Doctor Who Sponges Off Wet Monster on Mars


When it’s not trying to be funny or melodramatic, the 21st Century version of Doctor Who can be downright creepy. And, it looks like outgoing executive producer Russell T. Davies is heading that way with the next 2009 special, “The Waters of Mars”.

Written by Davies with Phil Ford (Torchwood) and directed by Graeme Harper, a newly released image (right) and a preview clip from bbc1 hint that Who is returning to that well-roasted sci-fi chestnut of alien possession for the November broadcast.

“Mars” will be 2009’s second Doctor Who special as the show takes a year off from full-time production. David Tennant’s Doctor will return for a two-part farewell/regeneration story around Christmas before Matt Smith takes over the role in 2010.

Of course, that’s all contingent on whatever announcement Davies and Tennant are brining to Comic-Con in a couple weeks. Stay tuned.
