First look at Sontarans in the Gunpowder Plot

First look at the Sontarans in The Gunpowder Plot

Rory finds a novel way to dispose of a Sontaran in The Gunpowder Plot.

On the 18th October writer Phil Ford and director Gary Russell got to see and play The Gunpowder Plot for the very first time.

Following on from this milestone, the BBC bring you the first clip of in-game footage from The Gunpowder Plot and our first glimpse of the fabulous Sontarans. In this scene Rory and Amy stumble on a Sontaran guard deep in the sewers but Rory takes control of the situation.

The Gunpowder Plot

The TARDIS lands in London, 1605, encountering a group of men who are plotting to assassinate the Head of State. The Doctor, Amy and Rory realise they are at a pivotal point in time but so are two alien races, each of which are more than happy to change history to suit their own ends…

      Those are just rumours that have been going around since last week after smith said he wants to try and do some work in LA. This does not mean he is leaving. It could mean there will be a bit of a gap between filming and that he’ll give it a shot in America and them return to film either the rest or all of the 50th anniversary depending on when they begin filming it. This is not the first time this has happened though, in July 2010 the sun claimed that matt would leave at the end of his second series which of course we’ve now all seen and know the elevent doctors story continues. Smith is also signed on for the 50th anniversary and says he wants to beat tom bakers 7 year run.

    Have a feeling this may come out early COTD did(even though it was an unfinished version…apparently) and SOTVN did too so there’s a chance it could

    I was really hoping that they would use the classic Sontaran design for this game. They were much more fearsome and warrior like. Oh well, looks like a good game though.
