Doctor Who’s The Water Of Mars airs in the UK in just two weeks times and in just under two months, David Tennant will hand the Doctor Who reigns over to young Matt Smith. In the his final three TV specials, Tennant has confirmed that we can look forward to seeing some familiar faces and old companions.

At the press screening of Water Of Mars today David told reporters:

“You saw Catherine Tate as Donna and Bernard Cribbins as well. John Simm as the Master – not really a companion but part of the gang…”

Show boss Russell T Davies added: “Jacqueline King who plays Donna’s mother, Sylvia Noble. The Master’s wife you saw in that as well – Alexandra Moen – playing Lucy Saxon. The Ood. A new Ood too.”

Anyone else ridiculously excited?
