I don’t know about you guys, but the announcement of what classic Doctor Who monster is being brought back for the latest season is always what I look forward to most during the awful in-between seasons period.

So, which classic monster does Steven Moffat say he wants to bring back?

“The classic monster I always look at bringing back are the Sea Devils, the design of them is amazing, they are beautiful and bizarre. I haven’t thought of anything to do with them yet. But I think they’re quite extraordinary in their conception.”

Not the choice I was expecting, not gonna lie. The Sea Devils, aquatic cousins of the Silurians, originally appeared in their eponymous 7-parter in 1972, and reappeared more than a decade later alongside their earth based cousins in 1984’s Warriors of the Deep. In which they wore samurai armour for some reason. No, I’m not joking.

On the topic of bringing back other classic monsters, Steven said:

“I have a very long list of monsters to bring back , you know. As well as the Sea Devils I do have a couple of others in my mind, but I might be doing those so I’m not telling you what they are!”

While I trust it could be done well, it does seem like a strange choice to me. We already have a New Who version of homo reptilia, do we really need the other half? Especially when faced with other monsters who clearly deserve an epic return more. Yes I’m still waiting for Attack of the Chumblies.

Anyway, what do you guys think? Are you for the return of the aquatic antagonists? What classic monsters would you like to see return?
