10 Best Doctor Who Characters In One Scene Only

10. Ood Elder (The End Of Time)

We've seen a lot of Ood in Doctor Who, from their initial appearance as a main villain in The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit, to a supporting role in The Doctor's Wife, to a cameo in Revolution Of The Daleks. At the time of writing, the creatures are also set to appear in an upcoming episode of Series 13, which is rather exciting.

But one particular Ood we haven't seen much of at all is the Ood Elder, whose Doctor Who screentime consists of a single scene in The End Of Time: Part One.

The power of the Ood is quite underrated by Doctor Who fans, and this guy is on a whole other level above the rest of his species, able to give the Tenth Doctor a visual sneak-peek at events that are yet to pass: the Master, Wilfred Mott, Joshua Naismith, Lucy Saxon - how are they all connected? Us viewers don't yet know, but the soothing tones of Brian Cox make the Ood Elder a captivating figure regardless.

We also love how this guy's brain is exposed on top of his head, like, yeah, I'm so badass that I don't even need a skull! The Ood Elder may be lacking in screentime, but it's clear that he's an incredibly powerful creature.
