Doctor Who’ s fear some monsters The Judoon are making a comeback.

Jodie Whittaker is returning to her role as the Time Lord next year.

The new series of the BBC One show will feature the rhino-headed, brutish intergalac­tic police as one of the Doctor’s adversarie­s “on a deadly mission”.

The Ju do on first appeared on screen around 12 years ago, with David Tennant and his costar Martha Jones.

An episode of the new series will also star Neil Stuke, known for his roles on Doctor Foster, Silk and Silent Witness.

“No! Sho! Blo!,” showrunner Chris Chibnall said.

“The Judoon are storming back into Doctor Who in full force and the streets of Gloucester aren’t safe.

“If anyone has anything to hide, confess now. The Ju do on are taking no prisoners and will stop at nothing to fulfil their mission!”

He added :“The whole team on Doctor Who are delighted and scared in equal measure to welcome them back, one of many treats we’ve got in store for viewers next series.”

“And we’re over the moon (with Judoon), to be welcoming the wondrous Neil Stuke as guest star. We can’t wait to show you what happens when his path crosses with the Thirteen th Doctor .”
