The Ood are humanoid in appearance with coleoid tentacles on the lower portions of their faces. They require a translator device, a small sphere connected to their "mouths" by a tube, to facilitate speech between them and humans. The tube was originally connecting their external brains to their body, but to use the creatures, far future humans would amputate the brain and instead fix the translator sphere where the brain used to be. There appears to be no gender differentiation among the Ood, and they say they require no names or titles as they are "one", but they do have designations given to them by humans such as "Ood 1 Alpha 1" or "Ood Sigma". The Ood are empaths, sharing among themselves a low-level telepathic communication field. When reaching out with their telepathic fields, it can be heard as singing.
The Ood are a slave race to humanity, performing menial tasks, and it is claimed that every human has an Ood servant. In their debut story "The Impossible Planet", it is established that the Ood offer themselves for servitude willingly, having no goals of their own except to be given orders and to serve. It is also claimed that they cannot look after themselves, and if they do not receive orders, they pine away and die. However, mention is made of a group called the "Friends of the Ood" who are apparently lobbying for Ood freedom.
When I picked the kids up from school the rumour was they were filming Dr Who in Victoria Park so we all ran down to have a look. I only had my little camera which doesnt have much of a zoom so no close ups. I managed to make out two different scenes be filmed. One where there was football being played and another where the Dr falls out of the Tardis. I also got to see the Tardis being set up and dismantled. The most exciting thing to happen in Canton for yonks!

Clouds on the boards around the redevelopment of offices on the corner of Rathbone Place and Gresse Street.
The blue boards complete with the clouds appeared quite recently and are clearly visible from my office window near Warren Street tube station. I have been wondering what they were covering up ever since and had already discounted the Berners Street Hotel and the former site of the now demolished Middlesex Hospital buildings on Mortimer Street.
This is looking down Rathbone Place with Gresse Street heading off left where the clouds are.
Gresse Street was once used as a set for a Dr Who programme, The War Machines, which was filmed in 1966.
