@@IceMetalPunk Serve you, Sutekh? Your name is abominated in every civilised world, whether that name be Set, Satan, Sodos I remember thinking it would have been a great reveal if it was Sutekh in the pit...
Imagine doing a job 50 years ago, for a maybe a couple of days recording in a sound studio, then be invited back over half a lifetime later to revisist that character. Not to mention his work as the Beast back in series 2.
RTD's gleeful, shameless lying is one of things I always loved about him the most as show runner. It's such a good way to throw people off the scent and avoid spoilers, and you can just tell he enjoys so much fooling us time and time again.
What, nothing about bringing back Gabriel Woolf, the actor who literally have Sutekh's his voice past and present?! I mean, that voice IS Sutekh! One could have depicted a sock puppet on screen and that voice would still make the thing terrifying!
@@kalinystazvoruna8702 Yeah, the credits listed him. My frustration is with this video not mentioning anything about the actor who made Sutekh so memorable.
@@Redfern42 I think they're saving all the big Sutehk stuff for next week's behind the scenes. And let's not forget that Gabriel Woolf was also the voice of Satan in the Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit - nice bit of sideways continuity
Really interesting to see how they did the effects for the time window. I was curious about that effect when watching the episode because it did look very cool with the mixture of the flooring for the room being visible and yet they were "in" the VHS recording. There's also something very amusing about them calling the cue for this icon called the TARDIS and in rolls a humble tennis ball.
In terms of the tennis ball I do wonder if they could have instead made a lighter model of the Tardis and put it on a base that can rotate to have more realistic movement. Especially as we’ve already hit the deck before we transition to that inside shot. But saying that, given the amount of other practical effects and budget sucking VFX used I can see why they did this
I wouldn't call Sutekh forgotten, he's from one of the most popular classic series episodes ever in the height of the original show's popularity. The Toymaker is interesting but his story is mostly missing and only got a home release after the episode where he reappears.
Definitely not forgotten, though I was very surprised that people wanted him back so badly. I thought Pyramids of Mars was just okay, nothing super special or memorable, so I kinda just assumed that Sutekh was one of those average villains fans ask to see back just for the sake of it (especially since the Sea Devils have never had a good story and fans were even more vocal about wanting them back for years). So far though, I like what they're doing with him in this story.
I genuently have to say: My biggest respect for the Visual effects and costume department! I mean, everything in this episode is practically perfect, the writing, the camera work, EVERYTHING! But man! Sutekh, the Skullfaces AND the time window! It's amazing! My biggest respect to EVERYONE involved!
Can't help noticing how recent films and TV shows that have really drawn people in - Dune, The Expanse, Everything, Everywhere All At Once - they all use a great deal of practical effects rather than just CGI. I'm so glad that Doctor Who continues in that tradition. I'm not surprised really. There's a very long habit in Doctor Who of doing this. But it's gratifying that they have really leant into it.
@@kalinystazvoruna8702 think about it. Americans? With the ability to time travel? You've seen their movies. It'd be more likely that Britain has a fully functional TARDIS in some underground facility.
during boom they did shoot a scene where the inside of the tardis was on the led screen and the exterior was on set so technically it was a real tardis?
The villain reveal was epic! Also the time window scene was very cool, stepping into a VHS tape. Knowing that they did most of that in practical effects is amazing!
The Time Window and the way it glitches and the sounds it makes, reminds me of Detroit: Become Human, when you play as Connor and you use the "reconstruct" to find out what happened at a crime scene.
Really glad we got some more down-to-earth moments with Kate. I've always felt she needs more moments where she relates her upbringing as the Brig's daughter to the Doctor.
@@stephenmurphy2212Yes. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If they do end up doing the UNIT spin-off, this needs to happen in at least one episode.
