That organ music has been living rent free in my head for over 20 years now
Since 1990 for me. It was the second vhs I owned after Death To The Daleks which I got for my 12th birthday in 1989.
Since the 1970s!
I remember this episode, especially the music, and I’m soooo glad the music has evolved since then... My poor ears! 😅
2:49 I bring Sutekh's gift of fatal shoulder massaging to all humans!
What's impressive about this scene is the simple combination of the dry ice, the impassive slow black figure and the slightly fussy, but fearful way "Ibrahim Amin" reacts to it all. Beautiful lingering scream to top it off.
So much better than the overblown CGI histrionics at the end of "Legend".
English people in the 1970s were perilously fragile. Shoulder massages would kill a grown man in under 20 seconds, and a light tap on the back of the neck would send them into a coma for hours.
@@spiralx6249Less is more.
😆😆😆😆
"Is this the face of Sutekh?"
*"Well, how can I tell with that helmet on?"*
😄
If he asked that, the gift of death would be on his neck instead of his shoulders lol
No it was Marcus Scarman's reanimated corpse.
@@MediaArchive2-z9f I was just having a joke.
It's the new Darth Helmet!
🤣👍
@@AndrewChapman I know but just thought I would tell them it's not actually him.
It was a really good idea to bring Sutekh back, I loved the dramatic crescendo during the reveal, even if, like the Toymaker when we saw 1st Doc flashback, I would love to see 4th Doc flashbacks! Maybe in Empire of Death 👀
Would be awesome to have a proper ‘Previously On’ that recaps Pyramids of Mars
@@ParzivalTheThird That would have telegraphed the reveal thereby completely undercutting any dramatic tension
@@tmage23 i mean it could easily be done for empire of death
I personally disagree, as I thought that aside from pyramids of mars being a class episode, it was always a prime example of how doctor who could pull off brilliant one off villains... But here they are bringing him back. Don't get me wrong pyramids of mars will always be great but to me personally it'll lose some of that uniqueness now that Surely returns
@@Charlesingworth I can understand yes :o
As an American New Whovian, I’m very happy you’re showing these “Pyramids of Mars” clips- I’ve been scrounging the interwebs for all the background information I could find!
I think the classics are on Britbox and Tubi in the US. Pyramids of Mars is in season 13.
I've been a Whovian since 2011, would like me to help with any other questions that you have?
Also on Pluto TV.
It's on Tubi for free, I watched it after watching the new episode!
@@jagothegamer5750 I already have the dvd.
The burning footsteps is such an awesome practical effect. How did they do that ?
Dry ice.
Wonder how many takes it took to get right.
You can see that there are raised pads below where the Figure walks. They were filled with dry ice that'd bleed through the carpet upon being stepped on (and operated off screen)
Glad someone else asked this. That is the most impressive effect to me in all the classic Who that I’ve watched, it always stands out.
A & B chemical smoke. Two surfaces are coated with two different chemicals and when combined they smoke. Banned now because the fumes were toxic.
Hope RTD brings the robot servators back, just so Ncuti can say "Are you my mummy?”.
I just watched the episode for the first time and it was also the first complete Classic Doctor Who episode I ever watched. I can understand why RTD was eager to bring Sutekh back because if he was just a threat in the past even so he was bound how much of a threat must he be now that he´s released? The next episode will surely be exciting.
"I never use firearm"
Bro used a geterasedfromthetimeline-inator on a guy 😭
Welcome to Doctor Who.
The D-Mat gun was like 2 season after this 🤣
He's used them before as well, someone wasn't paying attention.
@@milesharbord9339 I think of it like an alcoholic saying they don't drink. They did, they don't want to again, but might, and yet they don't currently imbibe so kinda true.
...But he didn't use a firearm! Loophole!
Saw this on repeat when I was young. This death scene scared me so much. Amazing to see Sutekh back!
He sold that scream just right, didn't he?
@@charlesashe-nn2sf Yes, it was a great performance. The sure terror & anguish in the scream was amazing.
Yep. That's 'my' Doctor.

(Edit) If Elizabeth was still alive, it totally would have been Sarah Jane, who came and helped The 15th Doctor when Sutekh returns.
I miss Lis Sladen so much.
I’ll never forget how sad I was as a kid watching the Newsround bulletin that announced her death. Before the newsreader had even finished his sentence, my gut told me she was gone.
you mean 15th. not 14.
@shu4035 oh dang, right. Thanks.
