Michelle Gomez (Bad Education, Green Wing) will join the cast of Doctor Who, playing the Gatekeeper of the Nethersphere when the series returns on 23 August.
Speaking about the role, Michelle Gomez said: “Well of course Peter Capaldi is our next Doctor, which makes complete sense. I’m thrilled to join him. Well, you would be wouldn’t you?”
Lead writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat, added: “I’ve known Michelle for years, and I’m thrilled to welcome her to Doctor Who. She’s everything we need – brilliant, Scottish, and a tiny bit satanic.”
Filming is well underway for Series 8 of Doctor Who. Guest stars confirmed to join Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman in the new series, which will air on BBC One this Autumn include Frank Skinner, Ben Miller, Tom Riley, Keeley Hawes and Hermione Norris.

June 30th, 2014 - 8:55pmWhats Osgood Mean ?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
July 1st, 2014 - 7:25amOsgood is a characters surname. She appeared in ‘The Day of the Doctor’.
dan23uk
June 30th, 2014 - 8:51pmYes that’s a old cybermen head Form classic series
Obsie
July 1st, 2014 - 1:37amAs seen in “Dalek” or somewhere else we can but wonder.
Am I a Good Man?
June 30th, 2014 - 8:24pmHere’s my three theories!
1). The Cybermen are launching a full scale attack on Earth, civillians are ordered to arm themselves against them.
2). The Cybermen have somehow been enlisted by the Time Lords to capture The Doctor and return him somehow to Gallifray. Hence why none of the Cymbermen appear to be attacking.
3). The crack in time reopens both in our universe and from the Time Lords side. The Cybermen get sucked through put somehow from different ages hence the old head. Perhaps the Doctor and the Tardis then get pulled through the crack resulting the Tardis exploding thus recreating the crack and spreading it through out time and space. The Doctor gets trapped on another planet inside the crack which turns out to be Gallifray.
Let me know what you guys think.
Dr who
July 3rd, 2014 - 7:16pmUrm theory three the silence blew up the tardis,cracks are finished now
Dalek Smith
June 30th, 2014 - 7:50pmAnybody else get the feeling that now a big name actor, no offence to Matt, in Capaldi is the doctor, more people are wanting to appear alongside him, hence the bigger guest stars.
doctor who whovian fan no 1
June 30th, 2014 - 7:43pmis that her from the Christmas special

DOCTOR WHO ONE
June 30th, 2014 - 6:09pmQueens Arcade ?.
That’s where Jackie Tyler was right ? ya know, when the Auton’s tried to invade Earth in ‘Rose’ right at the start of series 1 !!.

June 30th, 2014 - 9:22pmYeah! I’ve been there
100,000BC
June 30th, 2014 - 5:55pmHurrah!
Earth invasion!
Cybermen (hope they do it right)!
Classic cybermen!
UNIT!
Kate and Osgood (two of my favourite characters in modern Who)!
There’s only really been The Power of Three and the Day of the Doctor that have really stood out for me as proper modern Earth Invasion recently and in Day it was pretty much drowned out by the 50th and other storylines (not a bad thing for the 50th itself) and Power was amazing to start off with but tailed off nearer the end.
We need more Earth Invasion! I find it makes a good, identifiable, strong Doctor Who story: Modern world, modern people, ‘real’ threats (i.e. not just concentrated in one place).
Obsie
June 30th, 2014 - 8:28pmBut which Osgood?
Whovastron
June 30th, 2014 - 5:38pmFrom some pictures on YouTube it seems that Osgood is sporting Matt’s bow tie and Tennant’s red trainers…
TW.
100,000BC
June 30th, 2014 - 5:46pmYeah, you can see her feet behind Kate’s. Would make sense, she is like a ‘Whoniverse’ Doctor Who fan – when she sees the new Doctor, she’ll be like, “Have to buy that jacket!”
Seeing as though the ‘whoniverse’ doesn’t do Baker scarf replicas, do you reckon Doris (or the Brig) knitted the one she wore in Day?
whofan4ever
July 8th, 2014 - 7:05pmIt was given to the brigadier from the fourth, who gave it to Kate, who gave it to Osgood
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
June 30th, 2014 - 5:05pmgreat to have earth invaded! nice to see kate back and osgood judging by the article pictures.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
June 30th, 2014 - 5:09pmalso that looks like a classic cyberhead in pic 3!
Rowan Walsh
June 30th, 2014 - 5:46pmI noticed the head as-well! Maybe a meeting of the originals and lumic ones 😀
100,000BC
June 30th, 2014 - 5:47pmYou’re right! It does seem to be a classic cyberhead!
Rowan Walsh
June 30th, 2014 - 5:00pmSo happy to see a invasion of earth again! Not enough these days
James A
June 30th, 2014 - 6:10pmAgreed. Its nice to see one where its big enough for people to notice, like from the series 2-4 finals.

