Something Who

Episode 129: A Devil of a Wait

Barely two months after we posted part 1 of this chat, we return to the moment when, thanks to the fantastic people behind Film Is Fabulous, the four Something Who panellists sat down to watch Episodes 1 & 3 of The Daleks' Masterplan at various times and in various places over the Easter weekend.

In a companion piece to our Episode 125, when we watched these episodes as photo and soundtrack reconstructions, Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for a discussion about the experience of now watching the moving pictures. What have we learned that we didn't already know from the soundtracks, clips, photos and camera scripts? What did we enjoy most about the experience of viewing these episodes for the very first time?

This podcast episode covers Devil's, episode 3 and aspects of Day of Armageddon, episode 2. We'll be back soon with our thoughts on other episodes of The Daleks' Masterplan.

Richard's other podcast "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" is currently on hiatus, but it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better. https://open.spotify.com/show/4c8RB62kyKkfMPixhM7MmG.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

Episode 127: Chekhov's Scream

Not only is it not St Patrick's Day; it's not even March. But it was. And in a loose tie-in, we picked the two missing Patrick Troughton episodes that aired closest to March 17th. Following our discussion last time about The Macra Terror episode 2, Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard to chat about Fury From The Deep episode 1. We try to unravel some enduring mysteries, but most can only be answered if we ever get to see it.

It's St Patrick's Day. Well, it was. And in a loose tie-in, we've picked the two missing Patrick Troughton episodes that aired closest to March 17th. In this podcast episode we'll be talking about The Macra Terror Episode 2.

Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for a discussion (eventually) about the episode itself to try to unravel some enduring mysteries. Next time we'll be discussing Fury From The Deep episode 1.

Episode 125: The Nightmare Is Over

Well, how about that? Episodes 1 & 3 of The Daleks' Masterplan have been found and will be released on the BBC iPlayer at Easter.

In the meantime, Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for a discussion about the episodes themselves. What do we already know from the soundtracks, clips, photos and camera scripts? What about the newly recovered clips we've been shown? What should we be looking out for?

We'll be back after the episodes have been released to discuss how closely they mirrored our expectations and what's completely new.

Episode 124: Quite Daunted, Eh?

It's the second half of a chat about a pairing of stories suggested by Gav: last time the two part 6th Doctor story Timelash from Season 22, which we paired this time with 9th Doctor outing The Unquiet Dead from Series 1. We'll decide whether watching them was a gas, or just let us feeling aghast. Joining Richard for the discussion are Gav, Giles and Paul.

Episode 122: Floored Genius

Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for the second half of our discussion about some actual missing episodes. In this moment of Film is Fabulous getting close to some missing episodes which still exist in film collections, Gav had the idea of each of us picking two standalone missing episodes to try to unravel some enduring mysteries. Originally there weren't going to be any Dalek episodes, but Gav and Richard forgot that part of the brief.

In this half of the discussion we look at The Massacre episode 4, The Celestial Toymaker episode 3, The Power of the Daleks episode 4 and The Highlanders Episode 3.

Episode 121: Missing Episodes - Mmm... Power

Marco, Myth Makers, Masterplan, Power. It's the Omnirumour all over again!

Well, not quite. Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for a discussion about the episodes themselves. In this moment of Film is Fabulous talking about standalone episodes existing in film collections, Gav had the idea of each of us picking two standalone missing episodes to try to unravel some enduring mysteries. Originally there weren't going to be any Dalek episodes, but Gav and Richard forgot that part of the brief.

Episode 120: The Mistaken Prometheus

This pairing of stories linked to Mary Shelley's horror story Frankenstein was Richard's idea: in the last episode we looked at the four part 4th Doctor story from early 1976 and Season 13 - The Brain of Morbius, which we've paired this time with 2020's 13th Doctor outing The Haunting of Villa Diodati from Series 12. We'll decide whether these stories have animated us like a bolt of lightning or left us feeling like mouldering corpses. Joining Richard for the discussion are Gav, Giles and Paul.

We recorded this episode in August; the first part came out in September and this part has taken until November; sorry for the wait.
