 Doctor Who: Fury from the Deep - A Second Doctor Adventure 
 with the Sea Silurians 
  
 Based on the information from the website 
 [invalid URL doctor who fury from the deep ON Chakoteya.net], 
 here's a review of Doctor Who: Fury from the Deep: 
  
 Story 
  
 The TARDIS materializes on an oil rig  in  the  North Sea. 
 The Doctor (Second Doctor)  and  companions 
 Jamie  and  Victoria  discover  an  intelligent 
 reptilian  humanoid  race  called  the  Silurians 
 living  beneath  the  sea.  The  Silurians  are  in 
 conflict  with  humans  drilling  for  oil, 
 and  the  narrative  follows  the  Doctor's  efforts 
 to  prevent  war  between  the  two  species. 
  
 Review (Based on Summary): 
  
     Unique Monsters: The Silurians offer a different kind 
  of threat compared to Daleks or Cybermen. This could 
  be interesting for fans who want variety in their villains. 
   
     Underwater Setting: The story takes place on an oil rig 
  and explores the undersea environment, providing a unique backdrop. 
   
     Limited Character Development (Based on Summary): 
  The summary doesn't detail much about the development 
  of the Doctor, Jamie, or Victoria in this serial. 
  
 Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information): 
  
     Classic Who's Production Values: Special effects 
  in classic Doctor Who were limited by the era's technology. 
  The depiction of the Silurians and the underwater setting 
  might not be realistic by modern standards. 
   
     Slow Pacing: Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured a slower 
  narrative pace compared to modern iterations. 
  
 Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope): 
  
 "Fury from the Deep"  presents  a  unique  monster 
 in  the  Silurians  and  a  distinctive  underwater 
 setting.  This  could  be  appealing  for  fans  looking 
 for  a  departure  from  usual  Doctor Who  enemies 
 and  environments.  However,  the  potential  for  dated 
 production  values  and  slower  pacing  could  be  drawbacks. 
  
 Would I Recommend Watching It? 
  
     For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 6/10 
  (Likely worth watching if you enjoy the Second Doctor era 
  and don't mind less common enemies. The underwater 
  setting adds interest) 
   
     For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10 (The unique monster 
  and setting might hold some interest, but the potential 
  for dated effects and slower pace could be less appealing) 
  
 Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide: 
  
     If possible, try to find reviews that mention the special effects 
  used for the Silurians and the underwater setting. This can help 
  you gauge how they might hold up today. 
   
     Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series. 
  If you're new to classic Who, consider watching other stories 
  featuring the Second Doctor to get a feel for the era's aesthetics 
  and storytelling before diving into "Fury from the Deep". 
  
 I hope this helps!  While "Fury from the Deep"  has  unique  elements, 
 the  potential  for  dated  production  values  is a consideration, 
 especially  for  new  viewers.