@@shu4035no it's 15 doctor David Tennant is the 14th doctor don't you guys watch tv my god 😅
@@rydogcourtz911 I’m talking about the current doctor as I assume that is what SharpDesign is also talking about. 14 is not coming back 15 is Ncuti. Stop with the insults.
Spooky organ music always gonna make me think of Ghost and Mr Chicken
So theoretically, the dude saying “I bring Sutekhs gift of Death” in this clip could be considered Sutekhs Harbinger in the original story here. I know it’s not Harriet, but who’s to say it isn’t the same creature that just possessed Harriet later? Because Harriet seems to be crying before her face morphs, so maybe Harriet was a real people who got possessed by this Figure from the original story.
"The dude" was a very human archaeologist. Who dies, turning to dust, when Sutekh releases his hold. Harriet and Susan are probably already dead, just as he was.
@@spiralx6249 Meh, just a theory. But fair enough
Doctor Who Forever
Loving new season bringing back old faces.
But they seem to be going back to any character that they can spin as magical rather than just straight up aliens. It seems like they're trying to turn it into fantasy rather than science fiction... Not that sutekh is magical, but they seem to portray him as magical in this recent show
@@milesharbord9339 Sci Fi and fantasy sometimes intertwine. I won't criticize it until I see the finale. ☺️ I just think they have a bigger budget so made him more Egyptian Mythology looking.
Even old voices. Gabriel Woolf is still voicing Sutekh.
@milesharbord9339 my current working theory is that Sutekh and the Osirans were actual deities, but the race was so ancient that the Doctor (and by extension, the Time Lords as a species) assumed that the mystical feats attributed to them were just misunderstood acts of science.
@@milesharbord9339I wouldn't call it magical so much as eldritch. They're dealing with forces beyond our reality. The rules simply don't apply when it comes to them.
Should have ended with a Colin Baker -style zoom in to The Doctor and Sarah's faces 😱😱
Nah. Just that sad little dead body, with the black masked figure impassively bent over it, smoke wisping, is enough. Less is more, here.
Yo its been so long since we've since sutekh, I miss tom baker bro he was my favourite
Apparently he was a bit of a chaotic nightmare to work with, but yeah, he was really the best.
@@milesharbord9339 Dunno. I preferred Pat and Jon more. Tom was alright, but like David I never understood what the big song and dance was all about. 🤷♂️
@@milesharbord9339 He mainly started being like that after Elisabeth Sladen left as he loved working with her. After she left, he kept wanting to be without companions like in "The Deadly Assassin".
Glad to see Sutekh. Should of realized it was him when in the Beatles episode the doctor showed Ruby alternate time.
I watched this yesterday. I'd seen it before, but the only thing I remembered were the mummies.
That actor really sold that doomed servant's death scream at the end.
Whoever owns the Sarah Jane adventures : on the second disc of season 3 is the whole episodes.
I was so happy when I found that out. 😅😊
"i never use a firearm" of course, but if situation is critical he can... little bit.
I hope this music (or similar) is Sutekh's theme in the last episode of the season 😏😁
There's something about classic Who which still to this day makes it more terrifying than the modern series
Love this scene
1:14 nothing like those old classic-era special effects. Love them!
glad to see fezzes were cool back then too. if there's no fez in the Empire of Death, I don't want it
So the doctor has encountered Sutekh before.
Yep! Even in Big Finish as well!
@@sectorzisnumbuhone And the comics.
Finally. A villain that makes me can't wait for the next episode. Well done, RTD!
@@HB-fq9nn yes that too. :)
@@sectorzisnumbuhone And Faction Paradox audios.
Buddy steps away from the organ yet it keeps playing 😂
I guess The Devil's Chord isn't the only time the boundary between diegetic and non-diegetic music has been blurred.
Hence why music came before sutkekh @@caoimhinbenjamin9998
That's because it gets linked to the time tunnel/Sutekh. Afterwards Sutekh plays the organ on several occasions to indicate that he wants a quick chat with Scarman.
Is this why Colonel Ibrahim was called that in LORS? Since he is also called Ibrahim
The Scouse power team of the Tardis
This was my first Classic Who serial!
Omg, the music during the coming of Sutekh's servant sounds like the opening of The Goblin Song.
True👀
"I have an old hunting rifle that might come in useful"
to be fair, fighting ancient Egyptian gods with guns worked out surprisingly well for SG1 too
can't believe it's taken this long for this clip to get uploaded
It's been uploaded a couple of times; just not officially.
I wish I had been born in the year 1963 instead of in the year 1969, and also classic Dr Who running for 26 gold golden years was awesome in billions of ways .
