Sesame Street will take on Doctor Who when the show returns for its 45th season in September.

The Sesame Street characters throw a Numeric Con – their answer to the popular San Diego Comic Con – and Elmo and co. get a visit from the TARDIS.

Eagle-eyed Whovians will spot two Sesame Street residents donning the garb of the Fourth Doctor emerging from the famous blue police box.

Some brightly-coloured Daleks pop up too, threatening to ‘enumerate’ their enemies.

Amongst the Doctor Who references are a Five-erine (Wolverine) and a Dark Nine (Dark Knight).

The new season of the educational show will also feature spoofs of Star Trek, The Avengers and, interestingly, Game of Thrones.
