Many have previously pointed out some shady figures in "The Big Bang", but personally I haven't physically seen it before. But my Twitter friend Kelley Riebel has found some crude screenshots from the episode, all of which were taken by Kalieezchild. Worth posting, I assume, and fairly conducive for speculation.
EDIT: DWSpoilers tells me that they're stands to the sarcophagi, and I think he's right, but most people will probably believe what they want to believe.
At first glance, these figures look more like shadows than Headless Monks, which were mentioned in "The Time of Angels"; but cycling through these pictures, we notice that it soon becomes obvious we're looking at something.
Watch "The Big Bang" again; you might even see a flash of robe. So what are they? If you've watched the Prequel to "A Good Man Goes to War", you'll probably suspect that these are the hooded monks. And you could be right.
Thanks again to Kalieezchild for the screenshots and Kelleil for pointing them out to us.

Hmmm - and who needs to hide under a cloak and hood when they're around humans these days?
Headless Monks . . .
Anyone notice the sarcophagi is leaning in the first picture but standing up straight in the second one?
this is a very good spot...if you watch close enough the one behind the sarcophagus moves.
I totally disagree with this theory.
They just look like props (or shadows of props).
I think some people are looking for things that just aren't there.
I'm more than willing to be proven wrong though.
Do you think this could tie back into the mysterious figure from TIA? The one lurking behind the shed when the future Doctor is shot? The Moff does enjoy subtlety...
There isn't a figure there its the stand the prop leans against.
They're definitely just stands covered by dark cloth. You can see them clearly later in the episode after the sarcophagi (and, for some reason, the cloth and some other bits) have vanished. I posted some comparison screenshots here: http://lunchbot1.livejournal.com/119966.html
Perhaps they're related to the mysterious cloaked figure that was never explained sitting in the church behind Wilf in 'The End of Time'.