As @a 65 year old man I apologise if I have not voiced my opinion before now, but I must say that those that are accusing Dr Who of becoming too woke are WRONG! It has EVOLVEd with the TIMES! I can remember watching Dr Who since the second Doctor, and have LIVED through the changes in society that Dr Who reflects so well. Yes, there are some weak episodes in each re-incarnation, but to say that the Dr Who production team is trying to please the. Woke brigade with the latest re-incarnation is utter rubbish. LOOk at the FACTS people! We now live in a society where if you do not wish to watch an episode when it is broadcast, you can CATCh UP on various platforms. Viewing habits have changed dramatically sine the mid 2000’s re-boot! Overnight/weekly figures are NOT going to replicate those of the 2000’s, or the 60’s,70’s,80’s! I consider myself quit au-fait with technology, and can agree width message that Dot and Bubble is conveying. That doesn’t make it ‘woke’! You see examples all of the time where younger generations cannot communicates effectively because that Yes spend too much time on social media. In addition, yes, there is still a problem with accepting each other’s differences, whether they be colour, gender etc., but the problem will not be resolved by people voicing opinions on social media, they are resolved by talking to each other face to face! As a 65 Year old white British man, I applaud the fact that we have had a female Dr Who, now followed by a black Dr Who! Ok, some of the stories haven’t been the best, but that’s the melting pot of life! Previous incarnations of Dr Who have all had their dud story lines! GIVE THE SERIES A BREAK! The fact that it has lasted long nough to celebrate it’s 60th anniversary should be applauded!!!
You reflect the logic of every human being that has a tiny ounce of compassion has. Thank you for posting this comment, it's the best comment I've seen in ages. If more people "changed with the times" like you clearly have, this world would be a much better place. Thank you, again.
I totally agree. Well said. I'm a 53 year old female who was introduced to Doctor Who just as it was ending it's first run. From the US and it speaks to me in a way American science fiction shows didn't. It has changed and evolved just like society around it has. But then everyone has to be an armchair critic (nitpicking), instead of just enjoying the ride.
I'm 64, and am not even sure there are weak episodes - the fan base stretches from 3 to 100+ and the episodes that don't appeal to me so much are usually favourites for my youngest grandkids. We regularly do Doctor Who evenings when they visit.
The visuals on this episode were SO good, especially the Time Window. Jamie Donoughue did a brilliant job in directing everything as well. Loved it, bring him back next season too!
I just want to say how much I adore the effort they put into having effects be as practical as possible, no green screens, stuff like that. There's a lot of integrity in that, and I think that shows through in the final result. I was honestly shocked learning how they did the Time Window especially, it would have been so easy to go 'oh we'll just green screen it', but they didn't, and they even talk about 'yeah, having stuff be as real as possible makes it easier for the actors and helps them give better performances'. Lots of respect.
When Kate starts thinking about her father telling her stories about the Doctor, there's this feeling like he left out a few things! The feeling of losing someone in your command isn't something you can appreciate from hearing about it, you literally have to experience it! And once you do a part of the romanticized feeling about the Doctor is gone. You know at some point he's going to hop on his TARDIS and run off to elsewhere. There's a look in Kate's eyes when all this reality pops in her mind and you can read it on her face clear as day. 😔
Ruby must be Horus reincarnation. Horus, Egyptian god with the power of the sun rays. Ruby Sun-Day, just as Horus who defeated Sutekh in the ancient Egypt almost 3.000+ years ago. Actually, Ruby's age as shown in Boom is 3082 years.
Ruby's age would be because Boom is set over 2000 years in the future... But the rest of the theory seems plausible! And it could explain why we're set to get a new companion next series rather than Ruby
The first episode i watched of classic who was the final part of Pyramids of Mars. i remember seeing sutekh and being scared. Well done guys hes still scary
I can't wait for next week's finale. It needs to be about 6 hours long to be able to tie up all the lose ends in a nice, neat bow. It is going to feel like an eternity before the next season starts back up. More Dr who please!!!!
As soon as I saw Sutekh returned and after watching the episode four or five times. I went back and did a rewatch of the Pyramids of Mars episode with Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen(R.I.P. Sarah Jane Smith).
