Day 315: The Sea Devils Episode 4

The sonic screwdriver is an object that is viewed with some humour these days due to its magic wand like properties whereby it can appear to solve any problem whatsoever. This hasn't always been the case though. The screwdriver itself has mainly been used to either unscrew screws or as a lockpicking device since it has been introduced, keeping true to the way in which the device was originally intended and not stretching the credibility of the use of it as a tool. However, in this episode we begin to see it approach more unbelievable territories as it is used to explode mines across a minefield to distract the titular Sea Devils from crossing it. It stretches the credibility somewhat this device and yet it also allows for a very memorable visual moment, sticking in the hearts and minds of young viewers watching the program, showing that sometimes it's OK to not stick to the rules provided that it will produce something cool in the process.
