Title: The Fourth Doctor - Terror of the Zygons Post by: Thascales on March 12, 2011, 12:40:28 pm TERROR OF THE ZYGONS [/size]by Robert Banks Stewart (http://www.kasterborus.com/tardis/baddies/zygon1.jpg) Starring Tom Baker, Elisabeth Sladen, Ian Marter and Nicholas Courtney. Production Code: 4F First Transmitted: 1 - 30/08/1975 17:45 2 - 06/09/1975 17:45 3 - 13/09/1975 17:45 4 - 20/09/1975 18:20 Quote from: The Discontinuity Guide 'A fifty foot monster can't swim up the Thames and attack a large building without somebody noticing. But you know what politicians are like.' There are amusing acknowledgements of some of Doctor Who's visual limitations in a story still remembered for the clumsy puppet Skarasen. The Doctor hears of the Zygon's plans to conquer the Earth and asks 'Isn't it a bit large for just about six of you?'. Like The Hand of Fear, the traditional BBC gravel pit is called upon to be a real quarry instead of some exotic alien planet.

Considering their sole appearance, the Zygons left such an impact on Doctor Who and really need to come back. They have been covered in books and audios, but I want them back on screen. I've heard whispers that it is in the pipeline (which is why they went to such painful lengths to restore the costume for the Experience) so hopefully we will see them again soon.

They have such a unique alien design- they're not just blobulous or generic humanoid. They're got these weird proportions like a strange cactus or what-not. I'd love to see what today's prosthetics could do! |
