The Ood Cast Guide #17: Macra

A rule or pattern that specifies how a certain input sequence (often a sequence of characters) should be mapped to an output sequence (also often a sequence of characters) according to a defined procedure.

Ah. No. Now that there is a “macro”, isn’t it?

Macra are giant, crab-like and crabby in all sorts of ways, living on gases which would be poisonous to humans and prone to eating one or two ape descendants when peckish or feeling rather peeved after a hard day.

When the Tenth Doctor discovered them prowling underneath the motorways of “New Earth”, he called them the “scourge of the galaxy” – a race which once owned and ruled over a large empire. However, when the Second Doctor found them, they were roughing it in a gas refinery – brainwashing the inhabitants of a nearby holiday camp into continuing the production of the vital gases they need to survive. They were masters of manipulative mind control techniques, duping their RC humans into keeping them alive and putting on a fake smile in the process.

The Ood Cast S03E03 – Claymation

“It’s like asking Superman to weed your herbaceous border… ”

An exciting landmark episode of The Ood Cast this week as we conduct our very first interview with someone who is actually involved professionally with Doctor Who.

Listen as we struggle valiantly to maintain a thin veneer of calm while quizzing Mr Clayton Hickman on Sarah Jane, The Brilliant Book, his time at Doctor Who Magazine and anything else we think would be sensible and interesting to talk about.

Then continue to listen in horror whilst we get over excited and ask him to divulge secrets to Season 6 and which monster he would get intimate with to save the universe? All this and a telling off, a lost bet, a murder, tales from the wilderness years and an Elton John song about the dark side of fandom.
