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 3rd, 2013 - 12:01amThe Zygons are back for the 50th. Any tiny doubts I had about the special are fast evaporating. Just hope all the doctors appear in this, then it truly will be the greatest event in who history. Can’t wait for November now.

April 2nd, 2013 - 11:11pmI personly don’t think this is trenzalore as I imagined the fields of trenzalore as possibly a battle field

April 2nd, 2013 - 9:29pmI love how they are keeping them very close to what they was in the classic series to change them too much would ruin it for fans and the 50th anniversary

joe
April 2nd, 2013 - 8:19pmi think it will be called “Doctor Who?”
Matt smithy
April 2nd, 2013 - 8:15pmDon’t worry, I was able to find another, just searched “50th annivercary filming”
Dalek The Supreme
April 2nd, 2013 - 8:14pmPerhaps Lethbridge-Stewart’s daughter will aide the Doctor against this threat? It wouldn’t make sense to just use her in one episode and then she doesn’t appear again.
Dalek The Supreme
April 2nd, 2013 - 8:13pmI’d love there to be Tom Baker or Sylvester McCoy, but I’ll be extremely disappointed if the Daleks (Both Paradigm and bronze, like in ‘Asylum’) don’t show up.
Dalek The Supreme
April 2nd, 2013 - 8:12pmActually, every season of the New Series has had at least one returning character from the Classic Series:

Series 3: Macra, the Master, the Fifth Doctor (Time Crash)
Series 4: Sontarans, Supreme Dalek, Davros
2009 Specials: The Time Lords
Series 5: The Doctor’s dark side (Like, and yet unlike), Silurians
Series 6: Cybermats
Series 7/50th Anniversery: Ice Warriors, Zygons

DOCTOR WHO ONE
April 2nd, 2013 - 7:58pmTurns out the video has been deleted, that’s why you can’t find it.
