Paul, Giles, Rick and Richard return for the second half of their discussion about two stories with masterly intent - 3rd Doctor outing Colony in Space from Season 8, which we discussed last time and 10th Doctor story Utopia from Series 3, which forms the bulk of this episode's chat. We'll decide whether they have colonial style, or require colonic irrigation. And whether, in fact, it's basically the same story twice over.

Head over to https://www.bigfinish.com/, where we all love Paul's stories. His latest release is an Audio Novel called The Lord of Misrule featuring the Fourth Doctor, Romana, Jago and Litefoot and starring Jon Culshaw: https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-the-lord-of-misrule-3160

Rick posts on social media as @brickpandorica, where you can find fantastic pictures of his Lego models of Doctor Who moments. If this audio had been out in time we could have mentioned his appearance at the Calder Valley Brick Show. But if you missed that, he will also be at the Bricktastic show in Manchester on 22nd February.

Giles has 2 new children's books out, which you can find in all good bookshops and also at these links: Can We Live on Mars? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Mappers-Mappers-Making-Difficult-Understand/dp/B0C65GDB4G/ and Spin to Survive: Deep Space Danger https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spin-Survive-Destiny-Pop-Out-Fortune/dp/0711287767/.

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.

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 the team who made it - Benjamin Cook, the Editor, and Rich Tipple, Lead Colourisation Artist. It's a great chat that goes into how and why a number of the creative choices were made, some of the difficulties involved in editing and colorising a story form the 1960s as well as many of the delights involved.
