This year’s adventures will feature the return the Judoon and the Hath, reports the Daily Star.

The Judoon made their debut in 2007’s ‘Smith and Jones’, transporting Martha Jones’ hospital to the moon.

The rhinoceros-headed creatures were last seen as part of the Eleventh Doctor’s army in 2011’s ‘A Good Man Goes To War’, having previously returned in 2008’s ‘The Stolen Earth’, 2010’s ‘The End of Time: Part Two’ and 2010’s ‘The Pandorica Opens’. They also appeared in 2007’s The Sarah Jane Adventures story ‘Prisoner of the Judoon’ and a number of novels and comics.

The Hath first appeared in 2008’s ‘The Doctor’s Daughter’ on the planet Messaline. Two Hath were also seen at the bar that Jack Harkness is in at the end of 2010’s ‘The End of Time: Part Two’. The fish-like humanoids have also featured in several Doctor Who comic stories.

It was also revealed this week that the first episode of Season 9’s two-part finale will be a single-hander with just Peter Capaldi and no other cast members.
