Doctor Who: BBC & BBCA Release New "Legend of the Sea Devils" Images

Before Russell T. Davies returns to take over as showrunner (with a new Doctor along for the run), The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Yaz (Mandip Gill), and Dan (John Bishop) still need to confront the "Legend of the Sea Devils" in the second of Whittaker & showrunner Chris Chibnall's final three episodes before ending their run (with the final special set for later this year).
