Episode two of the Matt Smith era fast approaches with a gallery of ghoulish images. Now, where's that sofa...?

After the success of last weekend, the new series of Doctor Who thunders on with another Steven Moffat penned episode, The Beast Below. And there's quite a cast in there too!

Joining the delightful Matt Smith and the delectable Karen Gillan are OSCAR-nominated actress Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda), David Ajala (The Dark Knight) and Terence Hardiman (The Demon Headmaster). She is no stranger to the world of Doctor Who having voiced Alison in the animated online adventure, Scream Of The Shalka whilst Ajala appeared on stage with former Time Lord David Tennant in the RSC's 2008 production of Hamlet.

Okonedo is playing the mysterious character 'Liz Ten' but she is also joined by the even more enigmatically named 'Poem Girl', played by Catrin Richards. And if that weren't enough, it features Amy Pond's first trip in the TARDIS and the Doctor takes her to the distant future where she finds Britain in space.

Starship UK houses the future of the British people as they search the stars for a new home. But when Amy explores she encounters the terrifying Smilers and learns a deadly truth inside the Voting Booth...
