Doctor Who: Planet of the Ood Review (S04, EP03)

Written by Keith Temple, produced by Susie Liggat with executive producers Russel T Davies, Julie Gardner and Phil Collinson and starring David Tennant as The Doctor and Catherine Tate as Donna, Planet of the Ood is another one of those Doctor Who episodes that isn't disliked by fans, but is generally ignored by them and considered to be nothing special.

Personally I think it's a beautiful episode - it shows us how badly the Ood are treated, and it also shows them get revenge. All the actors are great and we get to see what natural Ood look like when they're born - they have a hindbrain in their hands, which the humans remove in order to make the Ood obey them, and we get to hear the Ood's brilliant singing for the first time. Oh, and Ood Sigma is honestly one of my favourite aliens in Doctor Who - I just think the Ood are very likeable.

It's not the best episode ever, but it's got some great moments and as I've already said, I love the Ood so it was great to see them get revenge for the disgusting way they were being treated!

8.5/10
