Third 'Who' game to have original monsters

The third episode of Doctor Who: The Adventure Games will feature original creatures.

Executive Producer Charles Cecil told DS said that the new monsters will be part of the official canon of the show.

"What you'll also do is come across creatures that we've created, rather than, you know... they're very much part of the canon... And they obviously go through Steven [Moffat] and this team, but we've got some really, really nice creatures," he said.

"We had it one way or the other. One is that we've created creatures that could never be done in a million years on telly, or the other is create monsters that actually could be done on telly, so that it could go on telly. Because right from the beginning there's a sense that this is very much part of the canon, Piers [Wenger, the show's executive producer] said there's not 17 episodes, it's 13 episodes and four interactive episodes, so we're always seen as part of the canon.

"But yes, we've got some pretty cool monsters which you'll see in the third one."

Cecil also revealed that the coming episodes will adopt a formula like the first two - with one being stealth-based and the other having more exploration - and that the Tardis may play an important part at some point.

"I've got to be very careful, but all I can say is that wouldn't it be cool to, as the Doctor, to be able to control the Tardis and do all sorts of cool things with the levers and launch it and everything. And it would be, and I'm talking hypothetically," he said.

Second episode Blood Of The Cybermen will be available to download for free in the UK from Saturday.
