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.

As a holiday gift to you all, here is our review of the 1993 Children In Need "Special" 'Dimensions In Time'.

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

March 1974 saw two Target novelization releases; Episode 6 covered one of those, Malcolm Hulke's Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon. This week we jump back in time from the 30th century to the 22nd and take a long look at Terrance Dicks' Doctor Who and the Day of the Daleks. A remarkable book, one of Terrance's longest, this expands greatly on the troubled TV production, adding a prologue and epilogue not seen on TV, and giving us Terrance with some of his most evocative prose ever.

The first half of the episode features Jason's trademark deep dive into the book's prose.

For the second half, we're joined this week by Tony Whitt of the Doctor Who Target Book Club podcast (@DWTARGETBC). Tony's excellent Target podcast previously covered this book -- and paid tribute to Terrance Dicks in general -- in 2019, and you can find that episode here:

Review of S13 E01 — The Halloween Apocalypse

• Some are quite invested in the Thasmin ship 
• As many were with Rose 
• We are still processing our feelings about the Timeless Child  & Division 
• Time Lords first appeared in The War Games 
• The COVID-19 impact on Doctor Who is a story still untold 
• Doctor Who has a long history on the ABC in Australia 
• A Thanos version of the Red Skull in an episode with a colour palette reminiscent of Guardians of the Galaxy
• Segun Akinola continues to deliver
• Dan Starkey looked truly disgusting
• The Doctor was once Lord President of the Time Lords 
• The Sontarans first appears in The Time Warrior 
• Paternoster Gang! Paternoster Gang! 
• Russell T. Davies foreshadowed his return as show runner with this Instagram Post
• The Cloister Bell tolls in the most serious of emergencies 
• The Mad Mole was a posthumous nickname for Joseph Williamson 
• Vortex Energy had less impact here than in Bad Wolf

Welcome to the 15th episode of a short podcast we’re dropping on the feed every month in between our regular monthly shows.

In today’s podcast, Rob sits down with Dylan Rees to talk about the letters to DWM in December of 1998. You might know Dylan as the author of 'Downtime: The Lost Years of Dr Who' or the host of the podcast 'Dr Who: Too Hot For TV' which Rob listens to avidly.

This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go.

This is Primary Sources.

A happy Christmas to all of you at home! It’s Christmas 2021, and thanks to the circumstances of the world, it may well be going off the rails for you! So let’s sit back, set the year-o-meter to 2005, and watch along with us as we provide for you a commentary for the first Doctor Who Christmas special – the original, you might say – Russell T Davies’ first foray into a Doctor Who Yuletide tradition, “The Christmas Invasion”!

When loveable middle-class white lady Sue Brockman (Claire Skinner) loses her husband Pete (Hugh Dennis) after his plane goes missing over the English Channel, she decides to withhold that information from her children (Tyger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez), because she is afraid it might ruin their Christmas (which it totally would). But her world is soon turned upside-down by a mysterious stranger (a very young Prince Philip in his first television role), who beguiles the children with hot and cold running lemonade before whisking them off to an extraterrestrial forest which is about to have massive vats of acid dumped on it. Meanwhile, surprisingly, obnoxiously messianic lion Aslan (Liam Neeson) is nowhere to be found. Mark McManus and Pete Lambert guest star. It’s The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe.

Notes and Links

Here’s The Young Ones parodying The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Claire Skinner also started in the Outnumbered Christmas Special The Broken Santa in 2011, which was watched by 8.47 million people. (This episode of Doctor Who was watched by 10.77 million viewers. So take that, Claire.)

Bill Bailey, who plays Droxil in this episode, admits publicly that he is a massive Doctor Who fan, which we think is terribly brave. Here he is playing the Doctor Who theme reimagined as Belgian jazz. You really need to watch it.

Arabella Weir starred as the Doctor in a Big Finish audio story called Exile, part of its Doctor Who Unbound series. Pete was not impressed.

Wizards vs Aliens was created by Russell T Davies and Phil Ford in 2012, in a way to replace The Sarah Jane Adventures after the death of Lis Sladen. Its second episode, Grazlax Attacks, was a hilarious rip-off of Gremlins (1984).

And finally, the prequel scene to this episode was included in the DVD and Blu-ray releases of Doctor Who Series 7 in both the US and UK.
