Peter Capaldi has long talked about his desire for his Doctor to meet the original Cybermen, from Mondas.
He’s got his wish.
The Mondasian Cybermen, not seen since The Tenth Planet, will return in episodes 11 and 12 of the new series, alongside Capaldi as The Doctor, Pearl Mackie as Bill Potts, Matt Lucas as Nardole and Michelle Gomez as Missy. The episodes, written by Steven Moffat and directed by Rachel Talalay, are now filming in Cardiff.
The new series of Doctor Who begins on BBC One on Saturday 15 April.
