Episode 121: Missing Episodes - Mmm... Power
Something WhoMarco, 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.
Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com
Gav's excellent YouTube series Terry Nation Army can be found here: https://youtube.com/user/Dalek6388. Also, next time you're in the North West, check out his new venture - West Kirby Escape Room: The Jurassic Factor westkirbyescaperoom.co.uk
Head over to https://www.bigfinish.com/, where we all love Paul's stories. You can find his latest Companion Chronicle The White Ship here as part of the Families box set: https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-the-companion-chronicles-families-3001
Giles is a published author with many books, primarily related to science and astronomy. check out his work here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Giles-Sparrow/author/B001IXOESC, at all good bookshops, and a few bad ones too.
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. We've moved - for all episodes, now go to https://open.spotify.com/show/4c8RB62kyKkfMPixhM7MmG.
The Something Who logo, which features prominently on all our cover art was designed for us by Bea Garrido. She's a really talented artist, who you can find by following this link: https://beagarridoart.weebly.com/, where you can buy prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who.
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.

The Doctor Who Podcast Film Club - Christmas Edition
The Doctor Who PodcastIt’s only a week to Christmas!! Here in the DWP Campervan, we are getting into the Christmas spirit – by watching films that remind us of this wonderful time of year. However, given its impossible for us to sustain conversation about films (or indeed ANY subject) without refencing Doctor Who, James, Brent and Phil draw parallels between the films they’ve selected with Doctor Who stories! Can you guess the Who connection before they do?! It won’t be hard….!
We’ll be back on Sunday with our review of the Finale to The War Between The Land and the Sea, and then again in just a few days time ON CHRISTMAS DAY – with our own very Christmas Special! If the BBC can’t provide a Doctor Who Christmas celebration, then we will! Hooray!
Enjoy the madness! 🙂

Podcastica Episode 356: Prisoners of Time Ch. 9-12 OR MTV's Remote Control Frobisher
PodcasticaWell, friends, we have reached our final episode of 2025 and the final installment of the Prisoners of Time comic book adventure! This time we have a fairly flimsy 9th Doctor story that really only seems there to reveal who our villain is. Then we join Ten and Martha in Los Angeles and places John has actually been! And instead of learning if the Frogmen the 11th Doctor is dealing with are the same ones from the Loveland, Ohio sightings, we start down an increasingly bonkers adventure in the last two stories! It's a wild ride and we are here for it!! Also, thanks for listening to us in 2025. We're excited to pull our makeshift TARDIS out of mothballs in early 2026 to jump forward to when Disney surely will air The War Between the Land and the Sea so we can review it for you in January!

TDP 1431: Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor Adventures: Wicked! REVIEW
Tin Dog PodcastThis title was released in October 2025. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 30 November 2025, and on general sale after this date. The Doctor has a new friend. Ace has just joined the TARDIS, and is a long, long way from home. Hunting treasure, solving snow-covered mysteries and meeting heroes of legend, a partnership is formed. The Doctor starts to see his protégée's potential - while Ace thinks their adventures are nothing less than 'wicked'... Backwards and in Heels by Alison Winter The Doctor has offered young Ace a lift home from Iceworld, promising the scenic route home to Perivale. But when they are diverted to 1920s Soho on what appears to be shady business, Ace wonders if she's making the right choices, let alone in the right order. The Price of Snow by Katharine Armitage Ski resort Val du Cam Belle is 'the place to be' for the 1% of the near future. But the Doctor and Ace discover sinister shadows beneath the surface of this winter wonderland. The sun is too hot, the shade is too dark and nothing is quite what it seems... The Ingenious Gentlemen by Alan Ronald Fiction and reality collide when a mad man with a box and a mad man with a horse encounter an ancient evil in 15th century Spain. But the adventurer-and-companion setup is a little too familiar to Ace, and she begins to question if she is anything more than a Sancho to the Doctor's Quixote. BACK IN STOCK!

Ask Mr Producer!
The Doctor Who ShowHi everyone – Dave here!
Many of us know a LOT about how TV was made during the classic era of Who, but I realised I don’t know much AT ALL about how modern Who (and TV generally) is made!
So, I invited friend of the podcast – and an Emmy winning producer – Dylan Rees on the show to discuss these matters! It’s a little more in depth than our usual style, but I hope you’ll find this one-off chat interesting!
