The Zygon Invasion and The Zygon Inversion are both succinct and fitting episode titles, but unsurprisingly, they weren't the only ones that were in the mix.

Other possible candidates were "The World of the Enemy" for the first episode, and "Truth or Consequences" - a name of the town featured in the episodes, as well as the moniker used by the Zygon rebel group - for the second.

Harness didn't say how far these alternate titles got, but it's not unusual for TV episodes and even movies to switch titles late in the game.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
