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 S02E17 – The Big Shebang
Jul 1st
“It’s like dissecting a kitten. It’s just not as cute when it’s all in bits everywhere …”
On this week’s bumper and rather euphoric Ood Cast, the reverie of a season finale goes to our heads … or is that the wine?
Either way, we have loads of fun, and its probably unintelligible to anyone who wasn’t there. Sorry about that. Well, we’re not – you don’t have to pay for this …
As well as our late discussion of whether Steven Moffat pulled off his first attempt at a finale, we have a bit of a nose around a museum gallery of unusual fossils, find out how Rory gets on at a job interview, drop in on the results of the fire safety investigation into the TARDIS explosion and see how many of us it takes to stop Andy talking his way through the entire show.
We’re almost at the end of our season, with the finale just around the corner … but are we threatened by how good The Big Bang was?
You bet we are…
(This episode also features guest artwork by the extremely talented Mr Jonathan Monkhouse)

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 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 S02E10 – Underwater Love
May 12th
“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…

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 S02E07 – Chocks Away
Apr 21st
“Would you like some cake? Dalek cake?”
Yep, the Daleks are the scariest of all the enemies the Doctor has ever faced. And they now serve Earl Grey …
This week on the Ood Cast, the boys are left alone to discuss Victory of the Daleks, we get a Speech Therapist to analyse the speech patterns of the tin-plated despots in an attempt to see whether their problems are just psychological, and we’re treated to a glimpse of what happened when some of them agreed to attend a group therapy session…
So sit back, relax and get your nearest mutated Kaled to serve you a brew. Oh, and would you like a biscuit with that? As reliable as they may be at improbably balancing tea trays on sink plungers, they always forget the digestives…
Stupid Daleks.
