Modern Series Episode 179:
Legend Of The Sea Devils

Plot

In 1807 China, pirate queen Madam Ching searches for the treasure of the Flor De La Mar, lost two and a half centuries earlier. Her quest leads her to a strange statue in a small village, where she inadvertently unleashes a long-dormant Sea Devil. The arrival of the Doctor, Yaz and Dan is greeted by horror at the Sea Devil's trail of slaughter -- and astonishment that it captains a pirate ship of its own! Forging an uneasy alliance with Madam Ching and the young Ying Ki, the statue's guardian, the time travellers must uncover the connection between the Sea Devil and the treasure's last owner: the legendary pirate Ji-Hun.
