Here's a fun project I'm recreating. I'm going to run through each #DoctorWho story and provide you with an alternative title, with just one letter added, removed or changed, and write a little story to go with it.
Sounds more complicated than it is. Let's start with Season 1 of the original series.

Missed it at the time, but Something Who hit #25 in the Apple Podcasts UK TV Reviews chart back in late December. And even registered on the TV & Film chart. A long slide since then, but thanks to everyone who's been listening to our #DoctorWho #MissingEpisodes chat: somethingwho.podbean.com

Made me chuckle
Here in a clip from Something Who Ep122, @mrpaulmorris.bsky.social and @themindrobber.bsky.social discuss problems understanding what's going on in #DoctorWho The Massacre and who are the goodies and baddies, culminating in a great "morally grey" gag: somethingwho.podbean.com/e/episode-12...

I've definitely watched worse.
@mrpaulmorris.bsky.social explains his controversial choice of The Dancing Floor on Something Who episode 122, as a #MissingEpisode to see, a choice that didn't go down too well with either @themindrobber.bsky.social or, apparently, @tobyhadoke.bsky.social. somethingwho.podbean.com/e/episode-12...

On this day in 1966, the first episode of Doctor Who 'The Highlanders' was broadcast.
The videotapes were wiped just two months after the last episode aired.

We had a lot of fun chatting about our favourite missing episodes and even after all of these years we were discovering new angles. Apologies to any classical scholars for our limited knowledge of Greek myths and legends.

Great idea from @themindrobber.bsky.social. If some #DoctorWho #MissingEpisodes do turn up, as @filmisfabulous.bsky.social suggest they will, what might we find out? We're not suggesting these particular episodes are on the cards, but if they were, what delights would we have in store?

Thanks to everyone who's been downloading our latest @somethingwho.bsky.social on The Haunting of Villa Diodati after our mini-hiatus this autumn. As you can see it's been outperforming all our recent episodes.

It's entirely my fault this is so late. Hope it was worth the wait.
OK. Sit down in case you're overcome with shock, but a mere 10 weeks after it was recorded, and only 6 weeks since the other half came out, @themindrobber.bsky.social, @gswrites.bsky.social, @mrpaulmorris.bsky.social and @richardjsmith.bsky.social are back!

As a technologist in my day job, it's fascinating how much ChatGPT knows about Paul and gives a very vaguely plausible account.
Here's the opening of Something Who podcast Ep119. Not a sketch this time, but an impromptu interview that @themindrobber.bsky.social conducted with ChatGPT's version of Paul, when he was late joining the recording session. Equal parts hilarious & disturbing.

I hadn't watched Brain of Morbius for almost 50 years, since broadcast of course - even for me that must be a record.
Is it a "stone cold classic"? We have a lot of fun finding out.
Sorry it's taken a while since the last episode. We recorded this in mid August, it's just taken me ages to edit it.
