@@evilchairproductions482 not just if: I think Sutekh's introduction there looks A LOT like the beast's ranting, and that wierd noise sounds a lot like the tardis' panic sound from the Impossible Planet/Satan Pit.
Sutekh being played by the same voice actor as the '75 Serial, Pyramids of Mars, is amazing. Gabriel Woolf is 92. There's a special episode of Tales of the TARDIS on BBC Four on Thursday, at 8PM, featuring the 15th Doctor and Ruby, and is very likely going to be showing Pyramids of Mars. It might be worth reacting to that, to give you an insight into the finale and Sutekh.
It is amazing for a man of his age with such a distinctive voice hasn’t changed. Tom Baker is 90 and his voice hasn’t changed that much. Both the late greatly missed Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee had very distinctive voices. Wonderful diction. Gabriel Woolf has had a long and varied career in radio, film, stage and tv.
I’ve only been a fan of this show for the past 13 years, but I’ve been watching a lot of Classic Who, and every time they bring back an old companion or villain, I get especially hyped for fans like you who have been waiting years/decades for it. This show is truly a gift.
Gabriel Woolf played Sutekh in the Tom Baker story Pyramids Of Mars. He was masked and in a robe. Gabriel Woolf provided the voice of the Beast in The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit. He is 91 years old.
@@LaurenMcGinty12 Actors and singers who take care to look after their throat, can keep much of the quality of their voice. For example, remember how good Roy Orbison still sounded in the last recordings before he died? I don't even know how hard he worked to keep it. But Geddy Lee of the band Rush once described his regimen during tour, and it included a lot of room temperature water, no red wine, obviously no smoking of any kind, etc.
I think Mrs Flood is the Master. Remember when the Doctor told Ruby Time Lords can use regeneration to hide themselves away? When Mrs Flood arrived she said, "I feel like I've been hiding myself away." 🤔
I saw the worry in your face towards the end. This was the first Doctor Who episode that proper made me feel scared with chills after. Hats off to you RTD, a PHENOMENAL episode.
Yeah, they definitely used the Master’s reveal tune from the Simm era there. I heard it too and was immediately hoping it wasn’t the Master lol Very good musical callback though because it was a slightly similar plot device they used
They used Missy’s theme in Rogue and Simm’s other theme back in The Devil’s Chord. I knew the Master wouldn’t be appearing this season, but it was still a good misdirect.
Even though it was only that mention of The Trickster, I'm glad he was mentioned XD. I still want him to return at some point. Such a fantastic reveal XD. Can't wait!! 6 days is to long!!! Haha.
I remember reading Terrance Dicks' novelization of "The Pyramids of Mars", the book based on the story in which Sutekh originally appears. At the time the novel made a bigger impact than the televised story, in part because Terrance describes the face of Sutekh as a cackling jackal. This image in my mind, along with references to discordant organ music and the fact that the villain was an immobilized god gave the impression that once released he would revel and glory in death and destruction. I got the idea that it would behave like a mad dog, laughing and snarling as he destroyed life, but even with the much bigger production values of the 21st century, I didn't think the finale lived up to expectations.
I think the 4th Doctor did not defeat him, rather imprisoned him for 7000 years. Which means this could be a part 2 of the 4th Doctor episode. Either way I'm excited.
Harbinger mentions the Three Fold God.....Dalek Caan back in Journeys End called the Doctor the Three Fold Man....and because of Timeless Child, the Doctor has three names....Timless Child, The Doctor, The Valeyard.....is The Doctor a lost member of the Pantheon
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, for 43 years (since I first saw Pyramids of Mars as an eight year old) for Sutekh to finally return. He's not the One Who Waits. I am! :P
4:57 - I don't think the Doctor brings disaster, instead the Doctor reveals potential or ongoing disasters. The situation was going to go bad anyway, but the Doctor is there to offer a chance at getting out the other side alive. Imagine if Eccleston had not been there for 'Dalek', and the Dalek had decided to break out anyway.
I've been iffy on this doctor. But it's normal for me, every doctor I've gone through this. But this is the episode where I said to my wife. " Yes, this is the Doctor ".
Love that RTD is making things right with Mel. It wasn't her fault back then. She's an actor and did what she was directed to do. She didn't go into rehearsals and say - I've thought of a way of making Mel even more annoying. And I love old school returning characters. I hate it when we have the most terrible entity in the universe. Never mentioned before, and never mentioned again. Sutekh yes please
Wasn't this the scariest episode in a while?? Sutekh IS scary, and somehow he's back... Probably gained more power by the Doctor's actions in Wild Blue Yonder. Evil from beyond the universe...
@@danielfrench753 Possibly a reference to The Flood, most well known for the biblical version, but an apocalypse myth broader and likely older than that
@@danielfrench753 I think Mrs Flood is a timelord as the Doctor said timelords change either in death or when they want to hide away then later Mrs Flood says I'm always hiding away
waste of an episode, did NOT need to be a two parter, if you wanted a two parter, maybe spend time really getting to know susan twist for a whole episode but this is all just lame buildup. it's no sound of drums, it's not even army of ghosts, the TO BE CONTINUED is nowhere near justified 😒

😱 Honestly thought the Beast was about to make a return for a second!
I think the beast was played by the same voice actor, so they could be connected or an aspect of the same being
That explains it!
@@evilchairproductions482Sutekh being voiced by the same actor from his debut in The Pyramids of Mars is phenomenal 🔥
@@michaelvigo8492 Indeed. Gabriel Woolf has a great voice for Doctor Who villains.

His Sutekh voice haunted my childhood in a way Darth Vader's never did.
I suspect there was some post-production done on Gabriel Woolf's voice.
One of the absolute best Doctor Who surprise returns ever. 😱
I have waited more than 40 years for Sutekh to return, and I just about shat myself twice when he did. OMG!!!

@@Jim_The_Fish I can tell you, this felt like three Christmases in a row. ^_^
It's been so hard to find reactions from people who know who Sutehk is. Thank you!
It's frustrating when they don't freak out, right?

That is one hell of a voice at such an age!

I've been hoping for Sutekh to come back for ages. This was great!
Sutekh’s return has just made me re-watch Pyramids Of Mars.
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, for 43 years (since I first saw Pyramids of Mars as an eight year old) for Sutekh to finally return. He's not the One Who Waits. I am! :P
Be careful what you wish for.
@@ianstopher9111 True. I do hope they imprison him again or something that makes sense and isn't just random RTD magic.

The key was that Gabriel Wolff semi-whispered his lines, giving a sense of concealed power. Sutekh did not need to yell to enforce its power.
I believe Ruby is River Song's and the Doctor's daughter. River was wearing a cape and it was snowing during the episode The Husbands of River Song.
Interesting thought, can't wait to see! and who is Mrs Flood? She obviously has some connection to Sutekh, but what?
