Jodie Whittaker’s Time Lord clashes with them in the 19th century in a “darker” new series out next year.
And the plot involves the part-human, part-machine monsters inspiring author Mary Shelley to write iconic horror novel Frankenstein.
A source said: “This new run is much scarier than Jodie’s first year and will *definitely put the frighteners on fans. Things are about to get darker for the Doctor.”
The Cybermen have not been seen since they shot Peter Capaldi’s 12th Doctor in 2017, causing him to regenerate as Whittaker. They first appeared alongside original Time Lord William Hartnell in 1966." |
it does sound good.
If it's going to feature Shelley then hopefully Byron and Polidori as well. Frankenstein wasn't simply concocted by Shelley on her own was it BBC? Villa Diodati and all that.
Plus it's not known how much of the novel was actually written by Percy Shelley either.
Given the current state of the show. I'd expect the episode to give us severe whiplash by going from gothic horror to primary school history lesson in a fraction of a second.
The Doctor- Awwwwwww, I love Mary Shelley me. She was brilliant. She dared to write at a time when women were expected to be seen and not heard, and yet her stories have inspired millions throughout the centuries and shown little girls all over the universe that they too can do anything they set their mind to. She's my hero!
Yaz- She did all that?
The Doctor - Yep!
Graham - One heck of a woman!
Ryan - Yeah. Awesome.
