THE WATERS OF MARS - SYNOPSIS
Lindsay Duncan (Alice and Wonderland, Rome) joins the Doctor as his
sharpest and most strong-minded companion yet for the second of four
Doctor Who Specials. The Waters of Mars is a dark, scary thriller that
sees the Doctor land on the planet Mars, at a base in peril. A
creeping infection beneath the Martian surface threatens not only the
human race, but also the Doctor's most fundamental beliefs. Together
with Adelaide Brooke (Lindsay Duncan), the bases commander, the Doctor
must defeat a seemingly unstoppable menace before it can reach Earth,
and wipe out mankind. The Doctor must fight not only the water but
destiny itself while also confronting his own existence, when the
prophesy about his future begins to resonate. Is his song about to
come to an end? The Waters of Mars is written by Russell T Davies
(Torchwood, Queer as Folk) and Phil Ford and directed by Graeme
Harper. The executive producers are Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner
(Torchwood, Life on Mars).
