Television's longest running Science Fiction series, shot in HD, has just three episodes to go before a new Time Lord arrives onscreen in 2010. The next special, Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars, airs on BBC America, Saturday, December 19th @ 9 p.m. EST/PST. It stars Tennant and British stage and screen actress Lindsay Duncan (Rome, Langford) as Adelaide, his cleverest and most strong-minded companion.

Peter O'Brien (Casualty, Neighbors) guest-stars as Ed, Adelaide's second-on-command on the base. The Waters of Mars is written by Russell T. Davies (Torchwood, Queer as Folk) and Phil Ford and directed by Graeme Harper. The executive producers are Russell T. Davies and Julie Gardner (Torchwood, Life on Mars).

I'm gonna miss the Tennant. I'm kinda leary about Matt Smith, as he seems to be dressing similarly to David Byrne in the old "Once in a Lifetime" video.
