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



Starring David Tennant as the Doctor and guest starring British actress Lindsay Duncan – best known for her roles in Margaret (Thatcher), and Lost In Austen – The Waters Of Mars is set to be one of the most terrifying episodes of the series to date.

Lindsay Duncan stars as Adelaide – the Doctor's cleverest and most strong-minded companion yet.

She and The Doctor face terror on the Red Planet as they battle against a mysterious alien living within the terrarium of life on Mars' surface which infects its victims using a water compound it creates.

Neighbours, Flying Doctors and Casualty star Peter O'Brien also guest stars as Ed, Adelaide's second-in-command at the base.
