The Zygon Who Fell to Earth - Wikipedia The Zygons were a race of metamorphic humanoids. They originated from the planet Zygorbut often tried to migrate away from it. Zygons were solidly built humanoids with large, cone-shaped heads. Their heads, arms and torsos were covered in suckers, and they had deeply inset faces. Zygons had maroon blood and spoke in a gurgling whisper. They were stronger than humans TV : Terror of the Zygons and longer-lived, with an average lifespan of seven hundred to one thousand years old. These stings could stun, maim or kill. They left large welts The Zygon Who Fell to Earth the affected area. PROSE : Doctor Who and the Loch Ness MonsterThe Zygon Who Fell to Earth of the Zygons They also had the ability to transform members of other species into Zygons, with the side effect of creating a telepathic link between the The Zygon Who Fell to Earth Zygon and the one that induced the change. They had venom sacs located in their tongues. TV : The Day of the Doctor. Young Zygons were called hatchlings and were slimy and pale with shorter limbs. Hatchlings were mute, but much faster than adults. A Zygon is easily hypnotised. Zygons had a deeply ingrained fear of fire. Zygons were hermaphrodites. At the start of their lives, they had an almost white colour and were more The Zygon Who Fell to Earth and graceful, without suckers. They became orange -coloured, were covered in suckers and became more stocky and masculine in appearance after being sterilised. The greatest rank a Zygon could attain was "warrior engineer". To become a warrior engineer, a Zygon must undergo sterilisation, a process which makes them more aggressive and single-minded. Zygons were able to produce electricity bolts from their hands that could stun humans or other Zygons or disintegrate them into The Zygon Who Fell to Earth of hair and skin. TV : The Zygon Inversion. Zygon technology was partly biological, with an organic look. This was exemplified by the Skarasena large, cybernetically enhanced creature from their homeworld. Zygons were also known to depend upon the lactic fluid of the Skarasen for their survival. TV : Terror of the Zygons Their use of organic ships was well known. One of the most important Zygon achievements was their use of body-prints. Usually, the Zygons would capture a specimen, such as a humanand put them in a special receptacle. A Zygon could then take the form of this specimen, mimicking both voice and appearance. This body-print needed to be renewed every two hours, while the prisoners were kept alive but unconscious. TV : Terror of the Zygons However, in some circumstances they were able to adopt the shape of the specimen without keeping them in a receptacle, although they still needed the specimen alive. TV : The Day of the Doctor At some point they gained the ability to keep the shape of a deceased specimen, as long as they did not need any more information from them. They also gained the ability to forge a telepathic link with another being and take the form of a someone from their The Zygon Who Fell to Earth. TV : The Zygon Invasion. Though they generally took the forms of humanoidsthey could also mimic creatures of diverse sizes and shapes, such as dogscattle and horses. To control the Skarasen, the Zygons used Trilanic activators. Zygons frequently used molecular dispersal to get rid of corpses. Their ships tracked the life-signs of the Zygons and would bring the corpse back to the ship if a Zygon was killed. TV : Terror of the Zygons Another Zygon discovery was called the "amber sleep", which was a type of suspended animation. Zygons were divided into clans, each with a different culture. Zygons measured distance in remars. Zygons were rather fond of board games and worshipped a diety called Kaatu. The Alliance of Races. According to one account, the Zygons were originally at war with the Xaranti. During this war, both the Zygon homeworld, Zygorand the Xaranti home planets were destroyed. Refugees The Zygon Who Fell to Earth a refugee fleet, and the ship on Earth was contacted. TV : Terror of the Zygons. Inthe Zygons were among the races who joined the Alliance The Zygon Who Fell to Earth Stonehenge. They came to Stonehenge and helped imprison the Eleventh Doctor in the Pandorica to "save" the universe. TV : The Pandorica Opens. At some point before the 12th centurya Zygon ship was damaged and forced to land on Earth near Devil's Punchbowl in Scotland. They had a Skarasen with them which, though still an infant at that point, provided them with the lactic fluid they needed to survive. Over the next years, people around the area turn up missing. They were investigated by the Tenth Doctorwith one of them impersonating Elizabeth I. After the real Elizabeth killed her impersonator, the Zygons implanted themselves into stasis cubesplanning to wait until Earth was more suitable for conquest. In the late 19th century, a Zygon became a member of a travelling freak show and later impersonated Queen Victoria. A Zygon ship was trapped under where the Savoy Hotel was. TV : The Power of Three. Another ship from Zygor arrived on Earth in Though they had brought two Skarasen, their minds were damaged by the solar radiation during the destruction of Zygor. One was killed during repairs. Though the The Zygon Who Fell to Earth attempted to conquer Earth anyway, starvation and the Tenth Doctor forced them to abandon their plans. In the 20th centurya Zygon spaceship landed in a Brentford quarry. The Zygons of Devil's Punchbowl decided to take over Earth and physically adapt it to an environment more suited to their species. After Patricia died, the Zygon assumed her form in her honour. Several people stationed there were killed, but the survivors were able to drive the Zygon into the icy water where it perished. The Zygon " Torlakh " in the earlyst century. In the lateth and early 21st centuriesthe Zygons Torlakh and Kritakh were deployed on Earth, The Zygon Who Fell to Earth they took the forms of Bob Calhoun and Michael Kirkwood respectively. They then began to go The Zygon Who Fell to Earth nuclear power plants around the world, so that 70 years later the planet would be more suited to Zygons and they could hand the planet over to a Zygon invasion force. The plan backfired when Kritakh began to believe he was Michael Kirkwoodand began to see a psychiatrist about his dreams of being a Zygon. His doctor, Lauren Andersonwas turned into a Zygon by Torlakh, and she went to see him again. However, she decided to help Michael stop Torlakh. They put the real Bob Calhoun and Michael Kirkwood in the hospital, and Torlakh left to continue his life on the run. Lauren, however, also was forced to live on the run, when Torlakh killed many of her co-workers at the hospital. She left, but not until after she killed Torlakh while he was in The Zygon Who Fell to Earth form. Inthe Zygons that were frozen in woke from their stasis cubes and infiltrated UNIT, gaining access to the technology in the Black Archive. To prevent them using the technology, Kate Stewart activated the countdown to a nuclear warhead beneath the Archive. Before the countdown reached zero, the Tenth, Eleventh and War Doctors temporarily erased the memories of the original Kate, Osgood and McGillopas well as their Zygon impersonators causing them to forget which ones were human and which were Zygon. Both Kates cancelled the detonation, and the humans and Zygons were able to create a peace treaty between them whereupon the Zygons would live in secret on Earth. When no one was looking the Zygon copy of Osgood slipped the original's inhaler back to her. Two years latera rebel faction of Zygons, led by Bonniebegan to undermine the ceasefire. Bonnie had taken the form of Clara Oswaldand was determined to expose the 20 million Zygons living on Earth and find a land The Zygon Who Fell to Earth their own, TV : The Zygon Invasion but this threat was defused by a contingency developed by the Twelfth Doctor involving two Osgood Boxes.