June 30th, 2014 - 4:27pmwar of the cybermen.what they should do is try and get the costume from every cybermen story and well
FIGHT!!!!!!!
James Halho
June 30th, 2014 - 4:03pmSo much for ‘no spoilers’ on this site… 😀
booboo
June 30th, 2014 - 4:07pmits open air filming, clearly marked as spoilers and the cybermen have been officially confirmed
obey the whispermen
June 30th, 2014 - 3:47pmYey Osgood from the 50th is back and she’s wearing Matt Smith’s red bow tie. Interesting
Tardis’nt
June 30th, 2014 - 3:23pmYES! It was inevitable, but YES! AAAND an Invasion Cyby head too!
Tardis’nt
June 30th, 2014 - 3:24pmIt’s looking like a full scale cyber invasion, with different advances in cyber technology!
Tardis’nt
June 30th, 2014 - 3:25pmOOH, and UNIT are back!
Matthew Littledyke
June 30th, 2014 - 2:43pmExcellent Unit and theCybermen are back
Doctor Stu
June 30th, 2014 - 2:19pmOmg loved her in bad education
Obsie
June 30th, 2014 - 1:58pmBeing awkward, is it Peter Capaldi wearing the wedding ring or The Doctor?
Obsie
June 30th, 2014 - 1:51pmSo glad that Jemma Redgrave is back as Kate Stewart to usher in Peter Capaldi’s Doctor. It’s like a comfort blanket (says a lot about me).
Pete DaCald
June 30th, 2014 - 1:41pmThese look fantastic!!! And is that a CLASSIC Invasion era Cyberman head lying damaged at the foot of the SilverNightmare Cybie??? I have always wanted to see Cybermodels from different eras team up (as there should have been Tomb era Cybies in Attack of the Cybermen still in the Tonbs but instead were all disappointingly modern – these awesome pics look like this may be a childhood dream cone true!!!). WooooooWho, can’t wait til August!
simon
June 30th, 2014 - 1:33pmThe Woman in the bottom pic is Jemma Redgrave (Kate Stuwart). and the other must be Osgood. But the pic look good
obey the whispermen
June 30th, 2014 - 3:49pmIf you look on the link near the picture it will take you to a website and theres a picture on their and you can catch a glimpse of her in the background wearing a bow tie
simon

There is an old cyberman head destroyed on the floor!! Looks like an ‘The Invasion’ Helmet :O EXCITED!!!!
James A
June 30th, 2014 - 5:04pmOMG – Osgood is now dressed as the Eleventh Doctor – bow tie n all xD
742
June 30th, 2014 - 1:02pmI think the woman next to the Doctor is going to be like Tasha Lem.
The Twelfth Doctor
June 30th, 2014 - 1:10pmOr the Rani…
The Holographic Doctor
June 30th, 2014 - 12:47pmThis episode is looking fantastic so far !
KORSAIR
June 30th, 2014 - 12:16pmThis time round I hope there are no silly removable heads/hands and super speed.
booboo
June 30th, 2014 - 12:17pmtotally agree with that
Danny
June 30th, 2014 - 3:26pmI hated them being ultra fast.
Dalek1234
July 3rd, 2014 - 4:05pmme too it just wasn’t right! when the cyberman removed its hand I thought of mr black in sja!
obey the whispermen
June 30th, 2014 - 12:13pmwhy cany there be some new monsters
Danny
June 30th, 2014 - 3:26pmThere is. There are 2 new monster so far.
The Twelfth Doctor
June 30th, 2014 - 11:49amI think that the main villain will be Rassilon who is sending Cybermen and Daleks etc to bring the Doctor to Gallifrey.
Drwho
June 30th, 2014 - 11:58amThat would start another time war though,so unlikely
The Twelfth Doctor
June 30th, 2014 - 12:07pmHow? If Gallifrey is in another Universe, no one would be able to attack it. BOOM!
Dr who
July 3rd, 2014 - 7:23pmCause rassilon would not ally with the daleks and Cybermen when they are enemies or the timelords
The Twelfth Doctor
July 20th, 2014 - 3:39pmCybermen are not enemies of the Time Lords. They haven’t been seen on screen together.
the astronaut of death
July 20th, 2014 - 5:21pmI think Cybermen are enemies with all species as Cybermen want everyone to become like them including time lords
the astronaut of death
July 20th, 2014 - 7:00pmthe twleth doctor
of cause the cybermen are enemies of the time lords they are enemies of everyone
ice warriors
daleks
zygons
humans
Obsie
June 30th, 2014 - 11:45amPlease let this be a story in which the Cybermen are shown to be more formidable and in a better light than previously; not just a cameo.
James A
June 30th, 2014 - 5:06pmTotally agree, they haven’t had much screen time since… well, The Next Doctor back in ’08, too long, man!
Anonymous
June 30th, 2014 - 6:52pmYeah, I agree too, it’s about time we had a decent Cybermen story and hopefully this is it
