“Like mayflies, we are! Fluttering around with no mouths...”
Reviews: Doctor Who Live - The Next Doctor
Air Date: 4th Aug 2013
Additional notes: Peter Capaldi is credited in mega zombie flop "World War Z" as W.H.O Doctor. Did the producers have a secret portal to the future? Probably not, judging from box office receipts...
“I find the sight of a man begging for the lives of his friends… quite sensual.”
Reviews: The Name of the Doctor
Air Date: 31st May 2013
Additional notes: This episode, our season finale, contains our most ambitious sketch to date with 17 podcasters from 3 separate continents getting involved. Thanks to The Doctor Who Podcast, The Tin Dog Podcast, Radio Rassilon, The Minute Doctor Who Podcast, Doctor Who: The Writer's Room, The Doctor Who Book Club, Two-minute Time Lord, Radio Free Skaro and Verity! for their wonderful vocal stylings. Happy summer everyone (or winter).
“We have to get the thrip-wibble to modulate the tharack bar.”
Reviews: Nightmare in Silver
Air Date: 16th May 2013
Additional notes: Guest star Warwick Davis has been in more SF films than you can shake a lightsaber at. But we chose to name this episode after a Ricky Gervais mockumentary he starred in. It isn't very funny. At one point, he gets stuck in a dog flap.
“It was like Batman with old people.”
Reviews: The Crimson Horror
Air Date: 9th May 2013
Additional notes: Two sketches this week had to be completely re-done because Sigma used the laptop's internal microphone to record them by mistake. The Northern gentleman in the first sketch (with a voice like melted chocolate) is special guest star, Jim Atkins. The other one is Alpha. He is trying out a range of accents.
“Overall I enjoyed it ... as I would a drawer of cables.”
Reviews: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
Air Date: 2nd May 2013
Additional notes: The talented chap who provides our theme song this week was one of the brilliant students we met during our recent trip to San Francisco. We climbed a big hill to visit his school. In San Francisco you have to climb big hills to do pretty much anything. It's part of the deal - along with awesome dim sum, killer views and hanging off of trams. Also our thighs got pretty trim.
“It's a thing in a thing in a thing...”
Reviews: Hide
Air Date: 25th April 2013
Additional notes: Immediately preceding the recording of this episode the Ood Cast consumed an entire Thorntons Easter egg that didn't even belong to them. See, we're not all sunshine and smiles ... we have an edge. Try not to cut yourself.
“The Ice Warriors are a double threat, if they could dance they'd be a triple threat...”
Reviews: Cold War
Air Date: 18th April 2013
Additional notes: This entire episode was recorded with all the Oods sitting crossed legged on the floor beside a low table. All except Chris Sigma. He had a luxury bean bag.
“When I saw my wife, I was so aroused I vomited up a fruit salad!”
Reviews: The Rings of Akhaten
Air Date: 11th April 2013
Additional notes: During this week the Sigmas have escaped London and travelled to all three countries in Great Britain. Lots of planets have a north...
"I'll tell you right away who I think is wrong ... The Doctor!"
Reviews: The Bells of Saint John
Air Date: 2nd April 2013
Additional notes: The music in this episode spans some 500 years. The day of release was exactly 5 years after the Ood Cast published their first blog post. Happy Anniversary, us!
"Strax's potato bumble fun."
It's February. And what's the first thing you think of when you think of February? That's right...
Christmas.
So with that in mind, the Ood Cast present their review of the Christmas special - The Snowmen.
What would Strax have done in biblical times? What other tall tales did Clara tell? How did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle explain away Madame Vastra to his agent? Can Jenna-Louise Coleman do just the two accents?
These are all questions. Good ones. And we'll answer every single one of them in a vigorously dramatic format. All that and a couple of spirited musical interludes besides.
Come with us on our hideously delayed sleigh ride of wonder.
IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR.
FEBRUARY.
