Sontarans Return in Doctor Who Series 6

A photo of the filming at Lafarge Cement Aberthaw has revealed that there will be an appearance from the Sontaran race in Matt Smith’s second series, which is due to begin in April. It is believed that the filming was for Matthew Graham’s two-part story ‘The Rebel Flesh’ and ‘Gangers’, which are positioned as the fifth and sixth episodes of the series.

It is currently unknown whether the Sontarans are the main enemies of the story, or if there is just a cameo appearance from this single Sontaran Warrior. However, the Sontarans do fit in with what we already know about the plot for this episode, as there have been mentions of clones.

Doctor Who Matthew Graham Writes for Series 6

The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine has revealed that Matthew Graham will be writing a two-part story for Series 6, which will form Episodes 5 and 6 of the new series. Graham previously wrote the much despised story ‘Fear Her’, which was voted as the worst story of the revived series of Doctor Who in the magazine's poll of episodes last year.

This makes the announcement that he will be writing for the new series quite surprising, although Steven Moffat does highly praise the work that he has done on the two-parter. Moffat says that Graham has "given us a thrilling and terrifying two-parter. The Doctor will face a dilemma the like of which he’s never seen before."

A comical preview of a production meeting on his episodes suggest that the Doctor will have a flashback of Sarah Jane Smith with the Daleks on Skaro, which has led to some people speculating that the Daleks will return in this two-part story. However, it is always hard to tell with Steven Moffat what is and isn’t true, so this should all be taken as speculation for the moment.
