      Yeah, I honestly forgot that the Sea Devil’s appeared in Chibnall era.

      In contrast, the scenery chewing arguments between Pertwee and Delgado make the 3rd Doctor episodes quite memorable, to me.

      Also they nailed the “creature from the black lagoon” feel in the 3rd Doctor episodes.
