It’s been 40 years since we first met them, 26 years since we last saw them working with The Sea Devils, but now the Silurians are finally back, in tonight’s episode of Doctor Who. See the synopsis and schedule below.

It’s 2015 and the most ambitious drilling project in history has reached deeper beneath the Earth’s crust than man has ever gone before – but now the ground itself is fighting back.

In the latest episode of the time-travelling drama, written by Chris Chibnall, the Doctor, Amy and Rory arrive in a tiny mining village and find themselves plunged into a battle against a deadly danger from a bygone age.
