I have been a big fan of the unique Doctor Who series since I was a boy. My local PBS set extinct to race Doctor Who on Saturday night, and it was a highlight of my boyhood weekends. As a boy, the episodes being released in this space were among my favorites because I loved sea monsters and the Silurians and Sea Devils were ample looking creatures.

As an adult, I now have a special appreciation for the novel nature of the Silurians and Sea Devils in the history of Doctor Who creatures. Most of the antagonists that the Doctor encounters in the series are foul aliens and monsters crooked on destruction and conquest. But the Silurians and Sea Devils aren’t. Instead, they were the new inhabitants of the Earth during pre-historic times, and they want their planet abet from the “ape-descended primitives” who now contain it, i.e. humans. If you leer it from their point of notion, they objective want their home befriend. The Doctor does discover it, and several times seeks to negotiate a peace between them and humanity, pointing out that both species can piece the planet since the reptilian Silurians can live in environments that humans avoid.
In “the Silurians”, the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) makes his first attempt at negotiated settlement between humanity and the Silurians. But he is thwarted by closed minded individuals among both the Silurians and Humans. In many ways, the humans witness more improper than the Silurians in this storyline, although some of the Silurians do steal frightening steps to try to wipe out humanity. In the kill, human awe takes advantage of the Doctor’s success in countering the destructive plans of the rogue Silurians. The Doctor finds himself disgusted by humanity and even by the actions of his friend, the Brigadier. By the draw, for fans of the Brigadier, this anecdote represents some of Nicholas Courtney’s best work on the series.

In “the Sea Devils,” a cousin species of the Silurians begins to pop up off the glide of Britain and strike out against the humans who once again have invaded their territory. Once again, the Doctor (Pertwee) attempts a negotiated settlement. But this time his plans are thwarted by the Master, who wishes to exercise the Sea Devils and their beneficial technology to conquer humanity.
Fast forward in time a decade to the years of Peter Davidson as the Doctor. The Silurians and Sea Devils, together, return in a future Earth time period for the glowing Doctor Who fable “Warriors of the Deep.” This time, the Silurians and Sea Devils will not hear the Doctor’s entreaties for a negotiated settlement with humanity. Their previous experience with humans has taught them that the human run can not be trusted. They choose they have no alternative but to wipe out humanity once and for all in order to reclaim the world they once called home.
To do so, they assault and catch over an undersea missile sinister to originate a nuclear war that will kill the “ape-primitives” with their gain weapons. The Doctor is forced to build a choice-either ruin the Silurians and Sea Devils or let them slaughter all of humanity? In the Doctor’s acquire simple, yet heartbreakingly spoken words, “there should have been another map.” This compelling memoir gives Peter Davidson a chance to shine as a dramatic actor, with the Doctor not obvious who he is more exasperated with-the Silurians or the humans. Especially since in a sub-story, human agents from a rival power have also infiltraited the sea immoral and unleash slay and treachery even amongst the Silurian and Sea Devil onslaught.
I am so glad that these stories that span two Doctors and two decades are being released as a residence. The stories of the Doctor’s encounters with the Silurians and Sea Devils I assume will become all the more compelling when taken as a whole. If the DVD quality is as pleasurable as the other Doctor Who releases have been so far, especially in terms of the commentaries and special features, this status will be a must have for Doctor Who fans.
This would be a perfect DVD boxset were it not for the bad Warriors of the Deep. Although my favourite Who stories are mostly on the comedy side of things, I do like the dramatic ones as well, and Silurians highlights everything advantageous about Pertwee’s first season.
Individual rankings:
The Silurians- 5 stars
The Sea Devils- 4 stars
Warriors of the Deep- 1 star.
On average is 3.33 stars, hence the rating. The Silurians feels like you’ve been through a war, roughly three hour sage of a species that came here on the earth first, and now want to claim the earth for themselves. Unlike later stories like Curse of Fenric where they basically hit you over the head with what they want you to enjoy, this one is more up for debate, and you can basically believe what you want to assume. And people credit Spearhead with the most iconic Pertwee image of mannequin’s coming to life, but the image of people dying from the Silurian virus all over London sticks even more in my mind. It’s a disease that is seemingly unstoppable…
The Sea Devils is a splendid escapist adventure, but it gets knocked down a star for basically being a remake of the same adventure. It’s done well, with the Doctor-Master rivalry making for some expedient moments, and again, it’s a splendid account that sticks in your mind, but it feels a bit too mighty like a retread to give it 5 stars.
Warriors of the Deep is fair dreary annoying. It’s one thing to not consider Doctor Who by it’s budget limitations, but it’s another when the character of the monster is really brought down. The slowed-down speech of the Silurians and the Sea Devils alone grate on the nerves. It takes forever to rep into the record, the first episode feeling more like two hours rather than twenty five minutes. Tegan and Turlough may as well be any other companion, and the storyline. Not to mention trying to produce the Fifth Doctor map too moralistic with him condenming the human bad for trying to slay the Silurians and Sea Devils (when they’ve destroyed half their crew) It worked in Silurians and Sea Devils because you could genuinely enjoy there was a chance to portion the earth, but not in this atmosphere. The only thing that serial got good was the classic line “There should’ve been another scheme.” Too proper.
