This weekend Series 7 will continue with the return of one of the Doctor’s most iconic and persistent foes. It’s those metal monsters we just love to hate, the Cybermen!

And if their comeback wasn’t exciting enough, the episode in question is written by Neil Gaiman whose first contribution to the series was 2011’s acclaimed, and Hugo Award winning no less, The Doctor’s Wife – what’s he got in store for the Cybermen then? Well we’ve been told they’ll be “deadlier” than ever this time round…

“What Neil’s done is write the Doctor in conflict with the Cybermen in a new way,” said exec producer Caro Skinner back in March teasing: “So it’s a huge episode for Matt.” Its next time trail – below – definitely vouches for that! It all kicks off when the Doctor and Co journey to Hedgewick’s World of Wonders. It’s definitely going to be a roller coaster…

Nightmare in Silver airs on Saturday 11th May on BBC One at the later time of 7pm…

Are you looking forward to the Cybermen's return this Saturday?

    Is it me or is this Very Similiar to Victory Of The Daleks?
    A lot of peolpe I know, such as my brother thinks Doctor Who season 7 is terrible.
    But Hey, this is Neil Gaiman and a new Look Cybermen!My favourite combinations for Doctor Who! This should be epic enough to convince my brother and others that Season 7 can be as good as any other season!

    I think we’d really have to wait to see it; the hints I’ve been seeing so far are nothing like “VIctory of the Daleks”.

    I see Joshrr point.

    The Doctor was a spark that created new types/colors of the Daleks.

    And in trailer we hear a line that names the Doctor as a saviour of Cybermen.

    But still, I think it is going to be an awesome episode!

    I’m interested that there seems to be a current-style Cyberman as well as the new style Cyberman in the same episode.

    Hopefully, this means we’ll get the proper, explained transition between the current style and new style that I hoped for.

    @Mario Not original though is it – “saviour of Cybermen.” Ref: Asylum of the Daleks
