    Richard, Paul, Giles and Gav are hijacked from the Something Who bunker in "1980" and forced to record by Sutekh to record an episode about Pyramids of Mars.

    This is the first half of a typical Something Who comparison between two stories - Pyramids of Mars and Mummy on the Orient Express. This half focuses almost exclusively on Pyramids, but stick around, the second half will be along soon. Boring tech problems have caused a delay.

    Richard's "poem" is a little grandiose, so Giles and Paul help him to add a touch of realism. Then it's time to discuss werewolf tales with Seventh Doctor story The Greatest Show in the Galaxy and 10th Doctor adventure Tooth and Claw.

    And whatever the title may suggest, we actually enjoyed them both a great deal.

    Richard, Paul, Giles and Tim give the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon their best shot, before looking at another pair of historical stories - 1st Doctor story The Gunfighters and 11th Doctor outing A Town Called Mercy, both set in the American West.

    I wanted to focus on how Chris uses his films to tell stories and to discuss the planning and editing processes as much as the actual filming, though naturally some of those stories come through too. We focus in this episode on Chris's new films for the Season 14 and Season 8 sets.

    I think you'll be blown away by Chris's natural enthusiasm for his work, as well as his passion for the subjects of his films.

    Don't worry that this is episode 43 and the last one was 41. It's all gone a little bit wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey on us, but 42 will be along soon and it'll be worth waiting for.

    Chris's work is all over the Doctor Who DVD and Blu-Ray ranges, and while the limited editions of the Blu-Rays can be hard to get hold of, they are slowly being re-issued and well worth the price of admission.

    And if you can't get enough of Chris's work, you can also head over to https://www.bigfinish.com/, where he has written a number of audio plays.

After which it's the pairing you voted for on Twitter - 1st Doctor story The Romans and 10th Doctor outing The Fires of Pompeii, both with a 1st century Italian setting.

    Gav surprises us all with his return to the Something Who bunker, perhaps drawn by the siren call of wine and science. Along with Paul, Giles and Richard he discusses two Doctor Who stories with a connection to 1969: Third Doctor story The Ambassadors of Death, which was written in that year, and Eleventh Doctor outing The Impossible Astronaut / Day of the Moon, which is set in 1969, both with strong links to the space programmes of that era.

    We try to stay on topic, but inevitably we stray into programmes of the same era and we give Amy's Crack a particularly thorough examination. Oddly, despite the fact that everybody had a go writing Ambassadors, it's Moffat's episodes that seem to have the most loose threads.

    Gav is unique among guests to Something Who in having provided us with his own remix of the episode and you can thank him for the fact that this runs at less than two hours, while retaining all the key moments, when my original edit was considerably longer.

    And it wouldn't  be Something Who if  we didn't use that concept as a framework for other discussions.

    I know what you're saying. What happened to Episode 30? Rest easy, Something Who fans, it's coming. Rather like Seasons 10, 15, 17 and 19 among others, our episodes are coming out in a different order from how we recorded them. And here's a treat for you.

    Earlier in the year, Jeremy Bentham joined us on Something Who to chat about his long association with fandom, including his association with the Doctor Who Appreciation Society and his work on Doctor Who Magazine (or Weekly and Monthly as it was known then).

    Jeremy returns to talk with me about 4 figures who made the programme that he met in the early years of fandom, plus another who he wishes he had met. Along with his personal memories, we talk about the impact that Patrick Troughton, Douglas Camfield, Ian Scoones, Dennis Spooner and David Whitaker had on Doctor Who and its fandom.

    Autumn has arrived, the nights are drawing in and naturally our thoughts return once more to Doctor Who. At the same time, it's the end of the cricket season and the start of football and this time we're looking at Doctor Who's two great sporting encounters, starting with 5th Doctor's cricketing exploits in Black Orchid, followed by the 11th Doctor's footballing feats in The Lodger. And who better to help us with that than Huw Turbervill. Huw is a sports journalist and the Managing Editor of The Cricketer Magazine, as well as an occasional visitor to Gallifrey Base's Missing Episodes Megathread, where we met him. And so we've turned our podcast for one episode only into Something Huw, including a pastiche on Black Orchid, analyses of all of the Doctor's encounters with both games and Huw's encounters with some of our heroes in his journalistic career.

OK, it's a fair cop guv'nor, really it's our Christopher Benjamin appreciation episode. Up first it's Fourth Doctor adventure The Talons of Weng-Chiang, followed by Tenth Doctor outing The Unicorn and the Wasp. We find more to say about the former than the latter, but we seem to have enjoyed both. And while Paul appears to say nothing remotely controversial about either story, Richard dives straight into the fray with his size 12s.

    So put on your best bib and tucker, order up a Hansom cab, or a Rolls, and prepare to hob nob with the top nobs at The Palace Theatre and a country manor house.
