The Doctor's deadly enemy The Cybermen return!
Filming of the eagerly awaited 主播大秀 ONE Doctor Who Cybermen adventure is underway in Cardiff.
听
The first two-parter of series two written by Tom MacRae (Nine Lives, School's Out) sees The Doctor and companions battle against a new, more deadly breed of Cybermen who are out to convert humanity into their own kind.
听
Producer Phil Collinson says: "The villainous Cybermen are as much a part of Doctor Who heritage as the Daleks and so it's a huge personal thrill to see them back.
听
"I hope that the evil silver giants will terrify a whole new generation of viewers as they confront the tenth Time Lord."
听
The sinister breed of monsters - second only to the Daleks in their infamy - made their first appearance in 1966 and haven't darkened our screens since 1988.
听
Next year will mark their 40th anniversary.
听
Originally created by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis (also the creators of Doomwatch), the modernised version have been superbly redesigned by Edward Thomas's design team and Neil Gorton at Millennium FX.
听
The episodes, which will be seen next year in the highly anticipated second series, are directed by Graeme Harper.
听
Together with David Tennant as the Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose, they also star Camille Coduri as Rose's mum Jackie, Noel Clarke as Rose's hapless boyfriend Mickey, Roger Lloyd-Pack as the monstrous John Lumic, Andrew Hayden-Smith as Jake Simmonds and Shaun Dingwall, who returns as Peter Tyler, Rose's dad.
