While we still don’t have the specific date for the airing of the next “Doctor Who” special, “The Water of Mars,” we at least can confirm that it will air in November.
The BBC released details of its upcoming fall schedule this week and included a short clip from the episode. You can see the clip here:
The BBC released the following info on the episode:
David Tennant returns as The Doctor in ‘The Waters Of Mars’, the second of four “Doctor Who” specials being screened on BBC One this year. He is joined by his cleverest and most strong-minded companion yet, Adelaide, played by acclaimed British actress Lindsay Duncan.
Adelaide is head of the Mars Base and doesn’t take kindly to an uninvited appearance by The Doctor. Peter O’Brien, star of “Neighbours”, “Flying Doctors” and “Casualty”, also guest stars as Ed, Adelaide’s second in command.
The Waters Of Mars is written by Russell T Davies and Phil Ford and is directed by Graeme Harper.
Robin says
“…his cleverest and most strong-minded companion yet…”
Oh for crying out loud. They say this every damn time they release a new series or special. One of these days, the Doctor’s just going to meet a hyper-intelligent mule and have done with it.
Colin says
“One of these days, the Doctor’s just going to meet a hyper-intelligent mule and have done with it” …that would certainly shake things up…
Rick C. says
“One of these days, the Doctor’s just going to meet a hyper-intelligent mule and have done with it” …
In such a scenario, providing that the good Doctor isn’t astride the hyper-intelligent mule when danger threatens, would it just stay put ignoring the command to “RUN!”? Or would the Doctor have to yell, “GALLOP!” instead?

Did I miss the episodes where he teams up with a vapid, over-endowed bimbo??
The episodes where the only way to save masses of people is by entering and winning a bikini contest??

I take it you’ve never seen any of the Peri or Melanie episodes, then.

The Tardis Newsroom at http://tardisnewsroom.blogspot.com/ has had November 14 posted as the UK debut date for “The Waters Of Mars” for days now. I’m not sure what their source is.
