Dr Who faces terrifying new creature in one-off special
Updated 08:51am on 10 Jul 2009The Doctor encounters a creature with black lips and a bad skin problem in the new episode of Doctor Who.
David Tennant is joined by Lindsay Duncan in The Waters of Mars, the second of four Doctor Who specials being screened on BBC1 this year.
Duncan, whose recent roles include playing former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, plays the Doctor's cleverest and most strong-minded companion yet - Adelaide.
Adelaide does not take kindly to an uninvited appearance by the Doctor.
Alan Ruscoe, who has previously featured in the show in various roles, plays the scary-looking creature, who is the character Andy Stone.
Former Neighbours star Peter O'Brien 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.
The show will be screened as part of BBC1's autumn schedule.

Looks uncannily like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall with a bad case of sunburn.

Scary? Hardly. Looks like the average festival-goer after a hard weekend.
