Something Who

Episode 15: Cyber Heads or Tales

Richard, Giles and Simon review the latest episode of Doctor Who - Ascension of the Cybermen. It's back to Chibbers for this one, with all the good and bad that entails. Inevitably we touch on Big Finish, plotting, character development and where is this season heading to? Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and the closing music is possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme from Richard on ukulele and kazoo.

Episode 14: Scary Mary

Guess what? It's the return of Paul, fresh from his recent sojourn in LA, who joins Simon, Giles and Richard to review the latest episode of Doctor Who - The Haunting of Villa Diodati. Everyone loves Maxine Alderton's first entry to the canon and while we wonder how it took Chris Chibnall so long to find a script like this, we detour into Latin and Greek and, of course, Big Finish. It's our longest short episode by some distance!

Episode 13: Deus In Machina

Richard, Giles and Simon return with Something Who Episode 13. After a couple of shorter podcasts, it's back to our classic format as we review the latest episode of Doctor Who - Can You Hear Me? - twinned with a classic story, The Crusade. There's a lot of positivity about. Simon also prompts a discussion about what makes a historical story and we discuss some of our favourites. There's also time for a quick encounter with Shakespeare and David Whitaker.

Episode 12: Dys-Praxeus

Simon and Giles are back with Richard for a quick chat about the latest Doctor Who story, Praxeus. It's fair to say that opinions were mixed, but we still had some fun with it.

Episode 11: Dr Ruth

Simon and Giles are back with Richard for a brief chat about this week's extraordinary episode, Fugitive of the Judoon, and to engage in the same lurid speculation as every other group of Doctor Who fans the world over.

Making a modest virtue of our relative tardiness, we were able to chew over Chris Chibnall's comments as reported in the UK Mirror.

Episode 10: Sparky

Giles and Simon are back with Richard to chat about Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror and The Horror of Fang Rock, two stories set in the Edwardian era and with an electrical bent. And somewhere in the middle, fans of Doctor Who's missing episodes should listen for an outbreak of Omnihumour.

Episode 9: Masterful

It' our first episode of the New Year and it's a bumper review of Spyfall Parts 1 and 2, the latest adventure for the 13th Doctor, alongside Claws of Axos, 3rd Doctor story from 1971.

Join Richard, Paul, Giles and Simon as we have some fun looking for links between these stories and discussing the first new Doctor Who (remakes of Missing Episodes aside) for a year. As ever there's a sketch, but this time it's in the middle.

Episode 8: Down Under

Strewth! It's Something Who's Australian episode and after Richard shows off his truly astonishing Aussie accent in landing the part of Anton, he's joined by Kieran and Mike to talk about two stories that are set in Australia - Enemy of the World and The Pilot.

We attempt to situate Enemy on the Australian continent, discuss its many and varied accents and how well Kent doubles for a Western Australian beach. We also chat about The Pilot's brief sojourn in a Sydney bar, as well as a more lengthy general look at the Series 10 opener.

So grab your tinnies, take a prawn off the barbie and settle down to a discussion about Doctor Who's second home.

Episode 7: 2019 Highlights

We're back with some of the best bits from the first year of Something Who, including our discussion of Mission To The Unknown, with guest contributors Jac Rayner and Andrew Ireland, sketches, analysis, silliness and, above all, enthusiasm for Doctor Who.
