The Doctor offers to broker peaceful negotiations between the sea-creatures and the humans, recalling how he failed in his earlier attempt with the Silurians. Whilst the crew prepare for battle, the Doctor is seized by the sea creatures. The Doctor and Jo once again flee to the naval base where Captain Hart tells them a submarine has disappeared. A battle for the prison ensues during which Trenchard is killed. He summons them and they begin to emerge from the sea. The Doctor discovers that the Master, with the misguided aid of his ostensible jailor Colonel Trenchard, is stealing electrical equipment from the naval base to build a machine that will control the so-called Sea Devils, intending to use them as an army through which to conquer the world. Curious, he investigates a sea fortress, where he and Jo are attacked by a sea-adapted bipedal reptile, called a Sea Devil by one witness.
As they depart, the Doctor hears of ships mysteriously disappearing. Despite his claim to have reformed, he refuses to reveal the location of his TARDIS. The Third Doctor and Jo visit the Master, imprisoned on a small island in the English Channel. In the serial, the alien time traveller the Master ( Roger Delgado) makes contact with the Sea Devils, a bipedal marine race that ruled the Earth before humanity, and plots to use them to reconquer the Earth from humanity.
The serial is set in various locations in and beneath the English Channel. The serial is notable as the first appearance of the Sea Devils and features extensive location filming in cooperation with the Royal Navy, as well as an experimental electronic score by Malcolm Clarke.
It was written by Malcolm Hulke and directed by Michael E. The Sea Devils is the third serial of the ninth season of the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in six weekly parts on BBC1 from 26 February to 1 April 1972.
