When Wall-E met Doctor Who

So, The Waters of Mars airs on Sunday 15th November.


Thanks to Ryan for these delightful images!

Meanwhile, in Sarah-Jane-world, the Trickster uttered some words which may be of foreshadowing interest to us.
"The Gate is waiting for you..."

Check out the scene here! What is the Gate? The Gates of Elysium?

News

The BBC released the synopses for The Gift; the Sarah Jane Adventures finale!

Sarah Jane, Luke, Clyde and Rani face an old enemy, the green Slitheen, in the penultimate episode of this series of The Sarah Jane Adventures.

When the Slitheen's latest scheme is halted, their rivals, the Blathereen, arrive. Declaring peace between the planets, they offer Sarah Jane a gift – one that might change the future of the human race forever.


When the Blathereens' gift runs riot, Sarah Jane faces the battle of her life to save her son, Luke, as The Sarah Jane Adventures concludes.

With Clyde, Rani and K9 trapped in a school under siege, and the whole of London convulsing under the alien threat, everything heads for a final showdown in the attic – and not everyone is getting out alive.


Rumour has it that

K9


will be the one who is killed off at the end of Series Three!

Also, Digital Spy report on 10 teasers for Waters of Mars :

It's completely different from 'Planet Of The Dead', with a real sense of the foreboding about it and some hitherto-unseen sides of The Doctor revealed. Without further ado, here's ten teasers:

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. (Ood Sigma!)

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.

And, to top it all off, they gave us a sneaky peek at the episode in the form of PICTURES. Dazzle your eyes over these!

The Eternity Trap & Exclusive Waters of Mars snippet

ERASMUS DARKENING!

You have to sign up, but it's well worth it <3

Part 1
A haunted house, with mysterious whispers and secrets in the shadows attracts Sarah Jane’s attention in the first of a new, two-part adventure, written by Phil Ford and directed by Alice Troughton. When Professor Rivers and the gang investigate an old legend, a monstrous creature appears in the night as the terrifying grasp of Erasmus Darkening reaches out from centuries past.

Part 2
Sarah Jane and the gang discover the secrets of Erasmus Darkening, in the second and concluding part of The Eternity Trap, but are they too late? As ghosts from the past rise up, and the quest to find the missing children reaches a climax, it seems that nothing can stop the ancient alchemist’s rise to victory.

Meanwhile, Russell T Davies and Elisabeth Sladen popped into the BBC Breakfast studio, where they showed exclusive clips of The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith and The Waters of Mars! Clips uploading soon :)

EDIT! Thanks to the wonderful Adam from GallifreyBase, we now have the interview and exclusive clips on YouTube!

"He is the angel..."

GMTV played an exclusive clip of The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith;



Also, have a looky at a snippet of Nigel Havers' interview;



Meanwhile, Cameron posted some lovely EXCLUSIVE pictures of the wedding of the year! See them here, here & here! He also reviewed both parts. Here's a teaser!

The denouement of the first episode is the event itself and we get fan-pleasing references to Metebelis 3, The Brigadier and Sarah Jane Adventures alumni Maria Jackson before the nuptials kick off. Rani's parents, for the first time, are gifted a number of gigglesome moments and add an appropriate degree of levity to Sarah's big day. But the levity is about to take a turn for the worst as a familiar wheezing and groaning (whoaning? grozing??) filters through the air.

Part 1 reviewed here, and Part 2 reviewed here!
