We shared a long, hot summer with Doctor Who, and we couldn't think of a better way to close it out than getting our TARDIS on at the 2024 Long Island Who convention! Blessedly, we were able to interview several people involved with the show — both actors and people behind the scenes — and we coaxed some original thoughts out of them. We also got a peek into what the future holds for the Toymaker, which was news to us. Please enjoy this XXL episode of Pull To Open, packed full of interesting thoughts, observations, and experiences about Doctor Who by the people who make it.

LIVE from Long Island Who 60 on August 19, 2023! We had the pleasure of entertaining a fantastic live audience by interviewing none other than actor/author Michael Troughton! We discussed his career so far, visiting the Doctor Who set 3 times as a child, his time as a physics teacher, and yes, even some animal impressions. Then we switch gears as Michael presents his Pick of the Month, the legendary Rowan Atkinson BBC comedy classic, Blackadder! How did we all discover this show? Which quote from the show does Michael use in real life? What was it like attending a live taping with Rowan Atkinson? All this and more! Special thanks to Michael Troughton, Ken Deep, Billy & Steven Davis, Kyle Williamson, and all the good people at L.I.

It's a slow week for Doctor Who news but that won't stop the Three Who Rule from prattling on about Gallifrey One and Long Island Who updates, an upcoming book about Doctor Who story editor and writer David Whitaker by one Simon Guerrier, and a deep dive into both forgotten and unused Doctor Who story titles of days gone by and the extensive writing career of one Ingrid Pitt!

Various parts of the world seem to be opening up, emerging from our long pandemic slumber, and the World of Who is no different, with Long Island Who and Chicago TARDIS selling passes to their November conventions, the BFI holding Doctor Who screening events, and BBC America canvassing questions from the Who-polloi to ask the cast of Series 13, currently nearing the end of production. Also, we have possibly the best episode of Torchwood Series One as we join the timey-wimey, Cardiffy-Wardiffy adventures of “Captain Jack Harkness” in our Torchwood Revisited commentaries!

Normality may be crawling back into our disease-ridden lives as Whooverville 12 (in Derby) and Long Island Who (in the form of Time-Flight 2021) announce in-person events in September and November, and if you wanted every Doctor to appear in an interactive theatrical piece named Time Fracture, now you can! But if you’ve been pining for Captan Jack Harkness in the same, no such luck.

Enjoy! www.hockeyfeels.com Twitter: @HockeyFeels Tumblr: hockeyfeels.tumblr.com Email: hockeyfeels@gmail.com
Goodbye England, and hello New York! Long Island, to be precise, the home of Long Island Who and the setting of this episode of Radio Free Skaro. Steven, Warren, and Chris took in “Sleep No More,” Mark Gattis’s found footage exploration of sleep deprivation and eye gunk, and then leapt to the stage in front of a live audience to give ill informed opinions and generally ponce about! (Note: there is a slight buzz for the first six minutes of the recording, but it disappears after that.) Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
Warren, Steven and Erika are winding down their UK journey, but they’re still wandering around London, Derby, Cardiff and elsewhere with stunned looks in their eyes and swelling love for Albion in their hearts. Meanwhile, "The Zygon Inversion" has graced our screens, and the Three Who Rule have some things to say about it, and the much talked about performance of one Peter Capaldi! Plus news, and an interview with current Doctor Who production designer Michael Pickwoad! Next week, Long Island Who, live (ish) from NYC (ish)! Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
This week we discuss another Peter Harness nail biter or, depending on which Verity is on the mic, that meh episode with Osgood. (Maybe one of us has shapeshifted!) Join Deb, Kat, Lynne, and Tansy as we parse refugee metaphor, fangirls leveling up, and underpants. It's that sort of episode. And we miss Erika, who is jaunting around the UK, just a little. What did you think of "The Zygon Invasion"? Was it too heavy-handed or just a good invasion story? Have we had enough of The Hybrid talk? Is sometimes a cigar just a cigar? Let us know what you think in the comments! ^D Also covered [links on our site]: Kat enjoyed seeing the Doctor Who/Welcome to Nightvale crossover! Tansy has jumped back on the Big Finish wagon with Counter-Measures! is looking forward to sharing "The Underwater Menace" with her 6 y.o. Second Doctor Fangirl! Lynne is SUPER EXCITED to get a Photo/Autograph with Alex Kingston at Chicago TARDIS. And has already selected shoes Worthy Of River Song! Deb loved the new 8th Doctor Comic written by George Mann and drawn by Emma Vieceli! is looking forward to Long Island Who and interviewing Camille Codori, Noel Clarke and Katy Manning. And invites listeners to send in questions!

