Pet Shop Boys: 'Electric'

Details of the Pet Shop Boys new album were revealed today on the duo's official website. Electric will be released worldwide on July 15th, and is the first to appear on their own x2 label via Kobalt. Recorded in London, Berlin and Los Angeles, and produced by Stuart Price, Electric features eight new tracks and a cover version of Bruce Springstein's The Last To Die, whilst singer and rapper, Example performs on Thursday.

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special: Return of the Zygons!

Following yesterday's first script read-through for the Doctor Who anniversary special, publicity photos were released online by BBC Cardiff. 

Matt Smith, David Tennant, and Jenna Louise Coleman joined their latest co-star, the Welsh actress Joanna Page, best known for sitcom, Gavin & Stacey.

Today, the Corporation revealed that 'classic' series monsters, the Zygons will also feature in the forthcoming story. Often cited as Tannant's favourite Who baddie, these shape-shifting aliens' only television appearance was in Terror of the Zygons, way back in 1975.

Filming on the special began today, and the newly re-designed Zygon seen here was pictured on location, outside Neath, South Wales.
