Broadcast dates for all five episodes, a new synopsis, and the full name of Russell Tovey’s Barclay

 

New details about upcoming Doctor Who spin-off The War Between the Land and the Sea are now available. Following the announcement of the premiere date of the 7th of December, the dates for the remaining episodes have been published. They’ll be on iPlayer and BBC One in double bills each Sunday, with the final episode airing the Sunday before Christmas.

• Episodes 1 and 2 – 7th of December
• Episodes 3 and 4 – 14th of December
• Episode 5 – 21st of December

We also now know the full name of Russell Tovey’s central lead character. It turns out Barclay’s not his last name, it’s his first. His full moniker is the impressive Barclay Pierre-Dupont. Whether any French ancestry plays a role in the adventure is hard to say. However, Dupont is certainly an appropriate name for someone in Barclay’s position – literally meaning ‘of the bridge’ just as the UNIT member tries to form a bridge between UNIT and the Sea Devils. (It’s probably not a Tomb Raider deep cut, though.)

An updated BBC synopsis for The War Between the Land and the Sea also confirms Barclay’s status as a “low level UNIT staff member” who somehow “becomes humanity’s ambassador.”

The BBC have also launched dedicated social media accounts for the series, in addition to the existing Doctor Who presence. These include a new trailer, featuring Jemma Redgrave as UNIT leader Kate Stewart briefing the world on the crisis.

The five-part series follows Barclay (Russell Tovey), a low-level UNIT staff member whose ordinary life becomes a world of terror when an ancient species rises from the sea. Barclay becomes humanity’s ambassador when the mysterious Salt (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) emerges from the Tank at a summit on the Thames. UNIT, led by Kate Lethbridge-Stewart (Jemma Redgrave), fights for control as humanity faces destruction.

The War Between the Land and the Sea begins at 8.30pm on iPlayer and BBC One on the 7th of December

Aldo did a fantastic job of walking us through character building for Stalwart '85. I really appreciate the time he took to make and post this. It's really helpful, if you've had trouble wrapping your head around how character creation works.

Thanks, Aldo! 

Technology vs. magic, sometimes even to the point of a war, in a feature of a number of fantasy works, though I'm not aware of a published D&D setting that features it. 

Some science fiction settings have cultural/religious limits on technology, either as one facet of the setting or as a means for the author to keep technology in check to tell the sort of story they want to tell. Dune is the primary example, but there are series like the Sun Eater series by Christopher Ruocchio that follow its lead, and other settings that make it a feature. A more recent variant is a group or culture that rejects the rapid changes associated with things like cybertechnology and brain uploading. This shows up in Stross' Accelerando.

I think it would be interesting to sort of combine these concepts. Have the action take place within a fantasy world (perhaps a fairly standard one, or maybe a Spelljammer-ish system), but the demons, devils, and other Outsiders trying to get in and corrupt the world (at least from the perspective of the world's clerics and leaders who consuder them anathema) are actually posthuman intelligences that utilize technology, not magic. Presumably, "magic" (whatever it is) was what allowed these simple, unenhanced humanoids to hold on in a universe of much more powerful sophonts. The Outer Planes (as they view) them are really just planets, habitats or networks.

Of course, whether the Outsiders are really baddies would depend on the specifics of the setting--or maybe even be open to interpretation?
