The Ood Cast S01E01 – Beginnings

It’s here. The Ood Cast: Episood 1. (That's right, we're busting out puns right from the get go - that's just how we roll.) The most important thing we want everyone to know before we start (and we say it on the podcast too) is that we love the show. Utterly. Even when we are disappointed by what we see, we love it. Even, it seems, when we have quite large, uber-geeky reasons for never wanting to see that hour of TV again, we still do. And we still go and buy the DVDs. Because, to us, Doctor Who isn’t something we can take or leave. It’s almost the thing that has been with us since we were wee bairns in the highlands. Or small children from the south of England (delete according to the way you wish to think of us). In the words of countless Mitchell characters in Eastenders (so I’m told), “It’s family”. And it is. Chris has always said the Doctor has had a massive effect on the way he chose to do things (I’m still a little unsure about the blazer and the celery in the lapel, although I’m sure we’ll all get used to it), but for the three of us who make up the male contingent of the podcast, it’s something that rings a – cloister - bell. (Ha! See what I did there?! Oh, never mind) Laura brings a fresh and sharp view to proceedings to prove that we are just old school idiots sometimes. And that sometimes we do have a point. But not all the time. We would readily admit that we are sometimes critical. But it’s simply, and only, because we love the show and like to sit around daydreaming about what we’d like to see happen next, or how something should be done. That could be just me. And sometimes, life really doesn’t come to any harm if you ask a few questions about things. Join us for our little journeys through (limited) Time and (cramped) Space. We’d all love you to. This song is ending, but the story never ends ... I'm kidding, that was a terrible line.
