Gonna be honest it’s hard for me to be excited about something that Pete McTighe is involved in

Why tho?
Both his episodes sucked
Amongst literally hundreds of episodes out there, I wouldn’t judge the work by just two of m
I mean those are the two episodes he wrote. He seems good enough at writing those Blu-Ray shorts, so I don’t begrudge him that, I just don’t trust him with anything more substantial
Good thing he’s not working alone
I mean I might be wrong, it might turn out to be good. I’m just not particularly excited.
I’m betting it’s going to be great
During the Doctor Who panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Disney and the BBC announced that The War Between The Land And The Sea — a new series written by Russell T. Davies and Pete McTighe — is on the way.
Rather than the Doctor, the new show will revolve around a group of humans as they work together to face the Sea Devils, a race of ancient, ocean-dwelling creatures who first appeared in Doctor Who back in 1972.
Jemma Redgrave and Alexander Devrient are set to reprise their roles as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Colonel Ibrahim, respectively, but they will also be joined by Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as characters not yet revealed.
Previously, Tovey and Mbatha-Raw both starred in Doctor Who —he as Titanic midshipman Alonso Frame, and she as Tish Jones — but it’s not clear whether that’s who they’ll be playing here.
I have mixed feelings about the Sea Devils, but I’m happy to see Russell Tovey back in the Whoniverse! I guess he won’t be playing Alonso again… right? Right?
If rumours are true that Freema Agyeman is returning as Martha though, Mbatha-Raw could well be back as her sister Tish.
I’m cautiously optimistic for now!
