Something Who

We welcome Tim to this episode to join his Missing Episodes podcast co-host Paul, plus Gav, Giles and Richard.

After Tim and Paul encounter a real old timer out in deep fandom, we settle down to look at a couple of piratical stories: Season 6's The Space Pirates, featuring the 2nd Doctor and 10th Doctor story Curse of the Black Spot from Series 6.

This episode features the first half of our discussion and so is only about The Space Pirates. Look out for the second half, coming soon.

Here's a compilation of some of the highlights of Something Who from 2021.

It was the year that Gav was persuaded to join the existing team of Richard, Paul and Giles. We have a discussion about the merits of Richard Martin as a director on Doctor Who, Chris Chapman explains how he told the story of Elisabeth Sladen in his documentary "Our Sarah Jane", we chat about The Crimson Horror, including our various meetings with Matthew Sweet, Tim joins us for The Gunfighters, while Gav rants about its historical accuracy, Paul Hayes talks about his book "The Long Game" and we discuss some issues with Mawdryn Undead.

Peruse our back catalogue for the full versions of all of these clips and, if you enjoy them, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or similar platform.

Richard arrives in the Something Who bunker and unfortunately breaks the fourth wall at the time of year you really struggle to get a builder.

This is our Christmas special, comparing the first Doctor Who Christmas episode of all - 1965's The Feast of Steven, Episode 7 of the epic Daleks' Master Plan - with the Christmas Invasion, the the first Christmas special of the modern era from 2005. With excursions into Terry Nation's comedy, Hancock and variety shows.
