Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars
Paizo Employee Vic Wertz (Technical Director),

Vic Wertz

The next 60-minute Doctor Who special, The Waters of Mars, will air in the UK on Sunday, November 15 at 7pm on BBC One. In Australia, it's set for the week of December 6 on ABC. In the US, it will air Saturday, December 19 at 9:00pm ET/PT on BBC America/BBC America HD.

The 60-minute special The End of Time and it's as-yet unnamed 75-minute final chapter don't yet have confirmed airdates, though it's pretty obvious that at least one of them—probably the first one—will air on Christmas Day in the UK; my bet would be either Boxing Day or New Year's Day for the second part.

All three of these specials will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray in the US on February 2. A box set of all five specials (adding The Next Doctor and Planet of the Dead, both of which are already available) will also be released the same day. (In the UK, that date is January 11.)

It thus seems pretty clear that the US air dates for The End of Time et seq. will be sometime between December 25 and February 2.

ericthecleric,

News you might be interested in:"Doctor Who" star lands NBC legal pilot

BTW, it appears that there will be new versions/remakes- not sure exactly- of Blake's 7, Upstairs, Downstairs, plus a few other 70's shows. (This was mentioned on a radio programme last week; can't remember which.)

Hi guys...been a bit busy working on Friars Almanac.

I believe you are looking for Blake 7 (via blake7.com) as they are looking at an animated series and a remake...

He's playing an American? Dear God, I hope his American accent is better than the Elvis impersonation he tried to do in The Idiot's Lantern.

ericthecleric,

Watch classicepisodes of Doctor Who, Day of the Triffids, Neverwhere, and The Quatermass Experiment here.

Correction: Apparently the *second* part is called "The End of Time," while the name of the *first* part remains unannounced.

Also, the BBC has announced broadcast details for the new six-part animated story, Dreamland; new episodes run each day from November 21 to 26. (I don't comprehend all your "Red Button" and "Freeview" stuff, so I'll just link to the news release.) It'll also be available on bbc.co.uk, but I'm guessing it won't be viewable outside the UK.

I'm sure it'll show up in the US on DVD in a couple of years or something.

David Tennant also made a guest appearance as the Doctor in The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith - episodes 5 & 6 of series 3 of The Sarah Jane Adventures.

I've just seen a trailer for Waters of Mars. It's set in 2059, at Bowie Base One. :-)

Are the BBC going to put all the last movies and specials of Tennant's into a box set?
I saw the "the Next Doctor" and "Waters of life" sold separatly and I wanted to get them but held off just in case they are going to put out a box set.

Half saw the trailer, looks good, but who's the woman?

D'oh!

Full of awesome!

Spoiler:

I think the Doctor has always been a chaotic good character, but tonight he sways closer to a darker spectrum at the very end. Adelaide's suicide pulls him back, but... interesting that he shows traits associated with the Master, and that's our next Christmas special.

It might actually have been quite interesting to see what storyline could evolve from the Doctor gone rogue; Time Lord Victorious carried to a logical conclusion. But vilifying Doctor Who is the last thing we need--it wasn't all that great when Luke went Dark Side in the Dark Horse books; I don't think we'd enjoy an evil Doctor, no matter how cool it sounds initially.

Sounds like a throwback to Sylvester McCoy's Doctor. He was doing some morally questionable stuff and some pretty nasty stuff. Breaking Ace's faith, manipulating people mentally in Battlefield, Survival, etc.

ericthecleric,

I enjoyed it too.

Spoiler:
I'm guessing that the next two episodes are about him having to deal with the consequences of his breaking the Laws of Time... perhaps involving the granddaughter of the Base Captain. It'll be interesting to see.

ericthecleric,

Another (spoilered) thought I meant to add:

Spoiler:
Who'd have thought that water would be so scary? What a brilliant concept for a "bad guy". It'd be cool to see a storyline of what happened to make the ice frozen.

You know, the Doctor said
Spoiler:
he wondered the same thing. He guessed that the ancient Martians had deliberately frozen the lifeform. Remember when he spoke Old North Martian and she seemed to recognize the language? And you're right, I got a little of the pathos bug when the water breeched Steffi's cubicle and then she starts watching the last transmission from her kids--pretty good stuff.

Spoiler:
Not just ancient Martians, but specifically Ice Warriors!

Personally, I thought the mouths of the infected ones looked a bit like the mouths of the "Ice Lord" type of Ice Warrior. Kinda. Vaguely.
