Loneliness is a Warm Gun

by Dwayne Bunney

This is a short story I originally started to write as a project for a creative writing evening class I was attending. At that time I had been quite obessed about the details surrounding the Port Arthur Massacre in 1998, and this story, in a way, was a result of my complete lack of comprehension of the crime. 

I structured it deliberately in episodic form (3 parts), and when an opportunity came to pitch it to Big Finish, I inserted the characters of the 5th Doctor and Nyssa (who I swapped the original character "Mary" for). The Doctor Who version was never completed as a pitch only consists of a synopsis and 1 page of story. 

But here is the original story without the Doctor Who elements. I hope you like it. 

This also gives me the opportunity to change the title back to the name I originally intended, because when the text version was published, the publisher insisted on changing the name to Loneliness "OR" a Warm Gun. I was never happy with that. I'm big on story names and I had a very specific reason why I chose this one. Yes, I stole it from The Beatles.

I don't really know how to explain this one...

It has to be seen to be believed, yet it's still somehow unbelievable.

Here's a compilation of some of the highlights of Something Who from 2021.

It was the year that Gav was persuaded to join the existing team of Richard, Paul and Giles. We have a discussion about the merits of Richard Martin as a director on Doctor Who, Chris Chapman explains how he told the story of Elisabeth Sladen in his documentary "Our Sarah Jane", we chat about The Crimson Horror, including our various meetings with Matthew Sweet, Tim joins us for The Gunfighters, while Gav rants about its historical accuracy, Paul Hayes talks about his book "The Long Game" and we discuss some issues with Mawdryn Undead.

Peruse our back catalogue for the full versions of all of these clips and, if you enjoy them, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or similar platform.

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.

Show Notes & Links:

• Director Jamie Magnus Stone has good ideas
• We don’t know much about the Crimean War but did know about Florence Nightingale & *should* have known about Mary Seacol 
• Sydney Newman wanted the show to have a ‘strong informational core based on fact’
• Not like Back to the Future 
• Mary Seacoll was played by Sara Powell
• Oscar Isaac doesn’t write scripts
