The Cruel Sea: Surviving Fury From The Deep

The host of Syntell Reacts (left) and the guy who watches the Whoniverse with him, Rekkai. They're very much reacting to Barclay as a parent, as they're both dads whose kids will soon leave home, and Rekkai's a dad with an ex-wife, like Barclay.

#TheWarBetween ep2 reaction and The Cruel Sea tonite. I hope eps 3 to 5 don't let Syntell & Rekkai down too hard. As always, their takes have loads I haven't heard before. The call of the sea then sent me into a rewatch of the beautiful Fury From The Deep doco. Ep 1 reaction: youtu.be/7pBV0kFSv9Q

Just finished "The War Between the Land and the Sea" - the Doctor Who spin off. Terrible. Sorry. Just terrible.

A photo of the Steelbook Blu-Ray releases of Doctor Who, particularly The Daleks In Colour, The War Games In Colour, The 60th Anniversary Specials, Season One/Series 14, Season Two/Series 15, and The War Between The Land And The Sea.

And with that, the Disney+ era is now fully out on Blu-ray... It had highs... It had lows... It was never boring...

But I do wish we knew some part of where we are going now...

At the very least, these steelbooks are a work of art as always.

A whole load of Doctor Who books and audiobooks from the Fifteen Doctor's era.

There may be a new addition nestled amongst these. Now I'm off to stare at redlinks on the #StarCops Wiki with zero wish to make any of them lol. #DoctorWho #TheWarBetween 🐟

Join us as we take an exclusive look behind the scenes of The War Between the Land and the Sea.

Just sitting here struggling not to cry at this final episode. 🥲 I'm trying so hard. #TheWarBetween 🐟

I need all other #DoctorWho fans to see that episode three cliffhanger to #TheWarBetween because it's one of the best cliffhangers ever. 🐟

I love how they've been waiting to show Kate Stewart. I love her. It's like she's our reward for paying attention. 😂 #TheWarBetween 🐟

Austin Pierce sits in a chair on a clifftop smiling holding a tin mug of something. Barclay Pierre-Dupont stands beside him. Numerous UNIT soldiers stand behind them.

Imagine being Colin McFarlane getting that call to play Austin Pierce again, like 26 years later. 😂 This show literally never leaves you. So glad he came back, that character went from unreadable US General to brave UNIT leader. Proper turn around for the character. #TheWarBetween #DoctorWho 🐟

Rewatching episode one of #TheWarBetween because it's brilliant. Surprised at how much music I can whistle along to (all of it hehe). Credit to the incomparable Lorne Balfe for that. #DoctorWho 🐟

Half three in the morning and I can't sleep... so I'm listening to Lorne Balfe's amazing score to #TheWarBetween again. It's so good, isn't it? Is it my favourite RTD2 era series so far? I think it is. Is that a bad thing to say? #DoctorWho 🐟

Between the first and last episode, the #DoctorWho spin-off lost over 2 million viewers. Despite this, it did still launch with a fantastic 6.07 million, 28-day numbers reveal to us.

Facing in a fiercely positive direction – it's important that #Gally1 is happening at all and I genuinely wish staff, stars and attendees fantastic fun and super success – including #TheWarBetween cast and crew since I didn't just adore it – I'm feeling that joy right now just recalling it 💙

1960s UNIT: Okay, bye. 👋
2020s UNIT: Don't f~ing think so. Take her, interrogate her, chuck her in a cell, take the family, wipe her memory. 🔫

Thank you! Also I forgot to say in response to your other comment: no boobage! (The character even changes gender presentation at one point.) #TheWarBetween

#TheWarBetween Official Ratings:

Despite the finale receiving the smallest audience of the series, the #DoctorWho spin-off averaged 3.57m, up on Gatwa’s second series by around 400k. Could the BBC grant a second go for another ‘war between’?

Listening to #TheWarBetween soundtrack before plucking up the courage to relisten to the final episode of #StarCops Mother Earth. Sigh. It's not fair, I know what's coming. These writers are so cruel. 😅 @bigfinish.bsky.social #DoctorWho

Tovey flashing the guns and not drinking Thames water!

We ended up watching all of #TheWarBetween ⛰️🌊 at stupid o'clock this morning. Aside from the shitty sound mix, particularly in episode 1, we were pleasantly surprised, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

BTW, Kate L-S kicks ass!

The bespoke set for #TheWarBetween at #DoctorWho HQ was built for.. everyone else. My scenes needed emergency carpentry, special cushioning & serious balance! Podcast gold! Full story on🎙️#PopGoesTheTamTam - out now. #TWBLATS #iPlayer #actors

#TheWarBetween 5/10

Like every genre show RTD has made this spin-off from the tyre fire Disney funded #DoctorWho era falls to bits when thought about with any level of critical thinking.
RTD was done years ago.
