Giles, Rick and Richard are joined by honoured guest Jim Trenowden to discuss two stories about exploitation - in this episode missing, but recently animated 1st Doctor story The Savages from Season 3, which we'll pair next time with 10th Doctor outing New Earth from Series 2. We'll decide these stories give you a bit of a boost, or just leave you feeling wiped out

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.

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.

As a companion to our Something Who 101, which has clips from the first 5 years of our podcast, it's time to share a few highlights from the past year of Something Who, which included our 100th episode. If you haven't heard us before, this will give you a flavour of our podcast. And if you have, here's a reminder.

And there's a lot to choose from. In addition to our regular presenting team of Richard, Paul and Giles, Rick rapidly became a fixture, and we had several appearances from Jess Jurkovic. Gav Rymill came back, Tim Burrows popped by for an episode and Simon Guerrier made a return visit. Richard had a nice chat with Jonn Elledge about his enthusiasm for Doctor Who.

We hope you enjoy these clips and, if you do, please peruse our back catalogue for the full versions of all of these items and perhaps you'd like to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or similar platform.

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).
