Doctor Who ‘Waters of Mars’ New BBC Trailer
Filming on The Waters of Mars began on 23 February, 2009 but its title was only confirmed at the close of Planet of the Dead, back in April.
The trailer for this next adventure suggested a dark, exciting drama with the Doctor appearing to be on a futuristic base, threatened by some sort of water-based menace. The brief sequence of clips delivered a sense of danger and tension, heightened by the Doctor ominously noting, ‘Water always wins’.
The feel of the special was confirmed by Executive Producer Russell T Davies. ‘The next one up [The Waters of Mars] is very dark. It’s already scarring me and we haven’t even seen the proper edit yet!’ Julie Gardner confirmed on Doctor Who Confidential that it would be set on Mars, which may sound obvious, but the Fourth Doctor adventure, The Pyramids of Mars, barely even featured the Red Planet!
Recent specials have boasted fantastic casts and on 19 February we learnt that The Waters of Mars would continue the tradition. Acclaimed actress Lindsay Duncan, whose credits include GBH, Rome and Spooks, will be playing Adelaide who we now know is ‘head of Mars base’.
