To close off semester 1, we continue our re-visit to the Doctor’s previous encounters with Home Aqua.

Unfortunately, he has already subverted the prison, and plans to unleash the denizens of Homo Aqua onto an unsuspecting world. Join us as we watch a special movie length version of the 1972 classic THE SEA DEVILS — their very first appearance! Plan extra time for a movie-length special edition, plus a bonus raffle to say goodbye to the first semester. The adventure begins this Friday January 16th after school in room 226.
DOCTOR WHO CLUB: Coming January 9th
With the recent spin-off featuring the Sea Devils, Doctor Who Club will celebrate the reptilian civilization of Homo Aqua by devoting the final two meetings of semester 1 to their previous encounters with the Doctor. First up will be the 13th Doctor, Yas and Dan encountering a colony of Sea Devils, in the midst of an adventure with pirates in Chinese waters.
