Giles, Rick and Richard return with guest Jim Trenowden to discuss the second of two stories about exploitation - 10th Doctor outing New Earth from Series 2, which we've paired with last time's missing but recently animated 1st Doctor story The Savages from Season 3. We'll decide whether these stories give you a bit of a boost, or just leave you feeling wiped out.

Jim is promoting the work of Film is Fabulous, a truly exciting endeavour to preserve films in the hands of private collectors, some of which are unique, and save them from being lost forever. You can find out more about Film is Fabulous here: https://filmisfabulous.org.uk/

Rick posts on social media as @brickpandorica, where you can find fantastic pictures of his Lego models of Doctor Who moments.

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, or anywhere you go to find books.

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. For all episodes, go to https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ and https://ifhurtnot.work.

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.
