Episode 10 from season 13 this Doctor Who adventure was originally aired here in the UK during November 1975, directed by Paddy Russell this is a top story from the popular series. The script written under the pseudonym Stephen Harris by Lewis Griefer & Robert Holmes is moving along nicely & after a horror themed Part 1 this expands on the sci-fi side of things a lot more with with revelations about Sutekh's origins & why he is on Earth. I must say the poacher who is killed in this episode felt like padding as he never interacts with any of the main cast & doesn't actually do anything, other than get killed that is. Overall I'm liking Pyramids of Mars so far & it's good fun which provides plenty of entertainment value if you appreciate a good sci-fi show when you see one.
The main location used in Pyramids of Mars was a place called Stargrove Manor in Hampshire that at the time was owned by Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones! It's a nice enough looking location & gives the story a authentic period look. The costumes & the early 20th century decor are impressive & the production values on this seem to be pretty good.
Pyramids of Mars: Part 2 is a good episode from a great story, it's as simple as that really. This is a must for Tom Baker fans such as myself.