  • The Hinchcliffe/Holmes Era of Doctor Who (1975-77) Matt Hills
    ‘Gothic’ Body Parts in a ‘Postmodern’ Body of Work? The Hinchcliffe/Holmes Era of Doctor Who (1975-77) Matt Hills (1) The names Philip Hinchcliffe and Robert Holmes may not be greatly familiar to many academic readers of this volume, unless, that is, they also happen to be fans of the (1963-1989, 1996, 2005-) BBC TV series Doctor Who. Hinchcliffe was the producer of this series on all episodes originally transmitted in the UK between 25/1/1975 and 2/4/77, while Holmes was script editor on all material broadcast between 28/12/74 and 17/12/77. However, he went un-credited in this role on stories where he was named as writer, due to BBC regulations which forbade script editors to commission from themselves (see Howe and Walker, 1998). In story terms, Philip Hinchcliffe produced ‘The Ark in Space’ through to ‘The Talons of Weng-Chiang’, whilst Holmes script-edited stories running from ‘Robot’ through to ‘The Sun Makers’ (1977). Under Hinchcliffe as producer, Holmes also wrote ‘The Ark in Space’, ‘The Deadly Assassin’ and ‘The Talons of Weng-Chiang’, and effectively wrote, or at least heavily reworked, ‘The Pyramids of Mars’ and ‘The Brain of Morbius’ (on-screen, these were attributed to the pseudonyms Stephen Harris and Robin Bland). Today, Philip Hinchcliffe is a regular contributor to DVD commentaries and features accompanying ‘his’ Doctor Who stories. Robert Holmes passed away on 24th May, 1986: his overall contribution to Doctor Who is the subject of a documentary on the DVD release of the (1985) story ‘The Two Doctors’.

Throughout his tenure, friends and foes alike highlighted the latest incarnation’s wrinkled, somewhat cadaverous visage, grey hair, and scrawny body, the Doctor being variously described as a ‘desiccated man crone’ (‘Robot of Sherwood’), a ‘grey-haired stick insect’ (‘Listen’), and a ‘skeleton man’ (‘Last Christmas’).

McCoy William Hartnell - Biography Plus: Anthony Ainley - The Daleks - Tom Baker A 1960s Classic: The Invasion Ray Cusick Interview FREE FOR USE OF PUBLIC Back in 2000, I had an idea for a website that celebrated 20 television shows that had influenced television viewing habits over the previous 60 years, that were loved by millions, or were timeless classics. Of course, this was my own particular choice and therefore very subjective. What’s one man’s junk etc. Unsurprisingly, Doctor Who was one of those shows, even though at that time it was taking a rather longer than expected sabbatical. Over the last twenty years there’s been no shortage of writers wanting to share their love of the world’s longest running science fiction series and on the following pages are a selection of some of them. It’s amazing to think that nearly sixty years has passed since we first entered that police box in a junk yard in Totters Lane and were whisked away on one of television’s greatest adventures. Adventures that are still unfolding today. If you want to read more then pop along to the website at televisionheaven.co.uk where, as well as Doctor Who you will find reviews on over a thousand shows, articles (some serious, some light hearted), biographies and a fair bit of television history.
