The Sea Devils

[@pato2200]

The string vests and faces take me back to glasgow discos in the eighties.

[@mikebasil4832]

The Sea Devils are among the most particularly memorable creatures from the Whoniverse. Thank you for sharing this clip. 👍🏻

[@stuartsharman3055]

And truly terrifying...but cute looking creatures. What a contradiction that is. I was eight years old when I first saw The Sea Devils! They are my favourite Dr.Who monsters of all time! Always had sympathy for them.

Great story. One of my all-time favourites.

We have had Daleks and Cybermen overkill, it's about time the Sea Devils returned, long overdue.

@@nifralo2752 The new UNIT vs Sea Devils spinoff series being planned can hopefully make up for that.

[@mikebasil4832]

The least-recurring villains of the Whoniverse can often prove to be the more effective returns nowadays as the Toymaker and Sutekh have proven.

[@JoshPinder92]

LONG LONG overdue was hoping they would return YEARS ago....but finally this Easter they are back! Adore them in this story and hopefully they recapture how sinister they are

@@CelestialSwissRol What I'm sure many disliked most, myself included, was how the Sea Devils were made all totally villainous in that story, as opposed to the better qualities they clearly had in this clip with Jon Pertwee.

[@christopherbusby1726]

I loved the string vests.

[@klistarf]

The ONLY Doctor Who 'enemy' to scare the absolute shit out of me, as a kid!!! Even gave me nightmares. I would love to see them return in the modern day, though. Please bring them back!!? Doctor Who rocks... \m/ (:o)

[@glenjarnold]

klistarf When we used to go on a family holiday by the coast, we'd walk along the sea front when it was getting dark and I'd kid my 8 year old sister that the sea devils were going to come out of the sea! 😂

They are coming back! Let’s hope their creepy voice is the same

I love that Iguana look about them.

This was the first Dr who story I ever saw,I was 6!

I remember for weeks after seeing this story I wouldn’t go near the beach.

Beware of the forces that mass against you. And their Master.

[@adrianh332]

They really look like my ex wife, sound a bit like her too.

[@francieel]

THEY'RE BACK!!!!

[@zionleach3001]

I was expecting the voice to be more cheesy. I might watch the earlier Doctor Who episodes.

[@alextheanimator2395]

hope their voice is revamped it's kind of grating sounds like someone whispering into a microphone and adding tremolo in audacity

[@tomimpala]

So are they basically the silurians? A non-human race before man who went underground/water

[@Masterful]

Same family, different adaptation.

[@rafetossked6723]

Cousins

[@judeh8160]

They're share a common ancestor, but Silurians are telepathic and land-dwelling, whilst the Sea Devils are amphibious and larger

[@minicle426]

I wonder if there are any other variants of them? Since we have land and sea covered, perhaps they could introduce one based on flight? 🤔

[@Deanfilms-s7m]

xo

[@mrsamuelwatson12]

So this is what the Silurian’s were mad about in cold blood?

[@judeh8160]

No, that was another occasion lol

[@SamuelBlack84]

After witnessing the unspeakable horror of the 15th 'Doctor' tonight, I wanted to remind myself of what was once true Doctor Who

[@skylarkman2000]

Sooooo very true . Great Dr Who is history sadly .

[@Super_Mario128]

but their appearance would just confuse and alienate the casual viewer that make up the majority of viewers.

[@rodimusrider8798]

it worked for the Sontarans, Silurians, Zygons and Ice Warriors.

[@QuokkaCore]

[@TheValeyard92]

Why?

[@merrybright5732]

A casual viewer would be turned off by the fact that the aliens in the alien show look weird?

[@rogergrigg2056]

I've heard that in the 'new series' the 'Sea Devils' aren't wearing the 'String fishing nets' that 'Eddie Yates' wore all those years ago in 'Coronation Street'. I loved those 'Slimy ugly creatures' even though they 'Shit-me up' as a kid.

[@rocketrob68]

I loved this when I was 6, but what a load of shite

[@zionleach3001]

Well it was a low-budget sci-fi show. 🤷

[@minicle426]

Perhaps in the effects. But certainly not in the writing and performances.
