BBG News

As a seasoned gamer of time and space, I can’t help but feel a tinge of nostalgia mixed with anticipation upon hearing about Russell T Davies’ latest venture, “The War Between the Land and the Sea”. Having grown up watching the Doctor navigate the cosmos, I’ve seen the Sea Devils rise before, and I must admit, their return has me more than a little excited.

Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has shared an update about a new spin-off show.

Last month, it was officially confirmed at Comic-Con that “The Conflict of Land and Sea” has been in the whispers among fans for a while now.

On August 20th, it was revealed by Davies that preparations for the series are intensifying during the initial script reading, offering a glimpse to fans in advance.

“Day One. The war begins. Readthrough day for all 5 episodes of THE WAR BETWEEN THE LAND AND THE SEA,” he wrote on Instagram. “So much excitement. What a cast! Thrills, deaths, chases, fish, and seven seas of danger. Can’t wait!”

In a revival titled “The Battle of Land vs Sea“, original “Doctor Who” cast members Jemma Redgrave (as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart) and Alexander Devrient (as Colonel Christofer Ibrahim, UNIT) are set to rejoin, accompanied by some fresh faces.

In the upcoming series, “The War Between the Land and the Sea,” Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw will portray entirely fresh characters, having previously made guest appearances on “Doctor Who.”

In his own words, “It’s truly fortunate that I get to collaborate with such an exceptional team.” He went on to describe it as a robust, exhilarating production that will undoubtedly cause tremors throughout the Doctor Who universe.

A tantalizing summary hints at a scenario where Earth’s land-dwelling inhabitants will require protection as an intimidating, age-old sea creature resurfaces.

There’s been a lot of discussion among fans about who our adversary might be in the upcoming The War Between the Land and the Sea. Some theories suggest it could be the iconic monsters from Doctor Who, known as the Sea Devils, which debuted in the show way back in 1972 and made a more recent appearance in ‘The Legend of the Sea Devils’. However, the BBC has not officially confirmed their involvement yet.

The War Between the Land and the Sea is expected to premiere next year.

In the United Kingdom, the show “Doctor Who” is broadcasted on BBC One, while it can be found on Disney+ everywhere else. For those in the UK, classic episodes of “Doctor Who” are accessible via BBC iPlayer.
