The second of the trio of Doctor Who specials, the Jodie Whitaker specials, brought back one of the most formidable foes in Doctor Who history as The Doctor and friends venture through 19th-century Chinese waters in search of a mysterious pirate treasure while making uneasy alliances to outsmart the Sea Devils.

| Doctor Who 2022 Special: Legend of the Sea Devils |
No time for lengthy spoilers, as promised, because it's time for some quick impression about this second Jodie Whitaker special. The Sea Devils may be new for modern Whovians but for veteran Whovians who enjoyed both classic and modern DW adventures, the return of those formidable amphibious warrior reptiles, first seen on TV in 1972, is a clear reminder of what classic Who monsters need to make a comeback in the modern Who era and this is it.
With the Sea Devils returned in the modern Who adventures after five decades, seeing The Doctor and friends going treasure-hunting in 19th-century Chinese waters is something The Doctor hasn't done before, although getting involved with pirates is nothing new for our favorite Time Lord. Uneasy alliances, shocking twists, daring decisions, and the return of the "Geronimo" dialogue, this is what the Legend of the Sea Devils is all about.
With The Doctor and friends' pirate adventure against the return of the amphibious warrior reptiles done, the final of the trio of Doctor Who specials, airing this Autumn 2022, will mark the end of the 13th. With a mob of villains gathered and surprising comebacks of DW favorites, expect the 13th Doctor's final journey to be astronomical.
So, are you ready for The End of...The Doctor?
