The Ood Cast

“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 a veritable pick n’ mix of fan favourite sketches, a harp rendition of our theme (see, we’re dead classy), our most requested songs and all sorts of memories from how we stumbled our way onto the Dr Who podcast scene.

Not to mention Laura wetting herself again over the Myrka having a poo.

She’s an odd one.

But we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Right, we better get started on episode 51…

“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 mispronunciations, atrocious Birmingham accents and a chronological retelling of the story of River Song set to music.

There’s also the usual Ood Cast News, mimes, flights of fancy and words of whimsy.

Look us in the eye and tell us you’re not excited.

“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 feel we do well at The Ood Cast.

When not debating the finer points of sacred vandalism or making oblique references to ill-fated Australian pop stars we also find time to cross-pollinate Doctor Who with classic British sitcoms, listen to At Home With The Minotaurs, spin a bit of Fat Boy Slim and squeeze in an inordinate amount of mooing.

Mooooooooooooo!

“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, attend a dinner party hosted by fictional robots, give head rubs, talk earnestly about the meaning of things, get new equipment and discover who Gregory McCaramel is.

News, reviews and haikus to chase away post-Doctor Who blues.

It’s a kindness.

“… as if every single fibre of him was steeped in the blood of kittens.”

With gateaux, mockney and added Americans, the whole Ood Cast are finally back in the room together as they gently fillet and fry (with a wooden pan) Mark Gatiss’ latest episode, Night Terrors.

Enjoy a trip to a UK retail favourite, poke fun at small children, analyse the London Riots in the context of time-travel and hear us accuse politicians of being a bit rubbish.

We wouldn’t want to be in Westminster right now. We bet they’re quaking in their boots.

If all that sounds a bit full-on then fear not, we also talk a lot about Doctor Who, between songs of revolution and early 90s bubblegum techno-pop.

Something’s in the wardrobe – and it’s not Mr Tumnus.

“It’s a little, tiny gypsy. I imprisoned him in my nose.”

Ood cast, ood cast, uber alles…

The Oods are back with a vengeance – spluttering slowly to our recording booth and pulling together another slice of silliness and sycophancy for your delectation.

Sadly missing Chris Alpha for the inaugral episood of Season 4, we’ve roped in a colleague from across the pond to add some salt to the rim of our margherita of joy – Erik from the Dr Who Book Club.

So come on – let’s kiss Hitler.

Kill.

We meant kill.
