==Notes==
== Notes ==
Most of the stories in this anthology take place in altered timelines created by Doggles' "history machine"; these timelines are (mostly) erased when things are changed back to normal by Braxiatel.
* [[Philip Purser-Hallard]] wrote on his blog that contributors were given the brief that the fourteen chapters following [[Simon Bucher-Jones]]' ''[[Inappropriate Laughter (short story)|Inappropriate Laughter]]'' were each to be considered "Chapter Two", penned by a different author and set in an alternate version of history after [[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]]'s 'history machine' split the timeline. The final chapter ''[[After Life (short story)|After Life]]'', also by Simon, would act as Chapter Three and see history mended and all the timelines drawn together as one. http://www.infinitarian.com/sc.html

Something Changed was the seventh Big Finish Bernice Summerfield story anthology. It was edited by Simon Guerrier.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Everybody dies.

There's a fresh grave on planetoid KS-159, but only Bernice Summerfield seems to have noticed. Her friends on the Braxiatel Collection are too busy with their own affairs to see how distraught she is, how keenly she feels this loss.

There's no time to grieve. Life must carry on, different and strange as it may be. Benny has a son and a bloke to look after, and a feud with Bev Tarrant to keep up. And she's also got dumped with a new assignment, babysitting some daft experiment.

Doggles claims his "history machine" will change everything. And the worst thing is that he's right.
