  • While investigating strange power losses at an underground research centre, the Doctor discovers the base camp of a group of intelligent reptiles, termed Silurians, in a nearby cave system. They went into hibernation millions of years ago but have now been revived and fully intend on re-colonising the planet. Can the Doctor convince them there is enough room for both species to live on Earth? Classic clip from The Silurians, first shown in 1970.

      The same reason the Silurians third eye just flashed a la the Daleks in Warriors... The Silurians was a lost story at the time that Warriors Of The Deep was being filmed, so the writers.... guessed! Sadly this isn't a joke.

    I think you can still find them onliine, although it's very hard, made even harder by the BBC's messing around with the revival starting it with Series 1. But it is a crying shame that they don't repeat these old episodes more often on television, considering the popularity of the New Show and the amount they repeat those. It's almost as if they're ashamed of this old and cheap programme and would rather just sell it as high prices to the rabid fanbase
