DOCTOR WHO RETURNS THIS SPRING WITH 'LEGEND OF THE SEA DEVILS' - CAST, PICTURES AND SYNOPSIS

A first look at Doctor Who’s Spring Special has revealed the long awaited return of the Sea Devils, a classic monster first seen with the third Doctor Jon Pertwee in The Sea Devils (1972).

This episode finds the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop) in 19th century China, where a small coastal village is under threat – from both the fearsome pirate queen Madame Ching (Crystal Yu) and a monstrous alien force which she unwittingly unleashes.


Will the Doctor, Yaz and Dan emerge from this swashbuckling battle with the Sea Devils to save the planet?
