'''''Warriors of the Deep''''' was the first serial of [[season 21]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It marked the return of two enemy races last seen during [[Jon Pertwee]]'s tenure as the [[Third Doctor]]: the [[Silurian]]s and the [[Sea Devil]]s, who make their only televised appearance in the same story. The Silurians and Sea Devils hadn't appeared in the series since ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)|Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'' and ''[[The Sea Devils (TV story)|The Sea Devils]]'' (respectively). | '''''Warriors of the Deep''''' was the first serial of [[Season 21 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 21]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.

Meanwhile, the sea base sends out an unmanned probe to check on the identified reading, just to be sure. Taking note of the probe, Scibus is concerned that they will be detected, but Icthar sends a [[Myrka]], a large aquatic reptile with the ability to electrocute other organisms that the Silurians control, against it; he assures Scibus that the creature will destroy the probe before they are detected. They then descend to a secret underwater berth where their cousin-species, the [[Sea Devil]]s, have long been in hibernation. | Meanwhile, the sea base sends out an unmanned probe to check on the identified reading, just to be sure.
