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 4th, 2013 - 12:28amI think the real question surely is, what about the Skarasen? How will the Zygons get their special lactic fluid without it? Man that was a scary beast back in the day, back when I was a wee pup and I first saw it.

April 3rd, 2013 - 10:00pmIf that actually happened in the special, I think I might die of excitement. This is why Chris should come back, it’s the only thing missing from the 9th Doctor’s story. If he only returned just for a cameo for a regeneration scene, I’d be so happy with that.

April 3rd, 2013 - 9:53pmi hope that they do not change the style of aliens from the classic series because what is the point of bringing previous aliens back like the ice warriors and having them as a different style

April 3rd, 2013 - 8:59pmno i take it back not on far right… it’s sort of in the middle. and it’s a new series dalek not the classics.

April 3rd, 2013 - 8:31pmBit ironic if they released the Ice Warrior just as it loses the “lego” hand.

April 3rd, 2013 - 6:46pmits was so great to see them filming yesterday the woman who old the farm kicked all the whovians there off she was very nasty indeed everyone was talking about how rude she was although she didnt stop us from seeing filming because it seems us whovians will do anyhing to get a glimpse of filming and ended up climbing up the side of a very steep hill

April 3rd, 2013 - 5:25pmI agree with you there. Hope Sarah Jane and The Brig are mentioned in the special though. And it would be a nice little nod to the Brig if Kate faced the Zygons.
