David Tennant returns in Doctor Who on Sunday, 15th November on BBC One in The Waters Of Mars, the second of four special editions of the BBC's flagship drama series throughout 2009.
Actress Lindsay Duncan co-stars as Adelaide, commander of Bowie Base One on Mars. Neighbours, Flying Doctors and Casualty star Peter O'Brien also guest stars as Ed, Adelaide's second-in-command at the base.
You can view a short interview with Russell T Davies about The Waters of Mars on the BBC Official Doctor Who website as well as the latest trailer, which you can also see below.
Naturally as only the second episode of Doctor Who this year and with only three episodes of David Tennant's Tenth Doctor to go, The Waters of Mars has received a lot of attention from across the print and web media. I personally like this quote from Wales Online.
Tennant said of the special: "The Doctor finds himself in a situation where he knows what the end is. It's all about whether he can un-knit the inevitable. With this particular Time Lord's life coming to an end, if he starts fiddling with the fundamentals of time and space it might lead to his undoing.
(Incidentally if you're not scared yet, Blogtor Who has some freaky water zombie images. Failing that there's always the Doctor on Halloween...)
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.
Written by Russell T Davies and Phil Ford and directed by Graeme Harper, The Waters of Mars looks set to be one of the most memorable episodes of Doctor Who ever.
