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 10th, 2012 - 11:07pmI think the chestplate contains a hidden weapon like the Invasion and the Wheel in Space Cybermen had.

November 10th, 2012 - 9:55pmThe new cybermen design – my thoughts
My first reaction – ok, I like the head sculpt but not the body
My reaction now – I like the head sculpt and hands, and back. Just not to keen on the chest plate.

November 10th, 2012 - 9:37pm(THE NEW CYBERMEN ARE AWESOME) That is what they should have been when they came back. I’m glad they are finally re-disinged cause the CYBUSMEN look too robotic but these ones look close to human which makes them alot better and more serious.

November 10th, 2012 - 10:37amHow about this… A Cybermen picks up a Dalek and throws it over the edge of a cliff or something? I’d like to see a Dalek compete with that!

November 10th, 2012 - 10:32amThey seem to march like the old ones. That was the main thing i liked about the cybermen.
That Whovian over there
November 10th, 2012 - 9:25amThe new Cybermen look great – so much better than the Cybus ones! 😀

November 10th, 2012 - 9:16amI’d rather have the Cyberman win.
In Army Of Ghosts/Doomsday four Daleks annihilated a lot of RTD Cybermen. But with these new Cybermen, maybe they would be able to destroy a Dalek. I hope so, as the Cybermen are my favourite monsters.

November 10th, 2012 - 8:48amIt was either the Ice-Warriors or the Zygons… Mhh… ICE-WARRIORS!
John Smith
November 10th, 2012 - 8:47amCHARACTER OPTIONS!!!!!!! They honestly couldn’t of picked a worse time. AHHHH! RAGE FACE! And I love the new design!
John Smith
November 10th, 2012 - 8:46amThe Cybus ones were way to chunky and clunky. Cybermen should be stealthy, like Weeping Angles. You turn around and then… BAM!!! They’re right behind you. The Cybus ones were all show and no go. I recon that these new Cybermen will be a hit with younger fans and older fans of the show.
John Smith
November 10th, 2012 - 8:43amThey are the Mondas ones. The Cybus ones died out yonks ago. The new look Cybermen are boss. DO NOT DISS THEM! From my point of view I never liked the Cybus design and I’m glad that they’re gone. I wonder what they’re voice will sound like. I hope they’re not all high pitched and annoying like the Moonbase-Tomb of the Cybermen ones. EARTHSHOCK VOICES FOR THE WIN!
John Smith
November 10th, 2012 - 8:41amI’m a bigger fan of the Cybermen compared to the Daleks but I hate to say it but from what I’ve seen of the new Cybermen… Probably not. Maybe… But probably not. They still have those cheesy little arm guns and no “HEAVY DUTY LASER CANNONS!” but you never know. They could be tougher than they look.
John Smith
November 10th, 2012 - 8:39amOh! Did you guys see the redesigned Cybermen? I managed to find a picture of them! YOU HAVE TO SEE THEM!

November 9th, 2012 - 9:42pmJust seen the new design. Love it! Still bummed about no 5 inch figure, though. 🙁

November 9th, 2012 - 9:21pmNot keen on the new design, i prefer the Cybus ones to be honest, must be in the minority of fans who do.
Mr Evil Fez
November 9th, 2012 - 9:16pmTotally agree Booboo, didn’t like them at first but now I think they’re better than the cybusmen and I want a action figure of them! 😉
Doctor Stu
November 9th, 2012 - 9:07pmAah, I don’t like the new cybermen as much as the old ones. It would be cool if they were mondas cybermen and they have came to earth to fight the cybus ones
booboo
November 9th, 2012 - 9:03pmbrilliant, much prefer them
