Doctor Who: The Ood Cast

Latest Episodes:

Doctor Yes Jan 11, 2020

Show notes

"Can you slide shambolically?"
"You can - it hurts though. It's hell on the knees."
Reviews: Spyfall Parts I & II
Air Date: 1st January 2020 & 5th January 2020
Song: Spyfall based on Skyfall by Adele
Additional notes: It really doesn't seem that long since we were all together but it is DEFINITELY over a year. Scary how fast time moves but probably appropriate given our subject matter. In terms of amazing making of info for this episode - we've upgraded our editing equipment and lost our sound effects library in the process so the sound of the omelette being whisked was recorded LIVE in the Ood kitchen. Wow!

The Battle of Ra’s al Ghul Dec 14, 2018

Show notes

“The battle of number 46 plus a naan bread is a lot easier to say.”
Reviews: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos
Air Date: 9th December 2018
Additional notes: It was great to have all the Oods back in one place for this episode. As well as the review, we look back on Series 11 as a whole and think big thoughts about wonderful Doctor Who.

Doctor Hygge Dec 07, 2018

Show notes

“A deep, steep inlet of the sea...”
Reviews: It Takes You Away
Air Date: 2nd December 2018
Song: Portal Connection based on Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog
Additional notes: Yes. We were slightly drunk during this episode. That might be seen as slightly unprofessional but hey, ain't nobody being paid for this s*!%. Recognise the voice of the President? It's none other than Erik Stadnik, legendary podcaster and the fifth Ood (of our hearts).

Which? Nov 30, 2018

Show notes

“The Morax King looked a bit like Earthworm Jim…”
Reviews: The Witchfinders
Air Date: 24th November 2018
Song: I Vomit Mud on You based on I Put a Spell on You by Nina Simone
Additional notes: As well as the normal Ood review, this specially extended episood has a bonus review from comedic superfans Gemma Arrowsmith (of Big Finish fame), John Henry Falle and Jenny Rowe. There's also a sketch co-written with Michael from the Tin Dog Podcast. It's a busy one.

Kerpow! Nov 23, 2018

Show notes

“We are the candy floss surrounding the razor blades of public opinion…”
Reviews: Kerblam!
Air Date: 17th November 2018
Song: Pop based on Stop by The Spice Girls
Additional notes: Back together again for this episode. And many thanks to listener (and honorary Ood) Emily Jenik for her Yaz sketch this week. Also Kerblam! is the first Doctor Who episode with an exclamation mark in the title. But Kerpow! is by no means the first Ood Cast episode with an exclamation mark. We are excitable in that way.

Assassins in Need Nov 16, 2018

Show notes

“People are unfathomably cruel to each other. Nationalism and tribalism … that turns people into caricatures of the worst aspects of humanity.”

Reviews: Demons of the Punjab
Air Date: 11th November 2018
Song: Both Sides of the Border based on Both Sides of the Story by Phil Collins
Additional notes: Once again the Oods are split up for this episode but it’s probably appropriate for the subject matter that we’re geographically dispersed. If you’re interested in seeing the Children in Need segment that we mention, there’s a great article on it here.

Angry Grey Zombie Potato Nov 09, 2018

Show notes

"If the Pting guzzles energy then the Doctor guzzles knowledge…"
Reviews: The Tsuranga Conundrum
Air Date: 4th November 2018
Song: Nom Nom Nom based on You'll Be Back by Hamilton Original Broadway Cast
Additional notes: Chris Sigma has been wanting to make Loz do a Hamilton song for YEARS. The Doctor mentioning the musical during the episode was all the excuse he needed. Thanks, Chibnall. CHIBNALL!!!!!

Spider-Van Nov 02, 2018

Show notes

"It was like being slapped directly on the nose by a side of ham…"
Reviews: Arachnids in the UK
Air Date: 28th October 2018
Song: Spider-Doc based on Spider-Man by Moxy Fruvous
Additional notes: This week's song is insanely catchy and took Loz a huge amount of time because she had to create all the layered harmonies from scratch.

Racist Fonz Oct 26, 2018

Show notes

"To navigate by our hearts is only, and VERY, human..."
Reviews: Rosa
Air Date: 21st October 2018
Song: Stormcage based on Starman by David Bowie

Snakes & Ladders Oct 19, 2018

Show notes

"Apologies for those of you listening through very high fidelity headsets as you'll probably be able to hear everything that's sliding around my eustachian tubes..."

Reviews: The Ghost Monument
Air Date: 14th October 2018
Song: No song this week either due to Loz still being ill (sorry)
Additional notes: This episode was recorded using the equipment we used for the very first Ood Cast ever and was edited mostly in Saudi Arabia - very suitable for an episode concerning a desert planet.
