I is for... Ital, Tarak


Karachi-born Tarak Ital was a crewmember of Bowie Base One, the first human settlement on the planet Mars. He was the base medic. On 21st November, 2059, he was called to the base's biodome after fellow crewmember Maggie Cain raised an alarm. She was found unconscious, her colleague Andy Stone missing. Looking for him, Ital was attacked by him and deliberately infected with a virulent water-borne parasite known as the Flood. Ital and Stone then attacked the others. As more and more of the crew were taken over, Commander Adelaide Brooke elected to activate the base's self-destruct mechanism - determined to prevent the infection ever escaping back to Earth. Ital and the other infected crew were destroyed in the explosion.

Played by: Chook Sibtain. Appearances: The Waters of Mars (2009).
  • Sibtain had previously played the villainous Mark Grantham in The Warriors of Kudlak, one of The Sarah Jane Adventures.
