven might have looked like if he had stuck around. Would there have been more comedy? Birthing the Cybermen? Doctor Who all on film?

This week Phil and not so much Paul sit on their chairs with their feet up off the floor in terror to look at episode 4 of Doctor Who, Arachnids in the UK. So after 3 pretty solid episodes, does this story make it 4 out of 4 for our reviewing duo or does it get flushed down the sink like all spiders should (according to Phil that is)? And in the news this week we say goodbye to ex Doctor Who producer Derrick Sherwin, there's stats in Omega's Stats Corner and there is tat of the sweetie kind in Omega's Tat Corner that causes Phil and Paul to become confused.

The Doctor and her fam…errr, TARDIS Team land back in Sheffield and smack dab into spiders, ethically dubious American businessmen and RTD-level family drama in “Arachnids in the UK”, the latest instalment of the eleventh series of Doctor Who. Will the quintessentially Whovian juxtaposition of the domestic with the deeply weird engage the Three Who Rule, or will arachnophobia turn to eight-legged tedium? You won’t know until you listen! Also, stats. Harrumph.

So begins another era in the wildly unpredictable history of Doctor Who. The departure of Patrick Troughton and his co-stars at the close of the sixth season added additional uncertainty to the direction (or entire future) of the show. Producers, writers, and script editors including the legendary Terrance Dicks and Derrick Sherwin set out to redefine the television programme, breathing new life with new filming techniques, supporting cast, theme and tone, and the casting of a lead actor who could carry the demands of affability, action, […]

There are a litany of reasons why Doctor Who script editor and producer Derrick Sherwin was greeted at the Long Island Doctor Who convention last November as the event’s Guest of Honor. He was responsible for the addition of U.N.I.T. to the program during the Patrick Troughton era, as well as the introduction of the sonic screwdriver. He was pivotal in the selection of Troughton’s successor, the action-ready and audience-charming Jon Pertwee. And he was adept at balancing the need […]

In our final podcast for the year of 2014 we finish our first year of podcasting with part 1 of a two part podcast. Part One: We discuss the Doctor Who and Big Finish news from December till early January.  We look at the Doctor Who, UNIT and Derrick Sherwin unhappiness, as Liam relates his Whoverville Interview and the DWM interview (DWM #479, p. 54-60). Then a quick discussion of The British Film Institute survey of the Best Sci-Fi characters of all-time, and the DW related names.  We then finish off with some of the new Big Finish announcement regarding future releases. Once we get to the reviews, we look at the 2014 releases for Big Finish: The Rani Elite (MR #194), An Ordinary Life (EA. #1.4), The Highest Science (Novel Adaption #2), Blake's 7 Fortuitas (2.2), Survivors Audio Book, The Judgement of Sherlock Holmes (Box Set 4).  We then finish off with Doctor Who TV series Christmas Special "Last Christmas." During our discussion we rant, complain, and have an odd discussion regarding what Anglophiles do to Brits in their American neighborhood.  References to the Inbetweeners 2 movie, Misfits, and other fun stuff are intertwined in this joyous romp of a podcast   Contact us: Twitter: @alhambrapodcas Email: alhambraaudio@gmail.com

Will someone just rename this the “Pointless Speculation about Star Wars Episode VII Podcast” already? After listening to the opening of this week’s Radio Free Skaro, they might! The Three Who Rule did eventually bring the latest Doctor Who news to the table, along with an interview with writer, script editor and classic series producer Derrick Sherwin, but (mostly due to Warren, as usual) there were many digressions, including unrestrained bile for new Terminator films, studious avoidance of discussion of a certain naughty parody film, and the aforementioned Sturm Und Drang about a certain movie with laser swords coming Xmas 2015. Next week, the return of Fluid Links! Submit your ideas on Twitter using hashtag #FluidLinks and we may just draw it for discussion!   Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com

Contents [] // if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = "show"; var tocHideText = "hide"; showTocToggle(); } // [] Plot [] Synopsis On an alien planet the Doctor uncovers a diabolic plot to conquer the universe, with brainwashed soldiers abducted from Earth forced to fight in simulated environments, reflecting the periods in history from whence they were taken. The alien's aim is to produce a super army from the survivors, to this end they have been aided by a renegade from the Doctor's own race the 'Time Lords'. Joining forces with rebel soldiers, who have broken their conditioning, the Doctor and his companions foil the plan and stop the fighting. But the Doctor admits he needs the help of the Time Lords to return the soldiers to their own times, but in asking risks capture for his own past crimes including the theft of the TARDIS. After sending the message he and his companions attempt to evade capture, but are caught. Having returned the soldiers to Earth, the Time Lords erase Zoe and Jamie's memories of travelling with the Doctor, and return them to the point in time just before they entered the TARDIS. They then place the Doctor on trial for stealing the TARDIS and breaking the rule of non-interference. The Doctor presents a spirited defence citing his many battles against the evils of the universe. Accepting this defence the Time Lords announce his punishment is exile to Earth. In addition the operation of the TARDIS is wiped from his memory and his next is imposed. [] Continuity Patrick Troughton later reprised the role of the Second Doctor in , and . In the second of these, he expresses knowledge of events of the final episode of this serial, on the face of it a chronological impossibility, and in the last he is on an assignment for the Time Lords, which is incompatible with the events seen here. These facts gave rise to the theory, enabled by the aforementioned lack of on-screen depiction of the regeneration.The again faces trial in , the beginning of which refers to this previous trial.The time machines designed by the War Chief and used by the War Lords are called SIDRATs, an inversion of the name TARDIS. Though this name is used only once, and then merely in passing, on-screen during the serial (and pronounced "side-rat"), the expanded acronym is revealed to stand for "Space and Inter-Dimensional Robot All-purpose Transporter" in the 1979 novelisation by . It is repeated in the novel by Terrance Dicks, which forms a sequel to The War Games.The Second Doctor's appearance in Terrance Dicks' BBC Books novel, , occurs during this story. [] Firsts For the first time, this serial names the Doctor's race as the "Time Lords". Although his home planet () is seen, it would not be referenced by name until (1973). His reasons for leaving Gallifrey, and the fact that he stole the TARDIS, are also revealed.Aside from the Doctor and , the War Chief is the second person of the Doctor's race (after the ) to appear in the television series.Again the concept of is presented but not named in this serial, following /. The process was eventually named in , then retrospectively attributed to the earlier two changes of actors — first by series fans, then later by the early-'80s production team in . Until that point, there was some fan controversy over whether the Second Doctor had actually regenerated or merely had his appearance changed.While Troughton's Doctor is sentenced to a forced regeneration at the end of this serial, we do not actually see him regenerate into the (who first appears — briefly wearing the Troughton costume — in the next serial, ). The only other Doctor not to receive an on-screen regeneration is the , who has already regenerated into the at the start of the 2005 series.In the first Episode, the Second Doctor kisses Zoe. This display of platonic affection is the first time that the Doctor kisses one of his companions, though as the series went on it would be far from the last. [] Lasts In the final episode, the Time Lords wipe Zoe's mind and return her to the Wheel, where she encounters Tanya Lernov, a character from . A set from The Wheel in Space was rebuilt and actress (Tanya) rehired for this one scene. The audio drama shows an older Zoe having detailed dreams of her adventures with the Doctor, suspecting that something is blocking her memory, and seeing a psychiatric counsellor in an effort to understand the "dreams".This marks the last appearance of the TARDIS Control Room until in 1971, though the removed TARDIS console would be seen in the Doctor's headquarters laboratory in , and in a hut on the grounds of the titular project in .Episode 10 is the last episode of the original series to be produced in black and white.