I love to see these very complex sci-fi tech being basically all practical effects! It's really hard to find this today and I just really appreciate it. Also, mad respect for the arts department, the costumes, make up, prosthetics, sets... EVERYTHING is absolutely FANTASTIC!! Can't wait for the next episode 🔥
I can imagine a world were it would be Sarah Jane instead of Mel in this episode, if her actress hadn't sadly passed away.. It would have been crazier to have both the Doc and her freak out.
4:35 I can't believe how far Doctor Who has come since 1963 or 1988 when I started watching properly, but I also can't believe how far Unreal Engine has come since I played Unreal 1 in 1999! My faves!
This episode was breathtaking. Seeing that it is mostly practical is amazing. And non pacifical VFX was only used what it is absolutely needed, and executed perfectly. Amazing. Disney money in good use.
I'm wondering how they're going to explain this. In Pyramid of Mars, Sutekh was a member of a godlike race of aliens, but not gods like Maestro or the Toymaker were. But here, they're saying he's like the oldest and the first of the pantheon, as well as the most powerful, so that's more than a race of godlike aliens. Perhaps getting killed in the time corridor changed him into a god? Or perhaps the one we saw in 1975 was merely an avatar for the real Sutekh? I can't wait to find out!
i dont mean any disrespect by this but i think i prefer Moris over Shirley haha, Moris just fits right in, and would also make the 13 year olds feel more comfortable and love the show more!
It'd been a while since I saw Pyramids of Mars and didn't catch who it was until I looked him up!! Now I'm so excited!!! I've been waiting on his return as long as I have for the Toymaker!!! :D
@@Not_An_EV yeah but also what's that "thing" that she's giving to the world? I didn't catch it did they ever say what it was? Anyways I think she's a time lord also she couldn't be susan?
RTD PLEASE do more with The Vlinx!! It needs more personality. Like a Star Wars Druid that you can't help but love even if it has no dialog or facial features. They have so much personality. That's what we need from The Vlinx. Please! ..... also, while you're reading this (🤞🤞🤞) RIVER SONG Spin Off pretty pretty, please 🙏 ❤ Loving this new series 😍
There are so many different characters who work well together in unit that they'd honestly be stupid to not do a spinoff, the episode kind of felt like a crossover episode between another show
Can I point out something that could be a slight giveaway at 4:03/4:05.. In the Time Window Setup there is a VFX layout with likenesses of the characters whilst in the window. One shot sees the VFX with the hooded figure, and then shortly after (in a kind of blink and you may miss it), there is a VFX of a woman with the Hood Down, with what looks like white hair
On the last episode when they are rewatching in the Time Window when the doctor comes out of the tardis the door is left open when he come back the door is closed so it the woman pointing at the tardis!
i would love to see that unreal engine spot in VR to just experience it. hell. make it a game where the doctor needs your help. you need to stand still for this to do this so its PERFECT
"Oh. A dog. That's cute. Anybody in this room afraid of dogs? Raise your hand. Come on, now, be honest. By the way are you house trained? Because the last thing I want is for my men to be cleaning up your droppings while they're working with me to help stop you and send you back to wherever you came." - Kate Stewart
I just re-watched the prologue to Pyramid of Mars and it says that the Osirians, of which Sutekh is one, were so advanced and powerful that "they became like gods. As well as developing technology and science, the Osirians developed powers of pure thought bending the physical world to their will by the power of their minds alone. As they grew in power, so they grew in wisdom... all but one. His name was Sutekh." (from the Pyramids of Mars Prologue)

Sutekh’s reveal reminded me a lot of Gozer’s resurrection in Ghostbusters: Afterlife in the best way. Loved it.
i dont mean any disrespect by this but i think i prefer Moris over Shirley haha, Moris just fits right in, and would also make the 13 year olds feel more comfortable and love the show more!
