Review - Planet of Giants

This time, Paul and Phil turn their attention to the TV and a Target book as they look at Planet of Giants, the opening story to Season 2 of Doctor Who in 1964. What will they make of this not very well regarded story, which is a mixture of science fiction and ecological thriller?

Also...

• Paul gives us his take on Disney parting company with Doctor Who.
• Was Ncuti Gatwa miscast?

The newly Susan-free TARDIS lands on Dido (but, alas, too late to prevent her musical career from happening).

There they find a distressed Susan-alike, her grumpy companion and the sinister Koquillion, who is spiky both in physiognomy and personality.

Can our intrepid travellers discover Bennett's secret?

Will Babs murder any more of Vicki's pets?

How will the Doctor survive without having the word "Grandfather" shrieked into his face on a regular basis?

And did Jim and Martin enjoy their sojourn on Dido or were they in desperate need of rescue?

Listen to find out!

Well, here's something new, friends! We're reviewing a comic book Doctor Who story! Well, stories would be more accurate because Prisoners of Time was originally a year-long 12 issue miniseries from IDW to celebrate Doctor Who's 50th anniversary. We read the first four issues (chapters) and talked about what we liked and didn't like.

  Dare you step into the shadows? Terror awaits across time and space. Silent assassins, primordial evils and horrors that defy imagination – the Doctor’s universe has never been more terrifying. 1. Sea Smoke by Jonathan Sims - A First Doctor and Dodo adventure The First Doctor and Dodo arrive on the Scottish isle of Ulfsay during the height of the 19th-century boom in kelp burning. They quickly realise something is wrong as the smoke from the latest batch of 'kelp' begins to cause horrific transformations on the island. 2. Party Favours by Georgia Cook - A Kate Stewart and Osgood adventure All Bev wants to do is host her yearly Halloween party and heal her fractured relationship with her girlfriend, Annika. Unfortunately, her reclusive upstairs neighbours have been invited to the festivities, and all they want to do is feast. 3. Bramble King by Noga Flaishon - An Eighth Doctor and Audacity adventure The Doctor and Audacity encounter a strange vision which leads them to Walpurgis-9, a cargo ship drifting powerless through space. In their attempt to assist the ship's crew, they become entangled in their secrets and encounter the malevolent entity known as 'The Bramble King'. 4. Merlin's Trap by Hannah Kennedy - A Twelfth Doctor adventure When Lainey leads an expedition into the ancient Merlin’s Cave System, the group is warned by Merlin's ghostly voice to explore no further. As Lainey and her team push deeper into the mysterious cave, they encounter things far beyond their comprehension, including Merlin himself.   **THIS TITLE IS NOW OUT OF STOCK ON CD**

The War Between the Land and the Sea is premiering Sunday, December 7! While that throws a wrench in our usually stable release plans, we're certain we can all cope through the first three weeks of December. In other news, the Three Who Rule calm the waters on missing episode rumblings, a follow-up on Tubi disintegrating Classic Doctor Who from its listings, Gallifrey One news, more staircase intrigues, and the Pondcast, a new podcast featuring none other than Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill reminiscing about their time on Doctor Who! But the real highlight is a descent into 2009 with the second part of our re-examination of Torchwood: Children of Earth!

Day of the Daleks is the first serial of the ninth season of Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from 1 to 22 January 1972. It was the first of four Third Doctor serials to feature the Daleks, which returned to the series for the first time since The Evil of the Daleks (1967).

The Doctor and UNIT investigate the attempted assassination of British diplomat Sir Reginald Styles, whose attacker apparently disappeared into thin air.

After nearly a decade in the Upside Down, Stranger Things is finally complete and on this episode of Alternate Galaxies, we sit down to take in the whole saga, from the very start to the closing moments of the final episode. 

With the full story now on the table, we look at how the show evolved, what it was building toward (if it even knew itself), and how it holds together when viewed as one complete narrative rather than 9 years of waiting on a story that lasted 4 years in-universe.

We talk characters, themes, tonal shifts, nostalgia overload, ageing kids, big swings, weird choices, and whether the ending actually earned it. 

An affectionate but honest look at one of the defining genre TV shows of the last decade, now that we finally know how it all ends.

Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for the second half of our discussion about some actual missing episodes. In this moment of Film is Fabulous getting close to some missing episodes which still exist in film collections, Gav had the idea of each of us picking two standalone missing episodes to try to unravel some enduring mysteries. Originally there weren't going to be any Dalek episodes, but Gav and Richard forgot that part of the brief.

In this half of the discussion we look at The Massacre episode 4, The Celestial Toymaker episode 3, The Power of the Daleks episode 4 and The Highlanders Episode 3.

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. We've moved - for all episodes, now go to 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.

Look, It's Christmas and I'm lazy.

It's both parts of our invasion review stuck together - we know they've only been out for two weeks at this point but I'm really tired and bereft of ideas.

Merry Christmas

Resolution; Adam, Kirby and Mary see out 2025 and fill in with a seasonal special. The BBC could not afford more than one Dalek and to afford to credit the Skaroians in the title of the episode. We follow this with the usual stuff.

We discuss the abrupt end to Ncuti Gatwa era with a review of his concluding 2-part story Wish World and The Reality World and the speculate briefly about what may be ahead for Doctor Who. Opening and closing music is "Monsters" off of Blue Öyster Cult's 1980 studio album Cultösaurus Erectus. We recorded this episode on 24 July 2025.

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast....

The War Between The Land And The Sea - Summing Up

Do you want to spend an hour of New Years Eve listening to two podcasters being grumpy? Well, all your dreams have come true as Phil and Paul sum up The War Between The Land And The Sea, the Doctor Who spin off show, which is also the last of the Disney era content.

But where does the Whoniverse go from here? Is there even a Whoniverse or is it time to draw a line under this iteration of Doctor Who? The lads give their opinion on what could or should happen (in their opinion), which leads Phil to contradict himself on more than one occasion!

We want to wish all our listeners a Happy New Year and thanks for listening to us in 2025!

You can currently find us on X, Threads, Mastodon, Bluesky and Facebook. Don't miss an episode by subscribing to our show on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Podcasts, plus many other podcatchers of your choice.

Jump on board the DWP Campervan for it’s final spin of 2025. Michele returns and instantly takes over the driving, giving James plenty of time to navigate the (very loose) review of Doctor Who in 2025. In reality, it’s more of a Who-related geekout as Michele and James catch up!

Many thanks to everyone who everyone who has listened to us this year – or indeed at any time in our long history. We wish you a very Happy New Year and a wonderful 2026!

We’ll be back in early 2026 with our annual Who & Company crossover, this time focussing on the latest animated story, The Savages. See you next year!
