Radio Free Skaro #1042 - Will You Still Need Me?

Happy Doctor Who Day, everyone! The Three Who Rule celebrate the 62nd birthday for our favourite television show as only Doctor Who fans can, by morosely speculating on the show's increasingly grim prospects in light of an ever-changing media landscape. Fun! Plus we look into Rachel Talalay's and Dalek 63-88's latest lovely Youtube videos, the newly released schedule for Surf and Turf, audio fun with The Wheel in Space on vinyl and various Big Finish bits and bobs, and Day Three of our Torchwood: Children of Earth retrospecticus!
