Then a white, furry alien showed up.

The white, furry alien went for a ride in the taxi.
seems to be a completely different scene. the doctor (it’s david’s double) speeds round the corner in the cab with the white alien furry in the back #dwsr pic.twitter.com/PLsK966bPA

The two creatures bear a striking resemblance to a Wrarth Warrior and a Beep, also known as Beep the Meep from the Doctor Who and the Star Beast comic.
If the television show follows the comic, the two aliens are sworn enemies with the Wrarth Warrior pursuing Beep the Meep for savage crimes. This could be another instance of the more intimidating-looking alien being more benign than the cute, furry one.
Night shoots on Axminster Road in Cardiff continued until Thursday, 9 June.
