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 - 10:23amJust re-watched Ed Stradling’s interview with Moffat. He was asked “when are we ever going to see the return of the Zygons?” Moffat replies with “Who knows?……..well i know.” Clever *******!
Joe
April 3rd, 2013 - 10:01amand yes, John Hurt as the master would be amazing.
Joe
April 3rd, 2013 - 10:01amwe will DEFINITELY get the Daleks. The question is, which ones? hopefully not the paradigm, i still hate them. If the paradigm do appear, i hope they get destroyed by a special weapons dalek or something….or even better, Davros!
I wish Davros would appear, see the paradigm and have them all exterminated. “your design is inferior! you must be destroyed!”

April 3rd, 2013 - 9:59amif it is Trenzalore, they will probably add some CGI to it to make it look more authentic.

April 3rd, 2013 - 9:40amI think it’s called ‘The Two Doctors – Yes I know there was one back in 1985 but this is our version!’ By Steven Moffat
This was a joke by the way. 😆

April 3rd, 2013 - 8:22amI love the slightly new faces, they make the zygon look more scary, no offence to the actor underneath.
Dr who
April 3rd, 2013 - 8:21amYes we have the anniversary is on trenzalore
Dr who
April 3rd, 2013 - 8:20amNo it all continues I guess the question will be answered in the special but the finale may reveal what it is and the consequences may happen in the 50th
Dr who
April 3rd, 2013 - 8:18amYep I love the zygons….so no to you

April 3rd, 2013 - 7:36amI hope they don’t rehash the 5 Doctors by just throwing in lots of popular enemies and old Doctors.
So far this looks so awesome though

April 3rd, 2013 - 12:35amDavid Tennant must have been so excited when he heard that he’d encounter The Zygons in the 50th.

April 3rd, 2013 - 12:20amHave we really reached the point where every farm they film on must be the Fields of Trenzalore?

April 3rd, 2013 - 12:19amWell apparently some Daleks have been seen on set and it wouldn’t surprise me if they brought the Master back.
