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!
It's the original Mondasian Cybermen, returning for eps 11 & 12 of the new series!https://t.co/F6G9YQrVCb#DoctorWho pic.twitter.com/fOchIo4KaY— Doctor Who Official (@bbcdoctorwho) March 6, 2017
The creepy masked creatures, which Peter has described as his favourite Doctor Who foe, will return in episodes 11 and 12 of the 10th series.
Filming of the episodes, written by Steven Moffat and directed by Rachel Talalay, is currently under way in Cardiff.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
