Doctor Who: The Waters Of Mars

This November David Tennant is joined by Lindsay Duncan and Peter O’Brien in the second special episode of 2009

Mars, 2059. Bowie Base One. Last recorded message: “Don’t drink the water. Don’t even touch it. Not one drop.”

Doctor Who will return to BBC One on Sunday 15 November for The Waters Of Mars – the second of four specials airing throughout 2009.

Starring David Tennant as The Doctor and guest starring acclaimed British actress Lindsay Duncan – best known for her roles across stage and screen (Margaret, Rome) – The Waters Of Mars is set to be one of the most scary episodes of the series to date, as a creeping infection beneath the Martian surface threatens not only the human race, but also the Doctor’s most fundamental beliefs – with terrifying results.

Lindsay Duncan stars as Adelaide – the Doctor’s cleverest and most strong-minded companion yet. Neighbours, Flying Doctors and Casualty star Peter O’Brien also guest stars as Ed, Adelaide’s second-in-command at the base.

The Waters Of Mars is the second of four specials which will air throughout 2009.

The Waters Of Mars is written by Russell T Davies and Phil Ford and is directed by Graeme Harper. The producer is Nikki Wilson.

Doctor Who: The Waters Of Mars, Sunday 15 November 2009, 7.00pm, BBC One.
