Here's a Doctor Who baddie who needs to be told to hop it – an evil creature that looks like a cuddly white rabbit.
Beep the Meep is set to battle the Doctor when David Tennant returns to the role for the BBC sci-fi show’s 60th anniversary next year.
A stunt driver dressed as David has been spotted filming a scene in Cardiff, driving a cab with a fluffy white creature inside.
A source said: “Younger viewers will love Beep – he appears to be meek and cute, but he’s as deadly as a Dalek or a Cyberman.”

Beep is set to make his TV debut alongside newcomers the Wrarth Warriors.
The Wrarths look far more menacing, with red eyes and an insect-like exoskeleton, but their job is tackling baddies. The Wrarths and Beep appeared in comic strips in the Doctor Who Weekly magazine in the 1980s.
They were first seen in a story involving Tom Baker’s incarnation as the Doctor.
The TV show’s returning boss Russell T Davies, 59, has a habit of finding old Doctor Who gems.
Our source said: “He has tapped into the novels and audio adventures, adapting them for TV.
“It’s no surprise he’s looked to the comics, as Beep the Meep was one of the most popular creations.”
Russell’s second stint as showrunner kicks off with three specials to mark the 60th anniversary.
David, 51, returns along with Catherine Tate, 52, as sidekick Donna Noble.
There are rumours other former Doctors will also take part, with Matt Smith seen as the most likely.
