Series 10 Episode 9 Empress Of Mars Sat 10th June 7.15pm
Empress Of Mars. Written by Mark Gatiss and directed by Wayne Yip.
The Doctor, Bill and Nardole arrive on Mars, and find themselves in an impossible conflict between Ice Warriors… and Victorian soldiers.
As the Martian hive awakens around them, the Doctor faces a unique dilemma – this time the humans, not the Ice Warriors are the invaders. When Earth is invading Mars, whose side is he on?
The Doctor is played by Peter Capaldi, Bill by Pearl Mackie and Nardole by Matt Lucas.

June 5th, 2017 - 1:29amI love how there’s a sort of “of mars” trilogy now,
Pyramid of Mars
The Waters of Mars
Empress of Mars
The Temporal Jelly Baby
June 4th, 2017 - 10:56pmProbably just a small scene at the end to keep the plot arc going or something similar.

June 4th, 2017 - 10:51pmThe BBC official site has the cast line up and it includes Michelle Gomez as Missy.
Didnt think she was in it again until 11/12

June 4th, 2017 - 10:46pmWhat a very nice thing to say on a popular site like this…. its a shame the Doctor is fictional, as im sure if he was real he would do his best to sort our world out.

June 4th, 2017 - 8:20pmYes the ice warriors live in hives, a storyline established in the Virgin novels 20 odd years ago.

June 4th, 2017 - 6:11pmThe ice warriors never really had their own music. Besides which in classic who the original cybermen music was used both before and after tenth planet for other stories. If I remember rightly it was in the space museum and I’m sure it was earlier as well. To echo other thoughts as well I think considering the London events of last night what music is used on a TV show is hardly any important matter. My thoughts to those who have suffered in London and Manchester…

June 4th, 2017 - 2:54pmOr it could have just been used for the trailer?
CG
June 4th, 2017 - 1:37pmThat annoyed the hell out of me – unless the Ice Warriors have something to do with the cybermen I will be annoyed to the max for using their music!!!

The Temporal Jelly Baby
June 4th, 2017 - 9:14amI liked Cold War as well. It’s hardly a classic but I enjoyed watching it.
The Surgeon
June 4th, 2017 - 9:08amCold War wasn’t bad, was it? I thought it was really good.

June 4th, 2017 - 9:08amWell said

June 4th, 2017 - 8:23amJust watched the trailer and again and that is a bit strange. But does seem to work though

June 4th, 2017 - 7:37amI’m sorry that this comment has nothing to do with the episode at all.
But having seen the news today I just want to wish that everyone in the Whovian community be vigilant and stay safe wherever you are.
God bless this world of ours!

June 4th, 2017 - 6:07amYes I thought that was wierd aswell
The Doctor Will See You Now
June 4th, 2017 - 4:58amI certainly hope this episode is better than the only other Ice Warrior episode of revived Doctor Who. Cold War ranks as one of my least favourite Doctor Who episodes ever.

June 3rd, 2017 - 10:31pmDid anyone else notice on the next time trailer that the music used is the Cybermen music

June 3rd, 2017 - 10:20pmShe does sound similar but I don’t remember Sarah Parish being announced on the guest cast for the series.

June 3rd, 2017 - 10:11pmHope this is better than the 3 parter.

June 3rd, 2017 - 10:10pmI think this will be the first time we will see the Ice warriors of Mars on Mars

June 3rd, 2017 - 10:09pmThe Empress of the Ice Warriors sounded a lot like the Empress of the Racnoss. Is it the same actress?
The Dalek Whovian
June 3rd, 2017 - 9:38pmFinally everyone’s favourite Martians are back. The mythology of the Ice Warriors is so interesting and it looks like this episode will explore that.
The Temporal Jelly Baby
June 3rd, 2017 - 9:13pmI also love the Ice Warriors! It looks like Mark Gatiss is exploring new aspects of Ice Warrior life in Empress of Mars so that will hopefully be interesting to see.

June 3rd, 2017 - 8:41pmThis looks Mad! In a good way of course! I don’t want to seem critical of the past few episodes because I have really enjoyed them in the most part but I will be glad to see a return to the single episode format again next week.
And I LOVE the Ice Warriors, always did as a lad!
