So, we’ve been recording again…

Our collective new year’s resolution is to get back on the ball properly – as everyone seems to have noticed that life etc. got very much in the way towards the end of last year and we’re now several steps behind where we should (and would like) to be.

SO, here’s an update.

We have recorded the shows for Closing Time and The Wedding of River Song. These are currently at the stage of being edited, and will be released as soon as we can humanly (or Oodly, if you prefer) make it.

We will then, for it will be our 50th show (!) be releasing a “Best of…” podcast. So please do let us know what your favourite song or sketch is, and if you’re able to record a little audio introduction for it, please do – we’d love our listeners to be involved in this. You can leave a comment below or email your choices and any audio files to oodcast@me.com.

After that, our Christmas special review extravaganza WILL be ready to unleash. So we’ll do that.

We are still planning to release the Ood Cast Live as a podcast – although it’s more likely to be a studio-recorded version, as we had various technical issues with the original… Despite that, here’s a small extract to say sorry for all the delays.

During the scribbling process for the Ood Cast Live, I became rather stuck with a particular episode: The Doctor’s Wife (by Neil Gaiman). So in an effort to try to get round it, I wrote a poem. Which ended up in the final script as our version of the episode - and was read beautifully on the night by Laura.  Here it is:

The Doctor’s Wife

On one day only, although
I couldn’t tell its day from night,
my soul left you.
My life was stolen
like you had stolen me –
My love, my constant,
my thief.

When we reunited,
it was without sense
or grammar or control.
I knew I missed you,
but not how to tell you
we had always been together.

I started with goodbyes –
first meeting nerves I suppose,
but I could feel your thoughts
rushing like a thousand streams
crossing their currents,
my beautiful idiot.

On one day only, although
I couldn’t tell its day from night,
I met you, touched your face,
spoke your strange, strange words.
My big complicated sadness
did not last.
