Fans of Doctor Who can get a bit more excited (as if Torchwood wasn't enough!) as the BEEB have posted a one minute preview clip of the next special, The Waters of Mars. You can find the video HERE.

Although no date has been given - "Novemberish" being the time frame cited - the BBC's synopsis of the second of four specials tells us that The Doctor meets his "cleverest and most strong-minded companion yet", Adelaide, played by acclaimed British actress Lindsay Duncan. She is the head of the Mars Base and doesn't take kindly to an uninvited appearance by The Doctor. Peter O'Brien, star of Neighbours and Casualty, 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.

In other Who news Lizo Mzimba, BBC journalist and uber-fan, has revealed, via Twitter, that this year's Children In Need will definitely feature Doctor Who in some capacity. News as and when we get it!
