Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA model of a submarine was created by purchasing a Woolworth's submarine model kit and then altering the propeller. By chance, the alterations to the model strongly resembled an actual prototype submarine being developed by the Ministry of Defence. After footage of the model was broadcast as part of the story, Barry Letts received a visit from two Ministry of Defence officials, who were concerned that the footage was of the prototype.
- GoofsAfter Jo Grant releases the Doctor and helps trip up the guard, they both exit the cell forgetting to pick up Jo's purse from behind the door. But when we see them climb down the rope on the beach, she is wearing the purse across her body.
- Crazy creditsThe BBC wish to acknowledge the help given to them by the Royal Navy in the making of this programme
Featured review
Another good episode.
The Master has managed to flip the tables on The Doctor, with The Doctor tied up, The Master puts his plan into operation.
There is no invasion, no stealth, the threat.... is already here, and waiting deep in the water.
It's good, it's a solid continuation, it does drag a little bit, but that ending was terrific, the images of The Sea Devils climbing out of the sea were terrific, very visual. Overall it's a little sluggish.
I'm not fussed on the character of Trenchard, he's a little lacking in originality, we've seen this time of character before, and better.
Solid, 7/10.
