What are The Flood? (Doctor Who's Biggest Unsolved Mystery)



In the Tenth Doctor’s penultimate adventure he encountered one of his deadliest foes yet. The horrific virus that ravaged the human colony of Bowie Base One. The Waters of Mars is one of the best episodes of the revival, but who are the titular villains of the story, and have we seen the last of them yet?

  1. just as i see this video in my feed it made me think of something. The Flood. Mrs. Flood. maybe a connection? considering we just had RTD have Sue tech = Sutekh i now am theorizing Mrs. Flood is like maybe the queen of The Flood ,like a hivemind and shes here for revenge against the doctor

  2. Your videos are really relaxing to listen to, which is especially nice when I've just started a quite stressful year of college πŸ™‚
    (even when said video is about arguable one of the darkest stories in doctor who lol)

  3. When I was first watching doctor who and I finished season 4 I watched The next doctor and the planet of the dead then I looked up if I had to watch all the specials and it said no so I immediately skipped to to the end of time, After watching it for the first time a couple of months ago I genuinely can’t believe I skipped on of the greatest doctor who episodes ever

  4. Think the issue with reusing the flood is that you kinda have an Angel issue, where you might lose the fear factor they once had. Admittingly I am still waiting for them to show their heads in Big Finish, all things considered it wouldnΒ΄t be the first sentient water alien they used. I personally like to think of them as somthing like the SAX from the Metroid series, where the Ice Warriors serve as a species perfectly made to counter the Flood who just happen to be an invasive species on mars.

  5. I'm rewatching all the"modern" series and the next episode will be exactly this one. This will be the third time I see the whole thing but there are so many episodes that I don't remember! Like this one, I remember those horrible faces but nothing about the plot!

  6. Whilst I adore all of Dr Who some more than others ….the first RTD era literally hits so different like for 5 years it delivered pure platinum gold weekly ….and the fact TWOM I watched….it was the final time as a family of 5 we watched Dr Who ….my father got realky ill and passed away Christmas holidays 2009 my life changed forever ….this special was my mood, my vibe my depression manifested in a pure horror episode….I do wish these specials were contained in series 4 box set too as TWOM is a masterpiece in art form in so many ways that I feel gets overlooked at times… But excellent ….just excellent sadly I don't think Dr who will dare to go that dark again ….like genuinely ….this was exceptional and I'm thankful this was watched by 10 million people on prime time …absolute art πŸ’™πŸ’™

  7. One of my favourite episodes, hands down.

    (Also I know this isn't the point of the video, but what's the music at 8:21? I recognise it from somewhere, but can't remember why/where from and it's driving me a little nuts lmao)
