The Spirit of the Stairwell

“Right, we’re going to convert this woman, but we’ll start with the bikini areas …”

This week on The Ood Cast, we all go a bit mental. There’s a review of “The Hungry Earth” in which we mercilessly rip into Chris Chibnall before all agreeing that we rather liked the episode and some truly terrifying accent work.

Laura explains why Jon Pertwee reminds her of a sheep that does taekwondo, Andy makes one too many pun-based Dad jokes, Alpha educates us on the provenance of the Silurians and Sigma delves into the psychological differences between men and women when watching scenes involving physical pain.

There’s also some made up news, a subterranean job interview, a visit to the British Secret Service, a segment set behind the scenes at a Doctor Who production meeting and the results of our Underground song competition.

Did you miss us?

So much.

“The only thing missing for me was three of them in a bath rolling down the hillside.”

On this week’s Ood Cast, we face the consequences of leaving too much psychic pollen lying around our perfectly appointed studio and that’s as well as dropping in on the Doctor “acquiring” said narcotic substance, hearing what happened to the frozen Peruvian folk band, discussing what we made of The Shaun of the Summer Wine (sorry, Amy’s Choice) and, last but not least, a visit from a legendary 70s rock group …

So, make your choice …

“Funny how you can say something in your head, and it sounds … fine.”

We sharpen up our canines in this week’s Ood Cast – and that’s got nothing to do with dogs and pencil sharpeners…

Join us to revel in Venetian wonder as we find out what the aftermath of the freak weather was for gondoliers, and how this event affected the course of opera… We drop in on another parents’ evening and hear what happened when a popular fishing programme took the show over to the waterways of Italy.

And that’s as well as the usual mix of Ood Cast news, songs and aural dance…

“Only in Doctor Who would you have a conversation … with a man in the process of having his neck snapped.”

Pull up a comfy chair and relax – it’s nice in here …

In this week’s Ood Cast, we treat you so very, very well. As well as the regular news and the usual review, we explore the musical side to the Byzantium with two songs – TWO!

We do actually talk a bit about Flesh and Stone too, as well as grabbing a sneaky peek at the future of Church fetes, and maybe … just maybe, there’s a Myrka joke hiding in there somewhere …

So, pour yourself something to calm the nerves and have a listen …

We’ll get you sorted out.
