“And the winner is…” The Oscars. The Golden Globes. The BAFTAs. Rear of the Year. These are some award ceremonies we have heard of and, in some cases, been nominated for (Andy came fourteenth in the 1987 Rear of the Year – we’re very proud). A little late to capitalise on the awards season, perhaps, [...]
“She has a nice round face with dimples on it … and I quite like her hair.” Doctor Who is nearly 50. It has been around for almost half a century and yet remains one of the most popular, creative and vital shows on television. And the secret to this ridiculous longevity? Sure scripts, actors [...]
“It’s a pantomime about Fascism.” Oooh, you lucky, lucky listeners. Have we got a treat for you? Gareth Roberts, writer of our Favourite Show Ever and hot off the desk from publishing his most recent novel, the Douglas Adams-inspired Shada, has floated down like a lovely hairy cherub wearing a Skype headset so we can [...]
“You spoke, we listened … and then we ignored you.” Everyone loves a good quiz, right? We do, anyway. It’s just that some things don’t work for quizzes – especially not Doctor Who. We proved that conclusively the last time we tried it. And we’re experienced enough as podcasters to know not to keep flogging [...]
“It was a bit like being on Endor but with Willo the Wisp…” Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas. It’s March, you say? Well, it’s a show about time travel. What do you want from us? Yep. It had to happen at some point, we finally got around to reviewing the Christmas special. Was it a [...]
“Fifty episodes. We have been doing this crazy, stupid, over-ambitious podcast for fifty episodes.” So this is it. Fifty episodes of the Ood Cast- we hope you’ve had as much fun listening to them as we had making them. Thanks to everyone who emailed in and helped us create this ‘Best of…’ episode, we have [...]
“The Doctor’s Mum is so fat.” Greeting Travellers, time has ground to a halt, all moments are now, come play at eternity in the blink of an eye. In this week’s Ood Cast you’ll find 80s blue lightening, Time Lord chat up lines, a review of The Wedding of River Song, some exploding tonsils, Latin [...]
“Listeners, if anyone does know what Laura is talking about, please write in and let the rest of the Ood Cast know…” Hi. How’re you doing today? Welcome to the Ood Cast Store. Within these aging walls you’ll find whole worlds to explore. We stock everything any self-respecting Whovian may require. Why not take a [...]
“I’d like a pint of ginger beer, please.” A thorough and enthusiastic review of The God Complex this week spirals off into a debate as to which holy figure would do most damage in a hotel environment. Not an essential underlying theme to the episode but an interesting diversion and the sort of thing we [...]
“That’s my favourite ever barn dance…” In this week’s Ood Cast we review an episode where Amy waits over 3 decades for something interesting to happen. Regular listeners can probably relate… But good things come to those that … well, you know … so join us as we split the episode into two time streams, [...]
