An old favourite enemy of Doctor Who will make their long-awaited return to the TV show in the new series.

Onthebox reports the lizard-like Silurians will feature in the series after the show’s new boss, Steven Moffat bowed to fans’ requests to bring back the reptilian foe.

The Silurians first featured in the 1970s episode ‘Doctor Who and the Silurians’ where the creatures, disturbed by the workings of a nuclear facility, release a deadly virus that threatens to end humanity.

They reappeared in 1984 in the adventure ‘Warriors of the Deep’ alongside another favourite – the Sea Devils.

The Silurians will feature in Series Five of the Doctor Who show, starring new Doctor Matthew Smith.
