Hidden Away / Facts

 * This magazine can be recycled: for use in newspapers and packaging – then it can regenerate into something new!
 * The Master: "I'm everywhere this week."
 * The Flood monsters breathe water not air.
 * Original plans to have water pour from the Flood monsters' heads through a helmet-like prop proved unworkable as water ran into the actors eyes. Neill Gorton devised an alternate prop where water sprays from above the lip through a series of concealed tubes.
 * For filming of TV: The Waters of Mars water was pumped from two trucks that held a total of 15,000 litres in total.
 * The idea for TV: The Waters of Mars came from the discovery by NASA in 2006 of evidence of real water on Mars.
