We’re just a couple of weeks away from the return of Doctor Who for its Easter special Legend of the Sea Devils – and now show boss Chris Chibnall has teased some new plot details for the episode.

In an interview with Doctor Who Magazine, Chibnall revealed that the iconic ship the Flor de la Mar – or more specifically, its lost treasure – will play a role in the special.

“In our story, Madam Ching is on a mission to track down the lost treasure of the Flor de la Mar, a ship that may have been washed up in the waters around the area where we start the story,” he explained.

“She unleashes a terrifying evil that the Doctor has to help everyone deal with.”
