Something Else emerged as a creative rebound for Daryl Della after the unsettling collapse of Number Nine. Desperate to move on, Daryl, alongside Lozo, launched into an improvised chase scene, setting the stage for a script filled with the cinematic ambitions they'd longed to tackle.

The film’s title — a defiant shrug to conventional filmmaking — symbolized their return to the familiar, chaotic creativity of their early works. This project saw the reintroduction of Bill Bandages, revamped from Ray's earlier scripts, and featured a cameo by Alan Wigley as Sam Haggis, further weaving the early threads of the Dollars & Donuts Universe. Something Else marked a pivotal moment in D&D history, bridging past exploits with future aspirations and embedding classic characters into a narrative that nodded to both their amateur roots and evolving narrative complexity.

Immediately following this film in 2011, Daryl would partner with Michael Martin, signaling a departure from this universe for over a decade as they pursued new cinematic horizons.
