The Cybermen will return for Doctor Who’s next Christmas special, according to a report.
Filming has already begun for this year’s seasonal story and the South Wales Argus published a photograph
depicting the metallic monsters roaming a cemetery coated in fake snow. The Cybermen all bore the Cybus Industries logo, meaning that they are the parallel universe versions previously featured in the second series.
The local paper quoted Newport resident Janet Hancock, who stumbled upon the filming: “I was going past the cemetery walls and saw lots of white smoke… a security guard said they were filming Doctor Who - it was very exciting”.
Showrunner Russell T Davies has previously indicated that the Christmas special will be set in the Victorian era. Unconfirmed reports also suggest that former Ballykissangel and Goodnight Sweetheart actress Dervla Kirwan has been cast in a key role.
