Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars Q&A With David Tennant & Russell T Davies Transcript
Digital Spy have a transcript from The Waters of Mars press confrence held earlier today at the screening of the special with David Tennant and Russell T Davies. Part of the transcript can be read below;How does this special compare to the others?
David: "It tells a different sort of story, I think, and it's a long time into the episode before The Doctor takes control. That's what's unnerving about it - it's not the standard structure. We expect The Doctor to take control earlier - we expect The Doctor to know how he's going to do it and how he's going to win through and he doesn't. Even though he wins in the end it's a bitter sweet victory. People die. That's part of the story we have to tell to go where we're going."
Do you think 'Waters of Mars' can still be viewed by children? It's very dark in places.
Russell: "Oh yes, absolutely. Have you read a Harry Potter book?" David: "Or seen a Harry Potter film?"
And we start to see the end of The Tenth Doctor's journey here, don't we?
David: "Well I think this gives you a bit of a hint - the fact that The Ood have come to summon the Doctor and the fact that the Doctor now knows incontrovertibly that he's running from his own demise and at the very end he says: 'No, I'm not going - I'm going to rage against the dying of the light' which hints at the final story I suppose.!
Russell: "He's alone and lost again. All these things are coming to an end."
Do you feel like you've wrapped it up satisfactorily for yourself then?
Russell: "Oh, magnificently!"
David: "Yeah - I think we tell a big end-of-an-era story and at the same time handing it on, which is important. This show has been going a long time before we showed up and no doubt will carry on into the far distant future. We tell a big old farewell story and then hand it over in rude health."
Russell: "It's nice knowing that you're coming to an end so far in advance because we had a chance to do everything - there's nothing we forgot. We see the Ood summon the Doctor in Children in Need and you get the first scene of the Doctor arriving on the planet of the Ood. It's actually hilarious - I think that scene is so funny!"
Did either of you keep any souvenirs from the set?
David: "You're really not allowed! People think you just walk away with a pocket full of stuff but the licence fee is very well protected - as it should be. I did get a little gift box at the end of stuff they didn't need anymore."
Russell: "I've got an orb from 'The End of the World' - mind you I paid a thousand quid for it at auction! I was very drunk and thought I'd bought something else but the the next day I ended up with a little orb - that was good, I was very popular."
There are pictures leaking from the filming of the new Doctor Who series. How do you feel when you see them?
David: "It's weird. I remember before it happened thinking we would probably start seeing snaps of them on street corners and wearing anoraks or having cups of tea between takes. I was nervous about how I would feel about that - I'm thrilled that it's carrying on and I know that everyone who's there is a great choice - but of course you feel a little bit proprietorial. I'm cheered because I've just been really excited to see that it's going on and I'm teased by what I'm seeing. I just can't wait to see it. I remember what it felt like as well, to be where Matt is now. It's really exciting to see someone else starting out on that journey."
Russell: "It's funny because when you're inside the programme you see those things and go: 'Oh, it's spoiled, it's ruined', but outside you go 'How exciting!'"

Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars Teasers
Digital Spy have attended the press screening of The Warters of Mars today, and they have published 'ten teasers' for the special, they can be read below;
1. The first line of the episode: "Hello mum. Susie says hello!" Do not underestimate its relevance!
2. The Doctor (and TARDIS) land on Mars on November 21, 2059. There he happens upon Bowie Base One, the first human colony on the red planet.
3. Heading up the base is Captain Adelaide Brooke (Lindsay Duncan), recognised by The Doctor as the pioneer of humanity's colonisation of space. "The woman with starlight in her soul," he calls her.
4. Odd-Doctor behaviour part one: The Doctor instantly realises he needs to leave. "Whatever has started here, I can't see it to the end," he tells them. "I can't."
5. ... but he doesn't leave, because before too long the dreaded 'water' starts to play a part. We won't spoil exactly how it plays a part, but the previously-released preview clip offers a strong hint.
6. There are references to two season four stories, as well as the recent Easter special. There's even a (new) flashback scene to one of the aforementioned.
7. "It's taken me all these years to realise *** **** ** **** *** **** - and they **** **** **."
8. An Ood makes an appearance. Last word is key.
9. Did you know, the human body is 60% water?
10. Odd-Doctor behaviour part two: Towards the very end of the episode, there's a scene that sees The Doctor say things that will utterly shock you. And more than that, the way he says things will shock you too.

5. When The Doctor shows up, he's quickly parted from Sarah Jane (and the TARDIS). He's got the kids to help him out, though.
6. The Doctor says two of his standard catchphrases: "Allons-y" and "I'm so sorry."

Doctor Who Filming At St. Gwynno's Church
Doctor Who filming on Series five took place again last night, at St. Gwynno's Church in South Wales. As predicted by set reporters, it was a night shoot with the new TARDIS on location along with Matt Smith and a number of other previously unconfirmed guest actors. Set reporter simon_watkins reported the following via Twitter;Very wet and cold at Llanwynno. Just saw a scene with a young lad running uphill at the graveyard. Took an age to shoot. The kid is wearing a sort of flashing LED beacon thing, while running up the spooky graveyard. Actor's name is Sam something. We've seen the monster. It's a blue faced reptile thing, in a sort of samauri outfit. Possibly his mother, or sister(?) is called Ambrose & I think she's played by Samantha something, not 100% certain. OK, this is strange, the kid, Elliot has a broad Welsh valleys accent. Set in Wales then ? Dialogue: Ambrose: "Why is it night?" Doctor : "It's not. Get in the Church!" Ambrose: "The door's all warped" ... UG: "Use the sonic" The Doctor : "It doesn't work with wood" Unknown guy : "Well that's rubbish" Doctor : "Don't dis the sonic!" Correction: Samantha something is playing the alien *not* Ambrose. They've wrapped for the evening. Others have identified one of the guest stars as Robert Pugh. The kid actor (Sam Davies) plays a character called Elliot. Another guest star identified as Meera Syal.

Quote Of The Day - Ninth Doctor
"The thing is, Adam, time travel is like visiting Paris. You can't just read the guide book. You've got to throw yourself in, eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers - or is that just me? Stop asking questions. Go and do it!"- Ninth Doctor, The Long Game.

Indeed, is there such a thing as a ‘right’ decision in such a complex situation? You can join the debate on our Facebook page, or email us your views at torchwood@titanemail.com.
Plus, don’t miss the second part of archivist Andrew Pixley’s exhaustive dissection of Children of Earth. It’s the ultimate survey of 77 long days on the Torchwood set.
