Death of a War Lord

The Welsh actor, Philip Madoc, died on 5th March 2012. Madoc is most well known among Who fans for his role as the War Lord in final Troughton story, The War Games. He also appeared alongside Tom Baker in the classic Brain Of Morbius as Solon. Less well known are his appearances in the Krotons (Eelek) and the Power of Kroll (Fenner). He also appeared in the film 'Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.', making him (along with Bernard Cribbins) one of the few actors to appear in both the TV series and the film spin-offs. He also appeared in the Big Finish audio dramas Master and Return of the Krotons. Read more about Philip's life in his obituary in The Independent. There's a great series of pages on his roles in Who here. The Whoniverse just got smaller.

Perceptions (Part One)

Return of the Zygons?

Doctor Who executive producer Caroline Skinner may have dropped a hint on one of the returning foes for Series 7.

As we've reported here, last year it was revealed that a couple of classic monsters from the 60′s and 70′s will be back.

In an interview with the producer, SFX asked if we might see the Zygons again and her answer was simple: “Wait and see.”

Skinner also teased that episode 1, written by Steven Moffat is, “going to blow everybody’s mind.”

She added that not all of Series 7′s scripts are written yet, “But we’ve got a lot of them and the ones that are written are really, really epic and very exciting.”
