Doctor Who 60th Anniversary: 10 Huge Rumours And Leaks You Need To Know
5. Two Unexpected Classic Monsters Have Been Spotted On Set
File this one under "What the hell Russell", because some of the monsters potentially appearing in the 60th anniversary are rather unexpected, to put it lightly.
During a night shoot in Cardiff earlier this year, onlookers spotted two strange-looking alien costumes participating in filming: one white and furry, the other green, tall, and insect-like.

Most fans had no idea what they were seeing, but the more hardcore Whovians out there recognised the furry fella as Beep the Meep, a truly obscure character who first appeared in a Fourth Doctor comic-strip in the 1980s.
Equally as obscure is the insectoid chap, who looks like a Wrarth Warrior, a species which also appeared in that same Fourth Doctor comic-strip. The sole purpose of Wrarth Warriors is actually to deal with the Meeps, so it makes total sense for these two villains to be together in the 60th.
Were these costumes there to misdirect fans? Or is RTD seriously including Beep the Meep and a Wrarth Warrior in the 60th anniversary? Maybe it's another Toymaker trick? Who the hell knows what's going on here, but we can't wait to find out.
