Doctor Who Series 13: 8 Leaked Details We Already Know
5. ...And So Are The Sontarans
On the subject of returning villains, here's another huge one. Well, the villains themselves are quite small, but you get what we mean.
In November, pint-sized warriors the Sontarans were spotted running down the streets of Cardiff, chasing what seems to be an ordinary civilian past a set of houses.
The interesting thing about these Sontarans is that their design appears to be much more in line with the classic grey Sontaran look, as opposed to the blue look that they sported when they were introduced to the modern series in 2008.
Since then, the Sontarans have had a really odd time in Doctor Who, being used more as comedic relief (via Commander Strax) than as a proper villainous threat.
Strax was a really fun character, but lots of fans have been wanting the Sontarans to go back to their roots and become bad guys once again, and based on these set images, it looks like Chibnall is doing just that.
