The Lazarus Experiment

Saturday 5th May at 6:45pm (BBC1)

The Doctor takes Martha back home to her family in order for her to complete her medical studies. Meanwhile, Martha's sister, Tish, has been selected to run a meeting where Dr Lazarus (played by The League Of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss, pictured), a 76-year-old scientist, is developing his Genetic Manipulation Device, a machine that de-ages his entire body.

It soon becomes clear that there's more to the kindly Dr Lazarus than meets the eye. And, unbeknown to the Doctor, the wheels of a deadly trap have just been set in motion by the professor's enigmatic paymaster.

As human DNA morphs into a monstrous form, the Doctor and Martha must fight for survival.
