The Waters of Mars

The Doctor's death is approaching, and he knows it as he awaits the summons that will lead him to his doom. In the first of David Tennant's final three episodes, culminating in a two-part Christmas swansong, he is on Mars, trying not to think of the inevitable as he gatecrashes a research station run by formidable Adelaide (played by Lindsay Duncan). And this is where writers Russell T Davies and Phil Ford come up with something entirely unexpected. The Waters of Mars is a dark and thoughtful story that, though still family-friendly (kids will love its cute robot), explores very adult themes of loneliness, loss and the terror of mortality. David Tennant (and my, how he's grown in stature as an actor) is magnetic as a man who knows that the end is near, yet who cannot ease his grip on life. The epic battle he wages with his conscience is etched on his face as he reveals a side to the Doctor we've never seen before. What emerges is unsettling and sometimes harrowing. Anyone who has ever dismissed Doctor Who as a "kids' show", take note.
