Titled The Haunting of Villa Diodati, a first look teaser clip sees Jodie Whittaker and the gang travel back in time to 1816.

They pay a visit to the esteemed poet and politician Lord Byron and the Shelleys, where they spend the night exchanging ghost stories of nightmarish proportions.

When we say the tales jump off of the page, we mean that in the most literal senses, as a range of famous monsters crash the party.

The Doctor says in the footage: "How about writing the most gruesome, spine-chilling ghost story of all time?

Next, Lord Byron reads aloud the title of a creepy-looking book: The Tales of the Dead.

Literature buffs will know that 1816 is when Lord Byron, John William Polidori, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Claire Clairmont spent the night together at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva.

Finding themselves trapped inside together by three days of heavy rain, the group decided to pass the time by sharing ghost stories, one of which was the aforementioned The Tales of the Dead.

It was this very meeting that many have claimed inspired Mary Shelley to subsequently write Frankenstein and Polidor to pen The Vampyre the first ever romantic vampire novel.

With that in mind, it seems very likely that The Doctor will be grappling with the undead in many grisly forms.

Doctor Who looks to be on a roll when it comes to serving up chills and thrills.

Last week, viewers were left spooked after the immortal Rakaya detached his fingers and shot them into the ears of his victims to feed off of their nightmares.

However, others accused the show of giving them a mental health lecture as the Doctors companions grappled with anxiety, depression and survivors guilt.

Doctor Who continues on Sunday at 7:10pm on BBC One and will be available to stream on iPlayer.
