Confirmed for 2013: Cybermen and Stellar Cast
Confirmed for 2013: Cybermen and Stellar Cast
From the official site…
The Doctor will come face-to-face with some old enemies…
We can confirm that the Cybermen will be menacing the universe once again when Doctor Who returns for a run of eight epic episode in spring, 2013.The iconic enemies will feature in an adventure directed by Stephen Woolfenden and written by the acclaimed Neil Gaiman whose previous episode was the Hugo Award-winning, The Doctor’s Wife.
Starring Matt Smith as the Doctor and Jenna-Louise Coleman as the new companion, the episode co-stars Warwick Davis (Life’s Too Short and Harry Potter), Tamzin Outhwaite (EastEnders and Hotel Babylon) and Jason Watkins (Being Human and Lark Rise to Candleford) as a band of misfits on a mysterious planet…
Steven Moffat, Lead Writer and Executive Producer, told us, ‘Cybermen were always the monsters that scared me the most! Not just because they were an awesome military force, but because sometimes they could be sleek and silver and right behind you without you even knowing. ’ He added, ‘And with one of the all-time classic monsters returning, and a script from one of our finest novelists, it’s no surprise we have attracted such stellar names as Tamzin, Jason and Warwick.’
You can check out Cyber-galleries and enjoy clips from Cyberman stories in their very own Cyber-section or revisit Neil Gaiman’s previous Doctor Who adventure by watching interviews with the writer and clips from The Doctor’s Wife.
The Cybermen last appeared in 2011’s Closing Time but debuted in 1966 opposite William Hartnell’s Doctor in the classic The Tenth Planet. Over the years they have proven constant in their attempts to terrorise the Time Lord, invade our planet and destroy humanity… Secrecy surrounds all future adventures but we can’t wait to find out more about the Cybermen’s latest deadly gambit!
Doctor Who returns on December 25th for the Christmas Special and is back for a run of eight episodes in spring, 2013.

November 9th, 2012 - 7:55pmYowza. This is great news! I’m glad the Cybermen are back, and combined with the mighty pen of Neil Gaiman, then it can only mean great things.
Wow, this site has changed a lot. Last time I was here, the comment colour scheme was blue. I used to be here under the name of 5yberman.

November 8th, 2012 - 5:32pmTrue, there are some upsides to this. Personally, I’ve started collecting figures from ‘HALO’. I only have 3 so far, but there’ll be plenty more. 🙂

November 8th, 2012 - 4:55pmguys i have found this site and someone has seen the new cybermen during filming and they have posted a discription
Very similar to the Cybus ones, but they have tighter armour and Tomb of the Cybermen-like faces!!! Really shiny. The armour is like slim-fitted rubber, similar to the new Sontarans, but silver. Guns fixed on arms, and the leader has an extra gun.
They’re walking softly, slowly, and quietly, like the Hartnell/Troughton era Cybermen

November 8th, 2012 - 9:21amIt’s probably going to be called “The last Cybermen”. To be honest I hate how with so many Doctor Who stories the Cybermen are always scavenging the universe, being a run down load of metal men and there’s only five of them.

November 8th, 2012 - 9:19amCybermen, CYBERMEN, CYBERMEN! YES! I Love the Cybermen they’re my favourite Doctor Who enemy (until the got their Cybus industries redesign). I hope that Gaiman will jump to his senses and make a Mondas Cyber story. I heard about the cast and it sounds fantastic. WARWICK DAVIS!

Emperor Omega
November 7th, 2012 - 11:04pmI know, right? CO couldn’t have picked a worse time for them to alter the scale of the New Series figures. What if these Cybermen are a whole new design? We’d never be able to set them up against any of the old Doctors. 🙁

November 7th, 2012 - 8:53pmI think people will like him. He’s a really nice man, but being nice isn’t always enough. He’s getting my support though, that’s for sure.
