Posted by Filed under

Russel Tovey, Jemma Redgrave and Alexander Devrient were spotted filming the Doctor Who spin-off, The War Between the Land and the Sea, at the Welsh Government Building on Museum Avenue in Cardiff on 1 September 2024.

The body double for Gugu Mbatha-Raw and extras in military uniforms were also spotted at the location.

A UNIT (Unified Intelligence Taskforce) armored vehicle was also seen at the location.

The outside of the building was set-dressed with marine debris.

In the evening, Russell Tovey was spotted filming a scene.

Location filming for the spin-off began on August 29, 2024.

The five-part series, written by Russell T Davies and Pete McTighe, is directed by Dylan Holmes-Williams, who directed the Doctor Who 2024 series episodes, 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble. It stars Russell Tovey, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jemma Redgrave, Ruth Madeley, Alexander Devrient and Colin McFarlane.

The premise of the spin-off covers how UNIT (Unified Intelligence Taskforce) copes when the Doctor isn’t around. The Sea Devils, an ancient race that have been slumbering beneath the oceans, wake up to see the polluted state of the oceans and commence war on humankind. Davies promises “thrills, deaths, chases, fish, and seven seas of danger.”

The series premiere date has not yet been announced for The War Between the Land and the Sea but the co-production between the BBC and Disney Branded Television will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer in the UK, and on Disney+ where available.
