A teasing first-look photo has been released of the final episodes of the upcoming series of Doctor Who.
The action shot shows the Doctor (played by Peter Capaldi) faced with an onslaught of Mondasian Cybermen – a classic enemy that has not been seen on the show for more than 50 years.
Guess who's back!