I liked Sutekh he is an awesome, he is one of the best Dr Who villains ever devised and really he should have been brought back while classic Dr Who was still on tv before it went into limbo.
The colourful poster for season 1 😮😅 it was staring us in the face
The fourth doctor and Sarah Jane were the best.
The actor playing the villain Namin was to be played at one stage by an indian actor, called Renu Setna who has been in lots of tv and film and several other actors were considered for this role before Peter Maycock was cast he was english.
“Are you my mummy?”
What I think will happen in Empire of Death is Harriet will say that she is the servant of Sutekh and that he needs no other and then proceed to kill Susan. Or the other way around as Maestro got rid of their Harbinger once 'his song is concluded'
My favourite dr who episode
As a kid this scared the bejuses out of me
Sutekh hot boxed the room 😂
"I bring Sutekh's gift of skunk to all of you"
Maybe my favorite episodes. I miss the 4-6 episode story arcs.
Yeah, some stories worked as 6-parters, while others tend to drag a bit and probably would've been better off as 4-parters.
Watched this air when I was 5! Awesome BBC1 Saturday teatime viewing! Nothing on tv like itbin early 70s! (It got worse later, bit like a pantomime, the horror went and it got daft, hardly surprising it was cancelled in 80s)
This music makes toccata sound like a nursery rhyme, lol
15: Ah sh*t, here we go again... 😬
2024: Infinity War dusting
1975: dry ice, hide the tube
Worked for me as a kid!
SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THAT ORGAN WORKS - does it need an organist or not?
Yea these were the good old days :) Never seen that in color before lol. That said this guy reminds me a bit of my Boss, more understanding and accepting of course :)
I just rewatched the four episode arc on TUBI. Doctors 1-7 are available on the streamer.
This scared the sith out of me when I was a kid!
Well I have the time to watch this episode before the Sutekh finale of the modern series.
At least Ibrahim Namin ended up with a smokin’ hot bod… 😏
Better writing and better acting than any Who over the last few years.
Mr Bronson was such a chad before he got into teaching.
Which classic villains do you want back next? I think it’d be nice to see Fenric or the Great Vampires again.
Morbius.
He was probably only expecting a tie
The fella who gets killed,name? Ibrahim! Sound familiar? 🤔
Namin
Unit
Good episode.
great classic who (directed by Paddy Russell) 1975
Why hasn't Doctor Who brought back Sutekh before now? Would like to see the 4th back for this! Happened during his time-line. 🌟
Sutekh returned in several Big Finish audio dramas, but yeah, it's quite surprising such an iconic villain has until now remained a one off as far as the TV show is concerned
Tom Baker will forever be "my" Doctor.
Just be glad it’s not Xmas,this is one gift I Don’t want to have.
Fez's are cool.
Fezes are cool
We need Tom to show up in the new Sutekh serial.
Don’t you dare trim the story to under an hour when The Tales of The Tardis airs. First time watchers of this story deserves to see the whole thing not some edited 45 minute version
Tales of the Tardis episodes are 90-100 minutes
Doctor Who fans are so funny because they'll be like "I KNEW it was him!" and it's a guy from one arc that aired 49 years ago
Yeah, there were clues. Perhaps the most obvious clue was the Doctor taking Ruby to the future to show the consequences of Maestro winning in _The Devil's Chord._ Surprisingly, it's only the second time that's ever been done. The first time was in _Pyramids of Mars._ It's a memorable moment if you've seen it.
@@TheMoonRoverfor me, it was the Toymaker explaining why he's (to quote 14) "so small". NPH's answer immediately reminded me of Sutekh's "your evil is my good" monologue, and I never really shook the feeling that all of the hints were pointing to Sutekh.
Except for, of all things, "Sue Tech" funnily enough. That one felt so on-the-nose that I assumed RTD wouldn't actually make use of it.
Classic etory
The Beeb should show these 4 episodes this week before the finale.
It looks like it'll be a slightly cut down version, but there is a new Tales of the TARDIS episode for Pyramids of Mars airing on BBC4 on Thursday.
Plus, the whole thing's on iPlayer.
They're all on IPlayer at least
the dramatic use of Sutekh's name is unintentionally funny when one is a Polish speaker lol ("sutek" means a nipple in Polish)
Love how Classic Who managed to be unintentionally funny (like what you said there for instance lol) while New Who tries to be intentionally funny and often feels a bit flat.
