Day 312: The Sea Devils Episode 1

The Sea Devils is an episode of Doctor Who that I know very little about. Up until today, my knowledge of the episode was limited to a vague idea of what the monster looks like, simply from having, at some point, seen a picture or two in a book or online. So, with that in mind, I have very little to say in regards to themes portrayed in the episode, and shall perhaps leave that to my brother when he returns tomorrow. So, now that we have gotten that out of the way, perhaps we should have a look at the costuming of our protagonists.

In this episode, companion Jo Grant wears a wonderful white suit. The outfit appears well made, and practical, a nice change from the less than practical attire of last episode. This outfit adds a sense of importance to the character with the professional looking design. The predominantly white design also works to set Jo apart from the other characters who are dressed predominantly in darker colours.

 The Doctor can be seen in an outfit that is possibly the source of much inspiration for our current Doctor’s (Peter Capaldi) costume. The costume is classy as always, and truly something to be admired.