Note - the 12th Doctor uses a bit of NSFW language.)
Conventions and clips dominate the news, with events in Germany, Australia and of course goings on concerning the upcoming Long Island Who, but also a look back at the New Adventures era through the fine folk at Myth Makers and a very...old-fashioned look through newsreel footage at the wedding of Jon Pertwee. The Man Himself is also the subject of a recently unearthed (and Youtubed) documentary, not to mention the focus of much praise from current TARDIS resident Peter Capaldi, who praises Three in an interview with Christel Dee on the Doctor Who Fan Show. All mere prelude to the return of Fluid Links, where we answer your questions about the program, no matter how silly or sublime! Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
Like a bolt from the blue came the first set of Gallifrey One guest announcements, including one Peter Davison, the Fifth Doctor but the first in our hearts (for this year, at any rate.) But lo, across the pond there was news of the Doctor Who Festival, to be held the same weekend in November as Long Island Who! Confused? The news is just the beginning of your confoundining (not a word) as the RFS crew and Nancy Alegria of The Happiness Patrol go into the woods for their "In the Forest of the Night" commentary! Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
And with that, Series 8 of Doctor Who is over! After a radical turn towards darkness and drama it all came together with “Death in Heaven,” the final episode of the series and the P-Capstone on the 12th Doctor’s inaugural year. From the machinations of Missy (AKA The Master) to the glorious fake-out of Jenna Coleman as the Doctor in the opening titles all the way to…well, there’s some Cyber-shenanigans which the Three Who Rule cover in great detail. And as a bonus, we have an Long Island Who report from The Memory Cheats and Doctor Who: Mostly Harmless Cutaway co-host (and all around fine gent) Josh Zimon! Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
The penultimate episode of Series 8 is upon us, with Cybermen, the afterlife, and Missy, who is revealed as….well, you should certainly watch “Dark Water” (penned by Steven Moffat and directed by Rachel Talalay) before listening to the Three Who Rule expound upon the contents therein, or risk a mega-spoiler of cataclysmic magnitude. Have you watched? Good. Then enjoy our banter on the excellent direction, subtle performances, and the sometimes….excited reaction of certain segments of fandom when a beloved character takes a a sharp right turn into a different form. Next week, the finale, "Death in Heaven", and news from Long Island Who! Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
Steven Moffat is often praised for his ability to take perfectly normal everyday things and make them terrifying, but Doctor Who has a long history of such antics. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we chat about lots of mundane items we now give the side-eye, thanks to our beloved show. From angels to dolls to plastic policemen to telephones, the world is a scary place. Thanks Doctor Who! And in a strange bit of synchronicity, Deb tries to remember the title of a book she read as a youngster. After recording, she looked it up and discovered it was Mutant 59: The Plastic Eaters, by Kit Pedlar and Gerry Davis--the creators of her beloved Cybermen! Last, but certainly not least, we do our first Verity! giveaway, courtesy of Paul Cornell! Leave us a comment [on our website] to enter to win a signed copy of The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who! (We'll contact you via the email address used to leave the comment, so make sure it's a legit addy.) ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Lynne is grateful for the amazing support from her Doctor Who fandom friends as she and Michael spent time in the hospital with Caitlin Kat fangirls over Doctor Who Classics, Volume 9 from IDW, a nifty DW comic about a library planet! Erika is finally moving to Canada, and on the way she and her mom (aka Fangirl Prime) will be listening to Doctor Who audios including The Daleks' Master Plan"! Deb is thrilled Paul McGann will be at Long Island Who!
"The Web of Fear," the second of the long-lost Patrick Troughton stories to be recently rediscovered: is it a directorial masterpiece, a writing misfire, or both? Recorded at Long Island Who.
The Doctor and his companions aren't the only ones who've been around for 50 years this month. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we detour into the realm of villainy and discuss the dreaded Daleks! Dalekmania hit hard in the 60s, inspiring toys, films, more toys, and even a song! Listen in as we Verities talk about all these things and more. Which stories are the most definitive Dalek stories? Which are our favorites? Are the Dalek movies worth checking out? "Tune in" and see! ^E Also covered [links on our site]:Lynne is excited An Adventure in Space and Time has a US airdate!
