'Doctor Who' 50th special to feature classic monsters the Zygons

Doctor Who's classic monsters the Zygons are to appear in the 50th anniversary episode.

The shape-shifting race debuted in 1975's 'Terror of the Zygons' opposite Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor and will return in November's celebratory special.

The 3D special - expected to run 90 minutes - will star Matt Smith and David Tennant as the Eleventh and Tenth Doctors, plus companion actresses Jenna-Louise Coleman (Clara) and Billie Piper (Rose).

John Hurt (Alien) and Joanna Page (Gavin & Stacey) will also feature in the one-off, directed by Who veteran Nick Hurran.

Sylvester McCoy has claimed that he will not appear in Doctor Who's 50th anniversary episode.

The BBC has confirmed that the special instalment will feature appearances by David Tennant and Billie Piper, in addition to returns by classic shape-shifting monsters the Zygons.

During a recent interview with Den of Geek, McCoy was asked directly if fans should expect his Seventh Doctor to appear in the anniversary special with Tennant and Matt Smith.

"No," McCoy emphatically answered to the website.

He went on to say: "Somebody mentioned something that the BBC is running on the weekend when it goes out.

"Big Finish have done us proud [with an audio special], they're coming out with something really exciting. The BBC, we've heard nothing though."

Christopher Eccleston will not be returning for the 50th Anniversary special, according to Digital Spy

Eccleston was apparently approached about coming back as the Ninth Doctor but decided not take part in the end.

They cite a BBC source as saying: ?Chris met with Steven Moffat a couple of times to talk about Steven?s plans for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode.?

?After careful thought, Chris decided not to be in the episode. He wishes the team all the best.?

Eccleston was always going to be the most difficult Doctor to get back, so the news comes as little surprise. Still, it?s a huge shame things couldn?t be worked out. Unless this is another ruse?

I wish Chris had come back but Im not surprised he declined. In my opinion, it was always more about Chris than the show and that may have been down to the way he felt he was treated during his time. David had always loved the show and the timeline, to me, he is the most important Doctor that needed to come back because he loved the saga and was still within the right age range.

If I could choose two Doctors to interact within the realities of real age etc then it would be Matt and David.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
