THIS monster line-up shows just some of the terrifying foes Doctor Who and sexy sidekick Rose Tyler must face in the new series of the sci-fi hit.
Telly bosses have pulled out all the stops to ensure fans will be diving behind the sofa when the Time Lord returns to BBC1 on Saturday.
We can reveal that The Doctor (David Tennant, 33) and Rose (Billie Piper, 23) face danger both from old enemies and new. They'll fight demonic shape shifters The Krillitanes, who have taken over a school.
They also have to battle a new set of killer clockwork droids, dressed like they're ready for a masked ball.
Deadly
And the new series features a howling mad werewolf trying to get its fangs into both Rose ... and Queen Victoria.
The ghostly Gelth, who popped up last year and survived by taking over human corpses, return to threaten the Earth,
And the Doctor's sinister old foes The Cybermen are back — just as deadly but with a new streamlined look.
The Cybermen and Gelth join forces in a bid to wipe out the human race in the climax of the series.
Writer Russell T. Davies, 42, said: "It was just the most exciting thing I've done. It's huge.
"When I showed the script to the BBC they were so excited.
"We are talking epic Hollywood blockbuster stuff here."
Dr Who is on BBC1 on Saturday at 7pm.
