>>In order to make the masks cheaply, the design had fronds covering the mouth, with dialogue indicated by a simple illuminating ball, cutting out the need for expensive mouth prosthetics to match mouth manipulation and vowel movements.<<

is "vowel movements" what you meant? (And I read it first as "bowel...")

Or did you mean "cutting out the need for expensive mouth prosthetics to match mouth manipulation and vowel sounds."

It needs breaking up, I suggest:

In Part IV set a month later the Doctor admits that he had rescued the Ood from the Androvax Conflict and was taking him back to the Ood Sphere, only to have misplaced him. Meanwhile the Ood acts as Rory and Amy's butler, making them meals and cups of tea.

Looks good to me, press the button!

When I took the photo, not only did I not suspect that I'll write about the Ood one day, I also completely failed to realise that the next time I'd visit the Museum of Science & Industry would be for a h2g2 meet up: A87743965
