R.I.P. :(

A special re-edited edition of Classic Doctor Who adventure The Sea Devils heads to BBC iPlayer and BBC Four on 7th December. Fans are set to be transported back to 1972 with a newly re-edited version of the classic Doctor Who story The Sea Devils, airing on BBC iPlayer from 6am and BBC Four at 7pm on Sunday 7th December, ahead of the foes’ highly anticipated return in The War Between the Land and the Sea at 8:30pm on BBC iPlayer and BBC One. This new 90-minute blockbuster special condenses the original six-part adventure into a feature-length experience, with updated sound design by Mark Ayres, and an enhanced score featured in The War Between the Land and the Sea created by the legendary Lorne Balfe, which has been woven together with Malcolm Clarke’s groundbreaking 1972 music. The Sea Devils stars Jon Pertwee who played the Third Doctor between 1970 and 1974, alongside Katy Manning as companion Jo Grant, and features the iconic villain the Master, played by Roger Delgado. Written by Malcolm Hulke and directed by Michael E. Briant, the story introduced audiences to the formidable aquatic species the Sea Devils. Russell T Davies, Showrunner, Writer and Executive Producer says: “52 years after they first rose from the depths, it’s Sea Devil night across the BBC! A great idea never dies, and viewers young and old can now heed the warning: watch the seas!” The special version of The Sea Devils will air on BBC iPlayer from 6am and BBC Four at 7pm on Sunday 7th December, and will be followed by a double bill of The War Between the Land and the Sea at 8:30pm on BBC iPlayer and BBC One. The Sea Devils is produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios for BBC Four and BBC iPlayer. Executive producers are Russell T Davies, Joel Collins, Julie Gardner, and Jane Tranter. https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/classic-adventure-the-sea-devils-returns-to-screens-in-december

I have no idea who she was, what series, what her moments were, let alone remember this existing. You remember some BB stars and moments but a lot is just forgettable and you struggle to remember anything about them and she is one of them,. As for the song, pretty pointless release nothing on Lulu's version.
