Plot[]

Deimos[]

On the Martian moon Deimos, the Ice Warriors sealed themselves away when their planet was rendered inhospitable. By the 23rd Century, they were believed to be extinct and Mars and its moons became popular tourist destinations for humans. But now the Ice Warriors are awake, and they want Mars back.

The Resurrection of Mars[]

The Ice Warriors are willing to kill every human colonist on Mars in order to reclaim it. And someone is threatening to disrupt the Web of Time for what they believe to be the greater good. The Doctor has to make a difficult choice. And his companion does not agree with him.

Cast[]

Continuity[]

Deimos[]

  • The Eighth Doctor visited Mars' other moon in Phobos.
  • The Doctor mentions witnessing the environmental destruction of Mars (The Judgement of Isskar).
  • The humans believe the last of the Ice Warriors burned up in the Sun (The Seeds of Death).

The Resurrection of Mars[]

  • Lucie stopped traveling with the Doctor in Death in Blackpool. The Monk's advertisement that she responded to was predominantly featured in Situation Vacant. Between Death in Blackpool and The Resurrection of Mars, the only story Lucie was heard in was The Book of Kells, but she did not directly encounter the Doctor.
  • Lucie mentions that she visited the Sensorites with The Monk.
  • The Monk's TARDIS console was damaged after Tamsin tricked him into taking the wrong directional circuit in The Book of Kells.
  • The Monk's SEP filter is a reference to Douglas Adams' 1982 novel Life, the Universe and Everything, which featured a space ship equipped with a Somebody Else's Problem field. It is similar to the Perception filter, which is often mentioned in the newer Doctor Who television stories.
  • Tamsin and the Monk return in Lucie Miller / To the Death.

Broadcast[]

Deimos was broadcast on digital radio station BBC Radio 4 Extra on 11 Jan 2013;[1][2] The Resurrection of Mars was similarly broadcast three days later.[3][4] Each was an hour-long episode.

The Resurrection of Mars cover image[]

The preview cover image differs from the cover included with the physical disc; the true cover reduces the size of the Ice Warrior image to focus on Lucie and the Monk, and it does give cover credit to their portrayers, Smith and Garden.
