Doctor Who is back this autumn with Peter Capaldi playing The Doctor in the ninth series; The Magician's Apprentice.

The new season returns to BBC One on Saturday September, 19, and this is the latest picture from the premiere of the series which is expected to be packed with adventure.

The picture shows The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) as he is joined by Clara Oswald (played by Jenna Coleman) running from an explosion.

Other cast members include Michelle Gomez who plays Missy and Game Of Thrones' Maisie Williams and Paul Kaye who will make guest appearances on the show.

Series nine will see The Doctor meeting monsters old and new as he comes face to face with Missy, a city of Daleks, deadly mercenaries called the Mire, ghosts and more.
