Not only is it not St Patrick's Day; it's not even March. But it was. And in a loose tie-in, we picked the two missing Patrick Troughton episodes that aired closest to March 17th. Following our discussion last time about The Macra Terror episode 2, Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard to chat about Fury From The Deep episode 1. We try to unravel some enduring mysteries, but most can only be answered if we ever get to see it. 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 his new venture - 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. 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.

This week, the Pop Culture Historians face THE MACRA TERROR! This four-part, completely missing story all about denying the evil that lives below is potent, timely, and contains just enough goofiness to make this a Season Four highlight. Plus, it's the first story to genuinely give Jamie something to do! What's not to like? Check this episode out…it's a gas!

The Marrieds are back and more positive than they've been in a while. They seem to really take to this 6 part fully animated story. Enjoy!

"There is no such thing as The Macra Terror Omnibus..." etc. Michael Dennis is an excellent guest on this attempt to capture The Macra Terror's best attributes in some sort of pincer movement using him and hoist Toby Hadoke.

Sean, Bay, and Andy watch as Ben, like many a good sailor before him, is overrun by crabs in "The Macra Terror"! Will we all enjoy it, or will it just make us crabby? Will there be one crab joke too many? Find out!

This week, we move on to a new Doctor with Patrick Troughton in his debut season, as he finds himself in a pinch with the Macra Terror.

Mark and Iain are joined once again by the wonderful Nathan Bottomley from Flight Through Entirety to take a look back at Ian Stuart Black's The Macra Terror.

Joe & Si; Ra! Ra! Ra! Discussion about piecing together Doctor Who like a puzzle. How gay and cheerful is Jamie? And how do you bring down giant gas guzzling crabs?

Joe & Si; happy to work, happy to play! Is this the point where the story becomes a little more conventional? What the hell is the Danger Gang? And what is the backstory of the Macra infiltrating the colony?

Joe & Si; pondering extraneous TARDIS facilities that we never hear about again. Is Si a champion tosser? An initiative test? Missing episodes = the ultimate, unsolvable puzzle.

Joe & Si; well this is gay! Huge love for the first episode, the subversive nature of Troughton's Doctor emerging, the insidious, jolly atmosphere and discussion of the animation. Nothing succeeds like success!

This week we enjoy Sweetheart of the Rodeo and discuss narcs, crabs, and holiday camps.  Everyone knows what time it is: we've finally gotten to the Macra Terror.   Diana's Reading List: About Time by Tat Wood and Lawrence Miles  TARDIS Eruditorum  by Elizabeth Sandifer Doctor Who The Unfolding Text by John Tulloch and Manuel Alvarado Doctor Who Celebrating Fifty Years by Alan Kistler Doctor Who & Race edited by Lindy Orthia   Thanks to @dinodannysart on Instagram for the sweet logo!

Your host Toby Hadoke is very tired on this one, so he barely has the energy for a Highland fling. Hopefully he makes up for his lack of energy in the post-commentary coda. And fortunately, brilliant guest Michael Dennis (who wrote for Mark Gatiss' excellent Queers anthology of monologues) is on hand to be far more interesting, eloquent and, well, awake than Toby is. Hopefully those of you less familiar with this story come away with a newfound appreciation for it after this. And that one of you has it in your attic. 

It's funny doing these with the old telesnaps. Bit of a challenge. But fortunately we have an excellent guest in the form of writer and Man of the Theatre Michael Dennis, and the script and production of The Macra Terror throw up plenty of things to talk about. So hopefully host Toby Hadoke will be able to claw some enjoyment from this...

"There is no such thing as Happy Times and Place 37.2" etc. Of course there is. And this is it. a rewarding look at an under appreciated story with special guest Michael Dennis, who has worked extensively in theatre as a company manager and is an excellent writer too. But will host Toby Hadoke manage to stay in control...?

Your host Toby Hadoke to work himself up to do this one - a story he has always enjoyed (and really had a good time with in his book Running Through Corridors). This time though, it felt like it was going to be a chore as it is all telesnaps and guesswork. So he grits his teeth and off he goes, with the delightful and insightful Michael Dennis - playwright and theatre fellow - as company... and boy are the results worth it. Not a story many people talk about, The Macra Terror, and that's a shame, because there's a lot to like. There's also a lot to guess!

The Brothers are back! Jack and Alex watch The War Machines and The Macra Terror. They have a chat about these stories written by Ian Stuart Black, then they talk about Ben Jackson, the forgotten Doctor Who punchy boy.

Ben and Mark discuss two benevolent dictatorships as they tackle 'The Lie of the Land' and 'The Macra Terror'? Does the Monk trilogy reach a satisfying conclusion? Were British holiday camps all that bad? Under discussion: Would the Monk arc have worked better as a 12 part Netflix series? Is 'The Lie of the Land' the most overt bit of political commentary in all of Doctor Who? Is the first Troughton series one of the great under-appreciated moments in Doctor Who? Also, Ben and Mark ponder the thesis that humanity never learns from its mistakes, and discuss how 'The Macra Terror' may be more relevant than it's ever been.

How can you not enjoy the peace and serenity of a colony that has daily marching band presentations? Maybe your mindset needs to be corrected? This week, Paddy and Tricia discuss the the TARDIS crew's arrival at a strange gas mining colony, where everyone lives for their work and don't seem to acknowledge anything strange going on. What is the dark secret behind The Macra Terror?

The Doctor is up against some big crabs! Big delicious crabs. Also, dystopia.
