Glad to see that this is Disney+ as well as BBC, so it will be available broadly. I’m not sure I’d seen that confirmed before.

I dunno, I just don't think this an idea that's gonna set the world on fire. Sounds a bit like those big Torchwood stories, which I was never very fond of.

After the mention in 73 Yards I’m kinda supervised the premise is seemingly so straightforward; humanity vs Sea Devils.

A better script wouldn't go amiss either.

I'd prefer something historical, a bit like Legend of the Sea Devils meets 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Traditional Sea Devils? What tradition would this be - the 1970s Sea Devils from The Sea Devils or the 2080s sea Devils from Warriors Of The Deep or the 17th Century Sea Devils from Legend Of The Sea Devils?

Honestly this spin off sounds incredibly niche if they wanted to create a spin off with UNIt they should have made a x files style show with a monster of the week that way it has more long term life this feels like just a mini series with a expiry date

I think a limited series is more beneficial in building up the Whoniverse and getting some big names to lead the shows. You can branch off what’s in the main show, in this case Kate & Ibrahim, whilst exploring more aspects of the universe that wouldn’t necessarily be in the main show, in this case Sea Devils. Having those types of shows on a regular frequency than, say, Torchwood makes the Whoniverse flexible and scalable. It’s also good for marketing and promotional purposes as you’re advertising something completely new each time.
That’s not to say I’d say no to a long running spin-off, but I would favour this approach over Doctor Who and solely that.

Wasn't there talk ages ago of Doctor Who villain spin-off shows. I guess we will get more mini-series focusing on a different monster with the one constant being Kate & UNIT. Building towards a UNIT show featuring the caste from each of these mini-series?
I feel UNIT is going to be basically the same as Torchwood, for better or worse.

Please don't mention Warriors of the Deep, I shiver at the mere thought of that story.

Please don't mention Warriors of the Deep, I shiver at the mere thought of that story. Personally, I'm hoping on redemption for the Myrka!

I dunno. I'd like to day I'm torn but I'm not. I literally don't care.
And thanks to RTD's nonsense with Bigeneration the first question to ask is: Where's 14 in all this? No longer is the excuse "I was on the other side of the galaxy" viable.
Given that I'll STILL probably give it a look.

If it's the first question...then why does ANYTHING bad happen, if The Doctor can travel in space and time regardless what incarnation? Not everything is a fixed point.

God he should have just gone! Actually he wasn't 14 he was 10. Exactly the same.

Except that literally can't be true because if it is then anyone post 14 is screwed if anything happens to 14. Ok, you could argue that they already had that issue with previous incarnations getting into trouble and so on but now it is divorced from their timeline and that's an issue. So frankly I'm going with 15 lied to a groggy 14.
