Audiences at a popular panto could find themselves in fear of being exterminated.
For the first time in pantomime history, television's most frightening alien adversaries, the Daleks, are featuring as the evil henchmen of Abanazar in the successful show Aladdin.
Direct from Doctor Who, the Daleks are expected to be the nastiest characters ever to feature at Newcastle's Theatre Royal, where the show is appearing in December.
The creatures have terrified television audiences for more than 40 years and, now they will be behind plans to stop Aladdin marrying the beautiful Princess Jasmine.
Wallsend-born Michael Harrison, the producer, director and writer of the show, said: "This is an amazing addition to the pantomime cast and I'm so glad we can bring the Daleks to Newcastle.
"They've never been featured in a pantomime before so I can't wait to see the audience's reaction. If you think the ugly sisters are evil, just wait until you meet the Daleks."
The show which runs from December 3 to January 19 will also star North-East actor Craig Conway, originally from South Shields, as Abanazar, and father and son comedy duo Clive Webb and Danny Adams as Mr Twankey and Aladdin.
The line-up is completed by former Steps member Faye Tozer and Newcastle's very own pantomime dame Chris Hayward as Mrs Twankey.
