Doctor Who The Zygon Invasion Preview Clip
The Zygons, a race of shapeshifting aliens, have been living in secret among us on Earth, unknown and unseen – until now!
When Osgood is kidnapped by a rogue gang of Zygons, the Doctor, Clara and UNIT must scatter across the world in a bid to set her free. But will they reach her in time, and can they stop an uprising before it’s too late?

October 31st, 2015 - 4:14pmWhy oh why do people think osgood is a duplicate? Zygons use body print technology and need to have the target in the tech. Thus if she is dead they can’t duplicate her.

October 31st, 2015 - 11:26amTo: Say No To Ashildr/Me, where did you find the synopsis for “Face the Raven”?!
Say No To Ashildr/Me
October 31st, 2015 - 5:44amLooking forward to this episode, but not to Face The Raven. Even though i originally was, i have just found out that Maisie Williams is to appear for a third time in the series.
The plot for Face The Raven says that Doctor, Clara and Rigsy enter a strange street, but they wont ALL make it out alive.
I now think MW will replace Jenna Coleman as the companion. I really, really hope that is not going to happen.

October 30th, 2015 - 11:08pmAnonymous, you didn’t understand Lord President’s comment. It was about being so excited that it’s actually easy to be disappointed. When your expectations are high, you pay attention to every detail. When you don’t expect that much, you overlook some mistakes because, in many cases, it’s better than you expected. As simple as that. The only complaint was about Peter Harness being the writer for the episode.
I hope it’ll be great because it looks fantastic but I’m a bit concerned about it as well, especially after the last two episodes.

October 30th, 2015 - 10:02pmMuch as I quite like the Zygons I would be more excited about the return of the original Silurians and ESPECIALLY the Sea Devils.

October 30th, 2015 - 8:41pmSurely when their memories were wiped In TDOTD it should have only erased up until the point where they entered the black archive so the real Osgood would retain all her real osgood memories and the zygon would retain all of its zygon memories so it should surely remember itself transforming into Osgood and if not it should at least have memories of itself being a zygon so how can there be confusion as to who’s a zygon and who’s a human. It’s not like transforming into osgood completely replaced zygon memories all together otherwise that would be a stupid power to have. Does that make sense

October 29th, 2015 - 4:02pmWhen the Doctors made the Zygons & Humans forget which were which, only one of the Osgoods knew the truth. From what was on screen, I think that was Human Osgood (she had the inhaler last). So I’m thinking maybe the Zygon Osgood was inspired by her. This could mean the Zygon Osgood was trying to live her (it’s?) life like Human Osgood after the peace talks & was the one who died on the plane. It’s also possible Zygon Osgood chose to retain the shape after the death of the Human version for the same reason despite the consequences an anonymous post explains below.
Or, of course, time travel as many others have said.
I’d personally quite like Osgood to be the next companion, whether she’s Human or Zygon. In fact a Zygon choosing to copy a deceased person could be quite intriguing…

October 28th, 2015 - 11:52pmIs it an invasion? Really? Think about it? Question: The Zygons have being living amongst us on Earth since 23 November 2013, unseen and unnoticed. Only now do they decide fight and takeover! So if they’re already here for years, is it an INVASION, or an UPRISING?? Answer: No! Of course it isn’t an invasion! A better title would’ve been: “The Zygon Uprising” or the “The Zygon Revolution”! (In my OPINION)
Doctor Stu
October 28th, 2015 - 10:38pmEveryone is convinced Osgood is a zygote but maybe osgood is the real osgood and its Kate that’s actually the zygon I don’t know I’m clutching at straws

October 28th, 2015 - 8:59pmI’ve rewatched this clip SOO many times and tried to convince myself that the electric zap looks realistic….. But I can’t!! I mean it’s such an excellent clip that to let it down with shabby effects really annoys me as I am a huge Zygon fan!! Other effects in the ep. better not be this bad! Cast yourself back to Easter Saturday 2011, series 6 episode 1: “The Impossible Astronaut”, we were introduced to one of Moffat’s best creations; The Silence! The scene in the bathroom where the Silent zaps the American woman looked so much better and realistic!! That was over FOUR years ago and the electric effects were 1,000,000 times better!! Annoying! But can’t wait for the ep!!

October 28th, 2015 - 3:19pmThis looks really good! I hope it will live up to the hype.
Lord President
October 28th, 2015 - 2:30pmThe only thing that lets his clip down is FX of the Zygon’s laser power☹️ Until this I thought the FX in this series were really good, like top notch quality for TV!!! But these FX in this clip look like 2006 quality!! Really feel like they could have done a better job!

I’m from UK and I do not give ANY negativity before and episode airs. And I’m sure alot of other don’t too.I’m sure other countries comaplain before the episode airs too.

October 28th, 2015 - 1:08pmI think the one in Death in Heaven was a Zygon. The real Osgood needs to be alive for the Zygon copy to keep her form.
