The War Between the Land and the Sea showcases how the world reacts when a fearsome and ancient species emerges from the ocean, dramatically revealing themselves to humanity and triggering an international crisis.

Barclay (Russell Tovey) is a low-level UNIT staff member whose ordinary life becomes a world of terror when an ancient species rises from the sea. He becomes humanity’s ambassador when the mysterious Salt emerges from the Tank at a summit on the Thames.

And UNIT, led by Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, fights for control as humanity faces destruction.

The War Between the Land and the Sea premieres December 7 at 8:30pm on BBC One.
