THE RETURN OF 'THE SEA DEVILS'!

Classic Target Book cover art by Chris Achilleos.

Following on from the controversial but successful colourized edits of The Daleks and The War Games, BBC 4 now screens an all-new compilation of Jon Pertwee's The Sea Devils, airing on December 7th, 2025, featuring an enhanced incidental music score (real meaning: mostly replacing Malcolm Clarke's work) from British Mission: Impossible movies talent Lorne Balfe.

The memorable Frank Bellamy listings art back in 1972 for the Radio Times.

It should be another interesting watch, of which the Pertwee era has always been a favourite/audience-puller during the Christmas viewing season.

Special re-edited edition of Classic Doctor Who adventure The Sea Devils heads to BBC iPlayer and BBC Four on 7 December
