Return Of The Ood

They're back - but will they be Beastly?

The Ood, one of Doctor Who's most popular aliens, will return for a brand new adventure in Series Four.

In Planet of the Ood, the Doctor and his new companion Donna will travel to a weird and wonderful alien planet, where she will meet the mysterious race for the first time.

The episode will allow viewers to discover the origins of The Ood and why they behave the way they do – but will the Doctor become their friend or foe?

"We're delighted The Ood are making a welcome return to Doctor Who," said lead writer and Executive Producer Russell T Davies.

"They were last seen falling into a black hole back in Series Two and we think it's only fair for the viewers to find out what the Ood have to say for themselves! Donna is certainly in for a shock."

The fourth series of Doctor Who goes into production this July and will hit UK screens in Spring 2008.
