Doctor Who - The Waters of Mars...Coming Soon

The BBC Press Office has published new information today, regarding the next Doctor Who Special - The Waters of Mars.

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

Starring David Tennant as The Doctor and guest starring acclaimed British stage and screen actress Lindsay Duncan, The Waters Of Mars is the second Doctor Who special to be screened this year.

Lindsay plays Adelaide – the Doctor's cleverest and most strong-minded companion. She and the Doctor face terror on the Red Planet in one of the scariest adventures 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 written by Russell T Davies and Phil Ford and is directed by Graeme Harper.

It now looks like The Waters of Mars will be transmitted on the 14th November, BBC One. Wikipedia claims that David Tennant will appear on the Graham Norton show the Monday before, 9th Nov, presumably to promote The Waters of Mars. The BBC's entertainment journalist and Doctor Who fan Lizo Mzimba, claims on Twitter that there will be a screening for the special sometime over the next week where he will be interviewing David Tennant, Russell T Davies and Lindsay Duncan. Children in Need will take place on Friday 20th November where a preview of the Doctor Who Christmas Special will be shown.

It is expected that the BBC Press Office will have further details of the special and confirm the air date sometime on Thursday.
