Planet of the Ood Discussion…

Is the BBC throwing real money at Doctor Who now? Because the visuals in this episode were beautiful.. and bit creepy. For those of you who don’t remember, the Ood are a race of aliens that are basically slaves. When we first meet the Ood in Series Two’s The Impossible Planet/The Satan […]
