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.

December 19, 2019 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.

November 06, 2019 Something Who: Blu-ray Giveaway
Due to a staggering piece of incompetence, I have 2 copies of the Doctor Who The Collection Season 23 Blu-Ray Set (UK version) and only room for 1 on my nonexistent shelf. This means I have 1 to give away to a Something Who listener who can answer a couple of questions.

October 22, 2019 Episode 5.5/A: Andrew Ireland
It's the second special episode in a week celebrating the release of the University of Central Lancashire's recreation of Mission to the Unknown.After last week's episode https://somethingwho.podbean.com/e/episode-55-transmission-of-the-unknown/, in which Paul, Tim, Richard and Jac Rayner gushed over the YouTube release of the reborn Mission to the Unknown, we were contacted by the creative force behind the project - Andrew Ireland. Andrew joins Richard this week to discuss the project from its origins, through its realisation and release to possible future plans. It's a fascinating listen, if not quite 17 times as long as the YouTube "Making Of" as Jac requested.If you haven't yet caught up with the Mission to the Unknown remake, it can be found here: https://youtu.be/NW8yk-m5Ig8

October 05, 2019 Episode 5: Bullseye or a Load of Old Bull?
After a visit to a podcast studio that's not quite right, Giles, Paul and Richard discuss two stories with half man, half bull creatures - The Horns of Nimon and The God Complex. It's a treat for Richard, as it's the first time he's ever seen Horns, almost 40 years after he unaccountably failed to watch its broadcast. As well as determining that there's a lot more in common between these stories than you'd think, the team manage to discuss faith, Brexit (again) and Animal Kwackers.
