3. Ood On The Loo (Pond Life)

Between Series 6 and 7 of NuWho, the BBC put out five minisodes of Pond Life, a series of shorts depicting what the Doctor and the Ponds were getting up to in-between main episodes.

Highlights of these shorts include the Doctor running away from some Sontarans while holding a surfboard, the Doctor bursting in while Amy and Rory are in bed, and this gem from the third episode.

Rory, in his dressing gown, is off to do his business. However, when he opens the door to his bathroom, he finds a bloody Ood just sat there on the toilet, asking if he can be of any assistance.

The timing is perfect, as is Rory's reaction, and the music that accompanies the skit. All of this is without mentioning the sight of a big tentacled alien casually propped up on the loo as if it's the most normal thing in the world.

Pond Life was a proper treat.
