Doctor Who: "The Waters Of Mars"

Tuesday 7 April 2009
The first Doctor Who special, "Planet Of The Dead", airs this Saturday, but now we know the title of the second special. It's "The Waters Of Mars". So, will it involve a search for life on mars? Interestingly, the title is an anagram of "War Of The Masters" -- and we know that John Simm is back as The Master for a special. So is the title just a little puzzle set by Russell T. Davies? If so, consider it cracked. Or is the return of the Ice Warriors more likely?

Update: well, as you can see from the comments below, there's some debate about whether or not this title is genuine news, or just a rumour. Off The Telly have apparently pulled their story about the title's reveal, but the publication that apparently got everyone in a frenzy (Total TV Guide) does say the next special is "The Waters Of Mars". But, ahem, in their rumour section. So, take this news with a pinch of salt. Update: Ah, but it's now confirmed by the trailer at the end of "Planet Of The Dead". So rest easy.
