Something Who

Back for the second half of this Gav-inspired pairing of two Zygon stories: last time's four part 4th Doctor story Terror of the Zygons, paired with this episode's 2015 two part 12th Doctor outing The Zygon Invasion / Inversion from Series 9. We'll decide whether these stories make you feel like lairds or a bunch of suckers. Joining Gav for the discussion are Paul, Giles and Richard.

We'll decide whether these stories make you feel like lairds or a bunch of suckers. Joining Gav for the discussion are Paul, Giles and Richard.

The second half of what was supposed to be a quick and easy pair of episodes to research, record and edit, with less than 2 hours of screen time across the two stories.

Happy New Year from Something Who.

Just before Christmas, on 23rd December 2024, a 90 minute colour version of the War Games was broadcast on BBC4 and made available in the BBC iPlayer. As with The Daleks before it, this 10 part black and white story has been edited into a shorter form and colourised to help bring it to life for a new generation.

And Something Who has managed to secure a return visit from two of the key members of ...

You may have noticed that our 100th episode came out earlier this year. This is a series of clips from the first 5 years of our podcast to capture the spirit of what we do. If you haven't heard us before, this will give you a flavour. And if you have, here's a reminder.

Thanks to all the many contributors and guests over those 5 years. It's been a lot of fun (and a hell of a lot of editing).

We hope you enjoy these clips and, if yo...

After a chance meeting at the War Machines event at Riverside Studios, Richard speaks with journalist and author Jonn Elledge, a regular on the podcast Paper Cuts.

We have free ranging chat based on the loose theme of Jonn's latest book, A History of The World in 47 Borders, discussing how Jonn became a Doctor Who fan, how Doctor Who deals with the topic of borders and how, like any listener to this podcast, at all times at least 3...
