Guest starring Warwick Davis (Star Wars), Tamzin Outhwaite (EastEnders) and Jason Watkins (Being Human), the episode will be titled ‘The Last Cyberman’ and will air as the penultimate episode of the new series on Saturday 11 May.

Gaiman told Themusic.com.au: “It’s about identity, it’s about responsibility and it’s about porridge.”

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat previous hinted: “I wanted to make [the Cybermen] creepier, and a bit more active. I thought we had gone as far as we could with the stumpy Cybermen. I wanted to do the colder, deadlier version and I was interested in Neil giving it a ghost-story feel. Neil’s a good ghost story writer.”

Series 7 Part 2 begins on Saturday 30 March on BBC One and BBC America.
