The BBC has released a new image for Doctor Who series 10 ahead of a 60-second trailer for the series premiering on BBC One tonight during half-time of the FA Cup quarter final match between Chelsea and Manchester United.

The image features Peter Capaldi as The Doctor, with Pearl Mackie as his new companion Bill Potts, and Matt Lucas as Nardole.

Series 10 is Capaldi’s final after the actor announced he’ll bow out in this year’s Christmas special which will also see the departure of lead writer Steven Moffat.

Speaking last month, he said: “One of the greatest privileges of being Doctor Who is to see the world at its best.

“From our brilliant crew and creative team working for the best broadcaster on the planet, to the viewers and fans whose endless creativity, generosity and inclusiveness points to a brighter future ahead.

“I can’t thank everyone enough. It’s been cosmic.”

Doctor Who returns to BBC One on Saturday 15 April with episode 1, The Pilot.
