The Miniscope returns to Radio Free Skaro this week, but with a twist. Instead of the subject being chosen randomly, musician Peter Howell's work was specifically chosen for discussion, and instead of a discussion, why not interview the man himself? So, in tandem with Dr. Phillip Serna of Adventures in Time, Space, and Music, Steven got to talk to one of his early musical heroes about his many varied scores for Doctor Who from 1980-1985. Also, news and many fact corrections from the week before. What fun!

P.S Stargate fans tune into Stargate Universe season 2.5.

This week's episode is so "bowtie". We have feedback from Traveling the Vortex's (self-proclaimed) Number One Fan. Do you agree?

Also, reaction to two recent casting announcements for Torchwood: Miracle Day, here's a hint to one, "Who you gonna call?"

And in this week's Adversary Archive, we're talking about three stories involving the Doctor's number one enemy... The Daleks. A review of The Daleks, The Daleks Invasion of Earth, and Dalek.

Plus, a report from Draculasaurus, who visited this year's Doctor Who convention – Gallifrey One’s Catch 22: Islands of Mystery.

This week, we celebrate our 40th episode in style, by cocking it up big time. The 1st 12 minutes are recorded in the iMac's internal mic, so it sounds like we're in a toilet. Sorry and that. Never fear, as we soon sort out the technicals and get stuck in to the story selected for this week from Barry Manilow's bag. The truly wonderful "City of Death".

Compo entries to pharos.project@yahoo.co.uk please. You have 2 weeks (or episode 42, whichever comes 1st) to get them in.

The term "Classic Doctor Who" came in for some criticism last week from Doctor Who personalities such as current and former editors of Doctor Who Magazine. Is it so wrong to draw a distinction between 1963-1989-plus-1996 and 2005-2011?

The world is ending and Scott and Matt are really enjoying the Christopher Eccleston series one episode “The End of the World”. The Doctor takes his new companion Rose Tyler on her first trip in the TARDIS. They end up billions of years in the future on a space station that is bearing witness to the destruction of Earth. How did Scott begin watching the new Doctor Who series? What do they think about everyone’s favorite companion Rose Tyler? What about the episode itself? Find out in the newest episode of The Doctor’s Companion. And remember, BEWARE OF SPOILERS!

Next Week: David Tennant and “Smith and Jones”!!
