The Zygons Return for the 50th Anniversary Special
The Zygons Return for the 50th Anniversary Special
From The Official Site…
We’re delighted to confirm that the Zygons are returning to Doctor Who for the show’s 50th anniversary special.
Aside from flashbacks these malevolent shape-shifters have only appeared once before, threatening Earth in the Fourth Doctor adventure, Terror of the Zygons. Despite the fact that their solitary outing was over thirty years ago they remain a popular old enemy and in the 2010 episode, The Pandorica Opens, they were amongst the massed aliens said to be gathering above Stonehenge. Later, in The Power of Three, we learnt that Zygons had one of their ships under the Savoy Hotel in 1890 and apparently replaced half the staff with imposters! But this time they really are back…
We’ve already confirmed that in the anniversary special Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman will be joined by the returning David Tennant and Billie Piper. Screen legend John Hurt is also in the cast and earlier today we revealed that Joanna Page (Gavin & Stacey, The Syndicate) would also be appearing in this eagerly anticipated adventure.
We’ll be brining you more news soon!

April 2nd, 2013 - 6:57pmWell, Zygons….whoop-de-doo. But really, am I the only one who’s disappointed that there is no inclusion of the older Doctors?? Dr Who has now been back 9 years, still no sight of Sly, Tom Baker, Colin Baker or Paul McGann. Wake up Beeb – this IS the anniversary that counts…where’s the old crew????

1 of them looks like the 9th / 10th Doctor Tardis Police Box prop.

The Whofan101
April 2nd, 2013 - 6:26pmWhat makes you think it’s Trenzalore? Just because it’s in a field doesn’t mean that it’s that field! Plus, I’m not sure that there would be a medieval tent there

April 2nd, 2013 - 6:22pmYes the zygons are back at last the returning monster that has never returned has finaly returned 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Tardis’nt
April 2nd, 2013 - 6:17pmThis looks really scary, and true to the original design! lets hope that this is a scary episode like blink, and that the Zygons are not ruined by their dialogue like the slitheen in SJA!
Dr who
April 2nd, 2013 - 6:15pmYes those fields must be trenzalore
Tardis
April 2nd, 2013 - 6:05pmIt has to be trenzalore all the doctors meet at trenzalore where old enemies are waiting for the fall of the eleventh and the question
Tardis
April 2nd, 2013 - 6:04pmUm it is a field as in fields and trenzalore is fields so this is most definely trenzalore…….the question will be answered
Tardis
April 2nd, 2013 - 6:01pmLooks good
crazy guy
April 2nd, 2013 - 5:43pmi haven’t seen an episode with them in but i always wanted to see one with the zygons in. also i dissagreee with time and relative dimens but he is entitled to his opinion
MasterKasterborous
April 2nd, 2013 - 5:40pmIn retrospect I think I agree with you. You’ll get to a point where nothing can ever be posted until it’s happened which would be pointless. Sorry for being a pain…
dalek eternal
April 2nd, 2013 - 5:32pmi hope this special is a really scary one as the zygon looks quite scary and they can use it to make a good scary episode
dalek eternal
April 2nd, 2013 - 5:30pmThere was a medieval tent there and a horse with a stuntman riding it and over the over side of the field was tens tardis with parts of smiths tardis nearby unassembled on the floor unfortunately a very rude woman asked us to leave which she had done to many people which had offended a lot of people as it was mostly what all the fans there were talking about the rude woman did own the farm but the actualy film crew were very nice and told people what they was doing and told us that david tennant wasnhaving his lunch on his trailer i also saw steven moffat there and a member of crew said they were about to have a top secret meeting. There was also a path leading behind where they were filming so i had a quick look and it sounded like they were filming a sword fight or something not sure as i was unable to see from the path but a lot of people was coming to listen
booboo
April 2nd, 2013 - 5:24pmdid you see a Zygon
dalek eternal
April 2nd, 2013 - 5:23pmi dont think its trenzalore as trenzalore would be on an alien world i think and the field they were filming on was set up with a medieval style and had a stunt man riding a horse so this is earth
booboo
April 2nd, 2013 - 5:21pmwhat did you see going on?
