Thinking Outside the Box

"Toast: It's like someone took bread and really kicked it up a notch."

You remember that phrase 'Event TV'? Well, having waited for 9 years to see a) Doctor Who back properly and b) 6 more years to see an episode written by Neil Gaiman, certain members of the crew of the good ship Ood were a little excited to say the least. And what a treat we were given...

So now it's our turn to share the joy - this week's Ood Cast is the usual mix of cheery discussion (with a bit of added over excitement), music and sketches.

We see what the Doctor makes of an interior designer's version of the console room, catch up on what's cool with the Doctor, find out exactly what his bedroom is like and are yet again plagued by technical difficulties...

But don't worry, we soldiered on. After all, we're Oods.

Oods are cool now.

The Best Medicine

"The dog star looked a little bit like Anish Kapoor's Leviathan ... except for a sort of glowing white version of it."

Avast ye net lubbers!

Grab your hook hands, strap on your wooden legs and join the Oods on the high seas this week as they slightly review Curse of the Black Spot and then have a look at what happens when they're let loose on the suspiciously-coloured remaining drinking supplies.

There's pirates ... in space, Downton Abbey ... at sea and in space (kind of), a special section where the Doctor kindly explains how things work to us stupid humans and then we see what happens when the Doctor and the TARDIS want to go somewhere a little piratey but just can't quite understand each other.

All that and a magnificent song from Laura - all together now: "Whooooo lives in a spaceship just above the sea? Spongebob Bonneville..."

(not really)

Next Episode

Oh That This Too Solid Flesh Would Melt

"It just looked like a crazy jacuzzi that somebody had sharted in..."

On this week's Ood Cast, the Oods are spooked out, concerned and over the moon with things all at once as they review The Rebel Flesh. But even slightly freaked out, we still manage to run at you with some freshly-concocted Oody goodness, like a madman with a stick.

So watch out this week while we dissect what happens when you use the flesh technology to fool your friends into thinking you have a real girlfriend, unearth an advertising treat from the future (it's acidic and terrific) and take a look into an official inspection of another mining plant's secretarial staff.

All that and Chris Alpha catches us on series 6 through the medium of haiku while Laura duets with her own ganger.

Classic.
