   Episode 131: Of Mice, Men and Daleks

   As Burns said, the best laid plans "gang aft aglay" (often go astray). So,  we recorded this on April 30th - Gav, Giles and Paul joining Richard for a discussion about two episodes of The Daleks' Masterplan: the extant Episode 5, Counterplot, and the still missing Episode 6, Coronas of the Sun. It has taken a wee bit longer than expected to edit, but here it finally is. Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com Gav's excellent YouTube series Terry Nation Army can be found here: https://youtube.com/user/Dalek6388. Also, next time you're in the North West, check out West Kirby Escape Room: The Jurassic Factor westkirbyescaperoom.co.uk Head over to https://www.bigfinish.com/, where we all love Paul's stories. 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, at all good bookshops, and a few bad ones too. 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. https://open.spotify.com/show/4c8RB62kyKkfMPixhM7MmG. 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.

   Episode 130: Katarina's Big Day Out (The Airlock)

   So, there we were, back in April, 3 episodes into The Daleks' Masterplan when the plan was hatched to just keep going. And we recorded this on April 30th, our thoughts on the still (mostly) missing Episode 4, The Traitors. It has taken a wee bit longer than expected to edit, but here it is. So, back to looking at photo and soundtrack reconstructions, Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for a discussion about what we can discern from the extant material. We'll be back soon with our thoughts on other episodes of The Daleks' Masterplan.  Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness.

   Episode 129: A Devil of a Wait

   Barely two months after we posted part 1 of this chat, we return to the moment when, thanks to the fantastic people behind Film Is Fabulous, the four Something Who panellists sat down to watch Episodes 1 & 3 of The Daleks' Masterplan at various times and in various places over the Easter weekend. In a companion piece to our Episode 125, when we watched these episodes as photo and soundtrack reconstructions, Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for a discussion about the experience of now watching the moving pictures. What have we learned that we didn't already know from the soundtracks, clips, photos and camera scripts? What did we enjoy most about the experience of viewing these episodes for the very first time? This podcast episode covers Devil's, episode 3 and aspects of Day of Armageddon, episode 2. We'll be back soon with our thoughts on other episodes of The Daleks' Masterplan.  Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness.
