With just a matter of days to go until the anticipated release of Doctor Who<\/a>\u2018s new season, excitement for the series is at an all time high.<\/p>\n

While we may know of some of the villains and characters that Ncuti Gatwa<\/a>\u2018s Doctor and Millie Gibson<\/a>\u2018s Ruby Sunday will face in the upcoming series<\/a>, we don\u2019t exactly know what kind of dramatic action each villain will bring.<\/p>\n

But we certainly get a sense of what\u2019s on the cards for Jinkx Monsoon<\/a>\u2018s musical villain, Maestro<\/a>, in newly released images \u2013 and they even tease a couple of pretty stellar outfit changes for the Doctor\u2019s new enemy in the second episode of the new season,\u00a0titled The Devil\u2019s Chord<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the slew of first look images, we see the Doctor shocked to see Maestro<\/a> while strumming a guitar in the middle of the iconic Abbey Road Studios. But who exactly is he looking at? Well, it\u2019s Monsoon\u2019s character now wearing a rather regal looking blue outfit (above) that has considerable undertones of The Beatles<\/a>\u2018s Sergeant Pepper era.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Maestro has another costume change in another picture that shows her on top of a white grand piano in a purple dress but she appears to be sticking her finger out at something with an angry look on her face. Could she be confronting the Doctor?<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re not yet sure what kind of musical adventure the Doctor and Ruby are set to go on, another image shows the pair running down a London street looking worried.<\/p>\n

Aside from all of the action, we also get our first glimpse of The Beatles in action in the episode and the actors who play the well-known musicians.<\/p>\n

In a fairly joyous image of the band (below), we see George Caple as Paul McCartney, Philip Davies as George Harrison and Chris Mason as John Lennon as they practice in the middle of Abbey Road Studios.<\/p>

Rumours have recently continued to swirl about how Maestro fits into the Whoniverse, especially seeing as Russell T Davies has previously referred to the character as \u201cthe Doctor\u2019s most powerful enemy yet\u201d.<\/p>\n

After the character\u2019s name was revealed, plenty have been left to ponder the possibility that Maestro could have some kind of connection to one of the Doctor\u2019s major foes, the Master. Previously played by Sacha Dhawan, fans have thought that the two villains could perhaps be connected but Davies has since quashed those rumours.<\/p>\n

Exclusively chatting to\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a> at the London premiere for Gatwa\u2019s first full season, Davies revealed: \u201cNo, it\u2019s nothing to do with the Master\u2026 it\u2019s completely different, a pantheon of gods that we\u2019ve introduced.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did think when I named them Maestro that there was a chance that that might overlap. It causes speculation, which is fun, but the Master is kind of parked for the moment. There\u2019s been a lot of the Master recently, so it\u2019s time to start again and have a fresh start to the show.\u201d<\/p>\n