RTD really does bring back the most random villains and instantly makes them fan favourites
Sutekh was already a fan favourite🤨 He was at the top of best one off villain lists all the time and Pyramids of Mars is one of the greatest Tom Baker stories.
It was already a fan favourite, that's why it's probs been brought back in the first place.
What the first two replies said. Absolute banger of a serial.
This scene even showed up in RTD's Queer as Folk as one of the tapes Vince loves to watch.
This is wildly innacurate...
I realize that this story was written in the 1970's and shows the biases of the time, but I still have to ask, did a worshipper of a God of destruction really believe that he would be spared?
Sure, post a clip that's already available on UA-cam.
Haven't watched since Matt Smith.
Peter capaldi's era is pretty good
Do watch that
Can’t imagine why you’d upload this now. Lol random.
Yes, a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one😄
I didn't know that Suteck was in doctor who
But from my knowledge of Egyptian Gods Suteck was the God of Destruction
Sutekh's Gift of Milk 😋 (DVD extra)
💙💙💙💙
At least Tom Baker wasn't making out with random dudes he met along the way lol. 😆
That’s literally just what David Tennant did with every third female guest star.
@@idle_speculation WELL THAT'S ALRIGHT THEN!
My all time fav Doctor & assistant in one of my fav episodes. I'd rather watch this than the last few seasons of modern Dr Who anyday.
Each to their own
Sutekh - man of nylons
Isn't Sutekh back anyhow
yes thats why they posted this
Somehow Palpatine... Sutekh returned 😂😂😂
Real doctor who.instead of that crap on bbc now
It's astounding that Russell can watch this and believe that what he's doing is superior.
Wait. A villain wearing a fez. But they are cool.
What does he do that's villainous?
@@milesharbord93391. He summons the servant of Sutekh, who brings the gift of death into the world. 2. He smokes indoors.
@@milesharbord9339 Moments earlier, he shot a guy.
@@milesharbord9339 Isn't he literally trying to summon and pledge his allegiance to Sutekh?
Slay ✌️
Yeah bro a rifle will probably save you from the God Of Death 😅
Not a god, an osiren that was misnamed a god over time. 🖖
@@milesharbord9339 My bad then, but still don't think a rifle would be much of a help 😅 I just cracked up at that bit 😆
Has the powers of a god so, facts
@@milesharbord9339the species could've actually been gods for all we know, the Osirans existed in the Dark Times and the Doctor traditionally treated all claims of mysticism as poorly represented science. Unless/until something "hard" canon expressly proves otherwise, it's hard for me not to think that the Doctor just made a bad assumption.
I didn't know who Sutekh was, so the reveal didn't land for me, but it at least proved a theory of mine.
What's your theory?
Who's your favourite Doctor?

David Tennant
@@PeterReynolds-ol9dz Same!! Although Ncuti is incredible!! ❤️
All of them ❤️
My uncle he a pediatrician
Matt Smith.
This story is on constant repeat on Tubi, Pluto, and the Roku channel. No excuse for not knowing about Sutekh if you’re a true fan.
Gravitas rip
A decent episode that had to be ruined by the “cultural appropriation” comment. The characters in Pyramid of Mars were literally Egyptian set in 1911 England. Another two characters were architects. The mummies were damn robots. Sutekh is an Osiran. The pyramids were set in Egypt. The owner of the house was away in Egypt.
Maybe RTD should never order and eat Chinese or Thai food because that’s cultural appropriation.
This is precisely why they better never reboot or resurrect Stargate because I’m sure that would be cultural appropriation as well. Give me an f’ing break!
FU RTD….don’t mess with Tom Baker stories. 😡🤬
@fgjsdfgjkl do you know how much work went into writing, saying, recording, mastering one line of a show? Just to gaslight and push an agenda. I still stand by my comment. I type fast, that paragraph took less than a minute and yes he didn’t piss me off until he messed with Tom Baker. May RTD be the next Rock Hudson.
@fgjsdfgjkl the joke is RTD and you supporting his agenda.
Mr. Bronson is a far more daunting adversary than Sutekh, IMO
Who's Mr. Bronson?
@@HB-fq9nn Over 40s will get the reference
@@lofi-guy or you could answer the question like a normal person
@@lofi-guy Darn, I'm only halfway there.
@@HB-fq9nnMr. Bronson was a strict headmaster from a children's series, Grange Hill, since we got a gatekeeping geezer in the comments
I'd much rather watch this series from 49 years ago than the rubbish that passes for Doctor Who now. What would you really want to watch, people dancing in sixties clothes or someone being killed by Sutekh?
