The BBC have announced that classic Doctor Who monsters the Zygons will be returning for the 50th Anniversary Special!
They say:
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 bringing you more news soon!
