The Ood Cast S02E18 – Wibbley Wobbly What?
Jul 8th
“I’m going to sex it right up … like a sexy bent shoe.”
That’s what happens when you leave two recently engaged Who fans alone with a microphone …
This week, Chris Sigma and Laura present a whole hodge podge of tidbits scattered from the final two episodes, present the winner of the lyrics competition, discover just how tantalising a cup of tea can be and listen to the existential crisis of a Star Whale. It’s a bit schitzophrenic- but with a person who’s had ten other personalities being our starting point, who can blame us?

The Ood Cast S02E16 – Childish Things
Jun 23rd
“He fall into the crack and he never come back … that’s a-Rorrrrrrry …”
This week, the Ood Cast try and ignore the temptation to run around screaming like excited children (we did that after the recording had finished) and take a trip into a land of childhood memories and councils of war …
We see what would happen if the Anti-Doctor coalition had picked a different book from Amy’s shelves and our helpful fly-on-the-wall learns how all those different species put aside their differences to trap their slippery target.
We find time to talk about The Pandorica Opens too, of course, and the weekly song makes a triumphant return …

The Ood Cast S02E15 – Bigger on the Offside
Jun 16th
“I’m trying to think of a biscuit that rhymes with Pandorica …”
On this week’s sparkling Ood Cast, we embrace World Cup fever … and talk about “The Lodger”.
Join us as we find out what happened when the footballing might of Gallifrey’s sole player took on the ringers of Skaro’s planetary playmakers; blow the whistle on a secret habit that the Littlest Doctor thought he had hidden from everyone; discover what some football pundits made of James Corden’s constant presence on our screens at the weekend, sympathise with Laura’s sore throat, get slightly put off by the Master of theatrical gestures and also hear what topical thing Alpha thinks should be in the next series of Who.
So, squeeze yourself through those turnstiles, get a mug of bovril and settle down for kick off with the Ood Cast.
Plunger ball!

The Ood Cast S02E14 – Art
Jun 9th
“Finger nails are good at scratching …”
In this week’s Ood Cast, a host of stars…
We join Richard Curtis as he receives some feedback on his first draft of Vincent and the Doctor, talk about beauty and colour and other giant horse-turkey related nonsense and tag along with a tour of a rather interesting gallery.
And we’re joined by a star completely of his own making: Laura’s dad – who blows us away (like pencil shavings on his sketch pad) with this week’s song.
All that, plus the Ood Cast news and a very special visit from a tiny scale model TARDIS … carrying the one and only Littlest Doctor.
How can you not join us?

The Ood Cast S02E13 – Earthshocked
Jun 2nd
“David Tennant will bring his flugelhorn.”
This week’s Ood Cast is a voyage of discovery.
We take a sneak peak into the TARDIS to see exactly what the Doctor said to Ambrose on the way home from her brave attempt to provoke an inter-species war; we find out what the machinery of the podcast would be like with an essential cog wiped from existence; discover that we can still be touched by an episode ending; present a fitting and lovely lament to the passing of a certain character; and more importantly, realise that it is still possible for one man to disappoint us and make our review section less excitable than usual …
(Begin fist shaking …)
All together now:
CHIBNALL!

The Ood Cast S02E12 – Onwards & Downwards
May 26th
“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 Ood Cast S02E11 – Dream Wedding
May 20th
“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 …

The Ood Cast S02E09 – More Death, Vicar?
May 5th
“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.

The Ood Cast E02S08 – Angel Delight
Apr 28th
“I can save the day from ANYTHING!”
Dare you come out from behind that sofa?
Of course you should. We’ve got a new Ood Cast for you.
And this week, we talk about every aspect of “The Time of Angels” except for the angels themselves, we welcome the first Dalek agony aunt, face up to the most daunting Who villain ever and the littlest Doctor pays us a visit…
We also eavesdrop on the end of a long day for a Weeping Angel as well as a ballad to make even the most stoney-hearted heavenly creature crumble…
So, download and feast on this!

The Ood Cast S02E06 – Bad Education
Apr 14th
“What do you save? Humanity or a huge manatee?”
Tired of hearing the same four voices week in, week out on The Ood Cast? Well, this week we do away with Chris Alpha entirely and replace him with a nice man from the BBC. Our new friend Geoff is polite, well spoken and enthusiastic. His hobbies include underground travel, cyber begging and annoying David Tennant.
And boy does he have a story to tell.
Elsewhere on the show we have even more new voices in our tenuously acronymed feature MOP on Moff, a review of The Beast Below, a sketch about the parent/ teacher interview from hell (or Lancashire) and a lovely song about Star Whales.
Join us next week when we’ll probably be breaking out the ring modulators (and Alpha will be making his triumphant return).
This isn’t going to be big on dignity.
