The TARDIS is in Glasgow this week as both the King and Queen of England opened the Commonwealth Games and Sylvester McCoy (in costume and adorned with a traffic cone) calls out all the Scottish Doctors by name, as is his right), and in February of next year both Carole Ann Ford and Anita Dobson will be in Los Angeles for Gallifrey One! Also, we discuss the future of Doctor Who alongside a new DWM article, Dugga Doo action dolly madness, a strange digression into the work of Giorgio Moroder, and is The War Between The Land and the Sea coming to Disney+ in January?

Radio Free Skaro #1076 - The Ceefax Initiative

The UK is awash in televisual Mrrahhh Business this week as Sky is set to purchase ITV for $2.13 billion and what better "experts" to weigh in on the subject than three Canadians with a passing familiarity with the industry? Plus a surfeit of Troughton-era goodness in the form of a massive production diary of the era by author David Brunt and a Doctor Who: Legends special featuring Ol' Two himself. We also have blatant foreign election interference as we endorse Count Binface and poorly explain what Ceefax is to the younger generations who do not in any way care!
