PLOT SUMMARY
An underwater sea base is conducting missile tests that disturb the
last of the Silurians, who in turn revive a colony of Sea Devils. The
Doctor must combat his old enemies.
CAPSULE REVIEW
Old monsters brought back because they looked great and then re-designed
so what's the point? Good script, but seven years on from the Hinchcliffe
era, production design and lighting were bog standard and created no
atmosphere. Transmission was moved to consecutive weekday nights.