The time window was AWESOME big time, I thought it was the definitive high light of the episode maybe the series
It'd been a while since I saw Pyramids of Mars and didn't catch who it was until I looked him up!! Now I'm so excited!!! I've been waiting on his return as long as I have for the Toymaker!!! :D
4:06 - is it Susan Twist under the hood?
Nah its gonna be Mrs Flood
@@Not_An_EV Really 👀?
@@sosh732 Honestly, idk I'm just grasping at straws 😂
It just seemed weird to set her up and do nothing with it, yknow?
@@Not_An_EV yeah but also what's that "thing" that she's giving to the world? I didn't catch it did they ever say what it was? Anyways I think she's a time lord also she couldn't be susan?
I think it might be ruby herself...
I didn’t know him I wish I was shocked as everybody else
gibbons is my favorite he is precious to me. what a lad
RTD PLEASE do more with The Vlinx!! It needs more personality. Like a Star Wars Druid that you can't help but love even if it has no dialog or facial features. They have so much personality. That's what we need from The Vlinx. Please! ..... also, while you're reading this (🤞🤞🤞) RIVER SONG Spin Off pretty pretty, please 🙏 ❤
Loving this new series 😍
Amazing episode
Loved it!
This was the best episode of the new series by far hopefully episode 8 tops this one
Love, love, love this episode!
MARVELOUS, EVERYTHING
There are so many different characters who work well together in unit that they'd honestly be stupid to not do a spinoff, the episode kind of felt like a crossover episode between another show
Very good indeed 🎉🎉❤❤
Oh my God! Millie so sweet!
The Time Windows is the same as the Star Trek Holodeck room right?
Is the spin hard landing (ouch! You know she's alive, right?) going to be the default for the TARDIS now versus the materialisation?
This episode brought me right back to watching the doctor on Sunday nights on PBS in America with all the neighbor kids. We were transfixed.
honestly was shocked of how short this season is but honestly I get it, the VFX/sets/props I can imagine it's very expensive
Honestly, the second half of the episode was so good that I'd forgotten whatever is going on with Flood.
Easily one of my favorite episodes this season.
Jemma Redgrave is a goddess.
Can I point out something that could be a slight giveaway at 4:03/4:05.. In the Time Window Setup there is a VFX layout with likenesses of the characters whilst in the window. One shot sees the VFX with the hooded figure, and then shortly after (in a kind of blink and you may miss it), there is a VFX of a woman with the Hood Down, with what looks like white hair
I would’ve loved seeing Sutekh scratch the face of the tardis, his claws almost did!
On the last episode when they are rewatching in the Time Window when the doctor comes out of the tardis the door is left open when he come back the door is closed so it the woman pointing at the tardis!
i would love to see that unreal engine spot in VR to just experience it. hell. make it a game where the doctor needs your help. you need to stand still for this to do this so its PERFECT
"Oh. A dog. That's cute. Anybody in this room afraid of dogs? Raise your hand. Come on, now, be honest. By the way are you house trained? Because the last thing I want is for my men to be cleaning up your droppings while they're working with me to help stop you and send you back to wherever you came." - Kate Stewart
but isn't sutekh not just a "powerful alien" whereas Toymaker and Maestro are transdimensional beings?
No, he’s part of the pantheon along with the others
@@AwesomeSauce11823 not in Pyramids of Mars?
Maybe the Sutekh body, with the family drama and all, was just another vessel like Susan Triad.
@@ArakkoaChroniclesthat could be
I just re-watched the prologue to Pyramid of Mars and it says that the Osirians, of which Sutekh is one, were so advanced and powerful that "they became like gods. As well as developing technology and science, the Osirians developed powers of pure thought bending the physical world to their will by the power of their minds alone. As they grew in power, so they grew in wisdom... all but one. His name was Sutekh." (from the Pyramids of Mars Prologue)
Great Episode but I almost laughed out loud when the CGI cloud transformed into the big rat muppet.🤣🤣🤣
Loved every second. ❤️💙
