Or it could be a non-scary monster whatsoever, as we're all adults and nothing has scared us like that since we were kids.
It's all PR gumph, they say it every time they're bringing in something new.
Mind you "We tried to make a genuinely scary new monster, but the budget ran out and time was pressing and tbh we just could NOT be bothered this week so we quickly taped something together and sent it out" isn't quite as snappy is it?

I don't know, last time we heard it from so many of the cast and crew was about the silence, which... yes, they had a point.
I tend to find the difference between "Supposedly scary monster" and "Actually scary monster" can be measured by who's talking about it. Anonymous Tabloid Insider describes the tritovores and the snowmen as terrifying. The cast and crew say it about the silence and the weeping angels.
Whatever this creature is i genuinely am impressed with it...looks a LOT like a HR Giger design...specifically Alien! And i think it may be in the first episode due to the scene with Clara and it emerging behind her....could be wrong...
But i am all for its unveiling.
And tbh the nly genuinely scary monsters on the show they have described have rang true...The Silence look so dreadfully eerie and their concept is even more eerie, and the Weeping Angels are genuinely frightening too....so i am all for more in that vein being created....and i found the SNowmen very jumpy and looked very impressive as foes too
Also someone pointed out the hands have that 'clamp' shape about them in some screen shots.
However others have said too that the ice warriors are supposed to ne in the submarine story which apparently isn't where that pic is from. And there's a pic of that creature behind three creatures with rounded helmets with round goggles in them, I hope those ones weren't the ice warriors as they look to unlike the originals for me to take to them.
Who do you reckon is going to play the big man - Sydney Newman? The man who made it all happen. The absolute pivotal piece of casting.
I literally have no idea but I cannot wait to find out. I think it's gonna one of the best things in relation to DW that Gatiss will have done as well.

In TPo3 rhere is a montage of cubes in people’s everyday lives. At 11m 38s there is a shot of an office desk with a pyramid of cubes, three post-its attached. In HD the post-its read “meeting 9.30", “SYDNEY NEWMAN 50", “Phone Jim !”.
It’s always made me wonder about Jim Broadbent to play Sydney Newman. He’s available for filming having finished filming a French film at Xmas with Jeff Goldblum and Lindsay Duncan.

Never noticed that about the cubes.
Whoever's going to play Sydney is going to have to use a Canadian accent. So, maybe a Canadian actor is going to be used. Is Josh Hartnett available? :cool:

I didn't notice that. Probably the best meta-reference since the TV in Remembrance of the Daleks.

Could be a scary new version of an old monster...
ooh yes that too

I think it's an Ice Warrior. Although it does bear a similarity to the monster from Alien.

I think it's them too to be honest.
They are supposed to be Mark Gatiss's submarine episode with Liam Cunningham and David Warner.
Oh right i guess that would make sense
Plus I think Clara is wearing the same outfit she has in that scene on the alien planet which is unlikely to be the same episode as the Ice Warriors.
I thought the creature could be an unmasked Ice Lord, for tjree reasons-
because I thought the sleeve/ arm colour and texture reminded me of the old ice warriors- see the shoulder area in this pic:

And the chin looks not unlike the chin makeup here

As it's the 50th anniversary year of one, and the 25th anniversary year of the other...
How about a Doctor Who / Red Dwarf crossover sketch?
Already kinda Done!
Not a bad idea.
