Podcasts about omnirumour

A big week for beginnings this week, with a new Doctor, a new origin story for the Daleks, and a whole new approach to defeating the bad guys. Oh, and a new podcast to discuss them all on. So let's welcome Patrick Troughton to the studio floor, as we discuss The Power of the Daleks. Notes and links The most recent Blu-ray release of The Power of the Daleks was the Special Edition in 2020, which includes a compilation of all the surviving footage, including material shot on an 8mm film camera pointing at a TV screen. This material was also included on the Lost in Time DVD release way back in 2004. Simon also mentions a site which chronicles the upsetting history of Doctor Who's missing episodes. It's called The Destruction of Time, and it's well worth reading, if a bit dispiriting at times. The Omnirumour was a series of rumours arising during 2013 that as many as 90 missing Doctor Who episodes had been found and were ready for return to the BBC Archives, possibly as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations. This didn't happen, obviously, but we did at least get nine episodes: five episodes of The Enemy of the World and four of The Web of Fear. Let's continue the tradition: here is Elizabeth Sandifer's essay on this story, which (inevitably) discusses the importance of mercury to the new Doctor's character. Nathan and Brendan refer to Kieran Hodgson's Bad Doctor Who Impressions version of The Daleks, which is something you should go and watch immediately. James very thoughtfully plugs Brendan and Richard's new podcast about The Avengers, called The Three-Handed Game, in which they are joined by old friend of the podcast Steven B to discuss episodes from different eras in the history of the show. At the end of the episode, Simon recounts the story of the gradual revelation of The Power of the Daleks throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s. Among the things he mentions are Peter Haining's Doctor Who: A Celebration (1983), the Radio Times Doctor Who 20th Anniversary Special (also 1983), The Making of Doctor Who by Malcolm Hulke and Terrance Dicks (2nd edition, 1976), an edition of DreamWatch Bulletin (possibly issue 121 in December 1993) announcing the upcoming publication of the telesnaps in Doctor Who Magazine, and the discovery by Damian Shanahan of some clips from this story in an Australian TV Show called Perspective: C for Computer. Flight Through Entirety discussed The Power of the Daleks in Episode 11: Bum Wetting. Follow us Nathan is on X as @nathanbottomley, Brendan is @brandybongos, James is @ohjamessellwood, and Simon is @simonmoore72. The 500 Year Diary theme was composed by Cameron Lam. For now at least, 500 Year Diary shares a social media presence with Flight Through Entirety. So you can follow us on Mastodon and Bluesky, as well as on X and Facebook. Our website is at 500yeardiary.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we'll write next week's shownotes in a completely incomprehensible acrostic code. And more You can find links to all of the podcasts we're involved in on our podcasts page. But here's a summary of where we're up to right now. Flight Through Entirety will be back at Christmas in July to discuss The Return of Doctor Mysterio, and we'll be covering Peter Capaldi's final year on the show after that, concluding with Twice Upon a Time at Christmas. The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire will be back a couple of days after the screening of the first two episodes of Season 1 of the Ncuti Gatwa Era on 11 May. In the meantime, you can hear our hot takes on the four episodes we've seen of Doctor Who's second RTD era. There's also Startling Barbara Bain, our Space: 1999 commentary podcast. We've covered the first four episodes of Series 1; Episode 5 should be out in the next couple of weeks. Maximum Power will be back later in the year to talk about the final series of Blakes 7. And finally there's our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. This week, we said farewell to Star Trek: Enterprise by watching that universally acknowledged Star Trek war crime, These Are the Voyages….

Anyway, please try again now. Seems to be working properly following a reload) Once again, it's time to share a few highlights from the past year of Something Who as we bring you a compilation from our episodes in 2023. And there's a lot to choose from. In addition to our regular presenting team of Richard, Paul, Giles and Simon, we had a lot of guests this year, including Tim Burrows from The Missing Episodes podcast on our 10th anniversary discussion of the Omnirumour. We chatted to an actual Doctor Who writer in Matthew Jacobs, along with Vanessa Yuille, who together made the wonderful fan film Doctor Who Am I? Both Matthew and Vanessa were almost upstaged by a pneumatic drill, but saw the funny side. We spoke with Steve Manfred about his friendship and collaboration with writer Neil Gaiman. Elizabeth Morton spoke with us about her family connections to Doctor Who, as well as her writing career. And Benjamin Cook, Rich Tipple and Timothy K Brown discussed their work on colourising the first Dalek story for the 60th anniversary. Simon Guerrier joined us to chat about The Rescue and The Eleventh Hour, while providing lots of insight from his research into writer and story editor David Whitaker. 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.

