Invaders from Mars was the fourth story of Season 38 of Doctor Who. It was written by Mark Gatiss, directed by Euros Lyn and featured Richard E. Grant as the Doctor and Gillian Kearney as Lou Madison.
Synopsis
Hallowe'en 1938.
A month after a mysterious meteorite lit up the skies of New York State, Martian invaders laid waste to the nation. At least, according to soon-to-be infamous Orson Welles they did. But what if some of the panicked listeners to the legendary The War of the Worlds broadcast weren't just imagining things?
The Doctor and Lou arrive in Manhattan just in time to find a dead private detective. Indulging his gumshoe fantasies, the Doctor is soon embroiled in the hunt for a missing Russian scientist whilst Lou finds herself at the mercy of a very dubious Fifth Columnist.
With some genuinely out of this world "merchandise" at stake, the TARDIS crew are forced into an alliance with a sultry dame called Glory Bee, Orson Welles himself and a mobster with half a nose known as "the Phantom".
And slowly and surely, something is drawing plans against them. Just not very good ones...