Here's part 2 of our Omnirumour 10th Anniversary Special. On 29th March 2013, the DWO fan site said that 'a classic series related announcement' was coming and hinted that it was missing episodes related. In June of that year, the Bleeding Cool website ran a story suggesting that a large number of missing Doctor Who episodes had been found. Then Ian Levine tweeted about “three tons of evidence”. An e-mail, purportedly from a Radio Wiltshire DJ, but showing signs of mixed authorship was being passed between fans and excitement on the forums reached fever pitch. Lots of rumours were passed around and the number of episodes found was often said to be 90.  Finally in October the Radio Times announced that newly-discovered lost Patrick Troughton episodes would be made available for digital download within a week. It was proof, surely, that all the rumours were true? But after The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear were released, that was it. And ten years later we still don't know the truth of it, and people still discuss their theories on forums. There's a name given to all this madness - the Omnirumour. And on the tenth anniversary of it gaining broad publicity within fandom, I'm with two fellow-sufferers - Tim and Giles. We've all spent more time than we care to recount pondering these matters. In this episode of Something Who we'll chew over what we know for sure, what can't be true and some of the things that might be true. And finally give you our personal opinions.

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.

Here's a first compilation of some of the highlights of Something Who in 2020. Featuring Richard, Paul, Giles and Simon, plus Huw Turbervill on cricket in Doctor Who, our take on the strange fate of Gallifrey in the new series, Jeremy Bentham on Patrick Troughton, our views on The Haunting of Villa Diodati, Toby Hadoke on Living with Levene, Steven Schapansky on the Omnirumour, Chris Chapman on Keeping Up With the Joneses, and Rich Tipple & Kieran Highman on colourising Day of Armageddon.

Here's Something Who, Episode 20, and this time Richard talks with Steven Schapansky about Missing Episodes because... well, in the circumstances, it would have been rude not to.Steven, co-host of Radio Free Skaro, is a fellow Missing Episodes obsessive and the conversation covers the whole gamut from how we discovered that some Doctor Who episodes were missing, the recovery of stories in the 80s and 90s, the discovery of telesnaps and off air recordings, leading to audio releases, fan reconstructions and animations, the hunt for the remaining films and, inevitably, the Omnirumour.Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it.

The end of the year is upon us, and so Zeus Plug returns for a look back at an eventful year where the Doctor changed gender, the show changed runner and the Watcher changed employment status. Joining Jono to discuss this and the recent Christmas coda are The Doctor Who Show's Rob Irwin, and Beyond the Sofa's Peter Adamson. Featuring the return of the Omnirumour, Damaris Hayman & how Chris Chibnall is like Barack Obama.

Episode 68 - while Mark's away, the mice will play! Richard joins Rob to discuss the fallout of the May 27th Fantom event, where Phil Morris was, then wasn't, attending. We also drag out that dead horse named Omnirumour for one damned good flogging, for your entertainment!

Gareth Kavanagh joins Christian Cawley for this week's #DoctorWho podKast, discussing everything from #MissionDALEK to the differences between MP3 and FLAC. But on the way, they stop off and spend some time chatting about the current state of the omnirumour, the rather optimistic collection of rumours concerning the discovery (or otherwise) of some (or all) of Doctor Who's missing episodes. Watch out also for a brief chat about the Doctor Who Series 9 revelations, the Dad's Army trailer and the Lethbridge-Stewart series' revised schedule.

Episode 35 - The boys from Oz are back and with nothing of consequence occurring in the world of Who, we fall back to 'ye old faithful' top 5 countdown, this time looking at the top 5 underrated Nu Who episodes. Which stories will make the cut and which entries will render Mark speechless? We touch upon the Sony leaks, the Radio Times Nu Who poll and the long awaited (and delayed) return of our 'Dragged from the Archives' segment looking at casting of a new Doctor, the unfortunate death of another and an intriguing look at an alternate universe's version of Season 24 - would it have been an improvement on what was served up to us? Finally – has the Omnirumour claimed the sanity of its latest victim?

Instead of just mulling over the latest missing episodes news, this week's podKast brings in two guests, fans (who are also actors) John Guilor and Rupert Booth to talk about the omnirumour and much more. Brace yourselves, Kasterborites, for a podKast containing lofts, basements, penpals, appreciation society presidents, professional voice work, interactive movies but sadly, no James McLean. Hosted by Christian Cawley and Brian A Terranova. Warning - there is some adult language in this week's podKast!
