Behind the Scenes | The Legend of Ruby Sunday | Doctor Who 

Gabriel Woolf playing Sutekh on TV again after 49 years!

Still cannot BELIEVE that some people called the Sutekh reveal. Incredible episode absolutely amazing!

“We’re not bringing back any old villains” said RTD. But Russell lies like a rug and I kind of love it.

2:38 Tennis balls. The unsung heroes of VFX

Can we appreciate Kate looking like a fine glass of wine in this episode

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!

Skull Susan looks like she's ready to do the "Time Warp" again.

And Sutekh voiced by Gabriel Woolf, the original actor, - now 91 yrs old!!!!!!!

Russell T Davies just brought back another forgotten villain and turned him into something scarier than the Toymaker or the Master.

CCTV footage was 66.6 meters away. Number of the Beast. 72 yards away.

honestly, the vfx artist of Sutekh did amazing job, bravo

seeing how much of this isnt 100% CGI makes me think how long it'll take before they make an actual TARDIS to increase realism?

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.

how is no one talking about the MASSIVE work that went into the time window?????

Susan scratching the crewmembers ear was adorable lol

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!

The commitment to make as much as possible pratical effects really warms my heart!

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!

I had the most biggest and nerdiest grin when Sutekh was revealed! :D

I haven't seen that many Classic Who stories, but I HAVE seen Pyramids Of Mars and The Reveal was incredible, I'm so happy this show is good again

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.

Loved the final reveal of Sutekh, but Lenny/Morris absolutely stole every scene he was in. What a champ.❤

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.

Wow the time window effects is crazy! Props to the crew! Loving these production snippets and learning how much practical effort exists in the show.

I really wish Martha Jones would be a "guest," as well as Ace, or even Grace (8th Dr).

That image of sutekh grabbing the TARDIS will stay with me forever. Such a amazing visual. Well done everyone 🔥💥

The VFX on the time window looks REALLY GOOD! Kudos to the VFX and the Production team

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.

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. 😔

A working chameleon circuit and they could have just left the tennisball be a tennisball

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 love that this episode put me at the edge of my seat and I was like what the whole time and also that oh that theory was right my goodness

Saluting a tennis ball took me out. 😂

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!

What a cliffhanger. And yes, the internet was very quickly onto that reveal, but it's still exiting to see it happen on the screen.

This was a great episode and it was great to watch it on my birthday!

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!!!!

This episode instantly became one of my favourites. What an episode.👏👏👌

The thing that surprised me the most was that Susan Twist is actually called Susan Twist.

The best episode of this series by a HUGE margin. Epic.

Really fascinating stuff, was anyone else reminded of the Sycroax prosthetics from the Christmas invasion with 10?

Love the practical effects

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.

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 wanna say Susan Twist was phenomenal in this!

One hell of an episode.

A brilliant episode all in all, the type that sticks in till your head until next week.

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.

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!!!

The floor of the Time Window reminds me so much of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

I hope the Vlinkx gets the ability to move around and have a little freedom ❤

One of the best episodes

i would kill to get that ruby road scan model

HOW DID YOU DO THIS TO ME BRINGING BACK SUETEKH FROM 50 YEARS AGO 😂😂😂😂😂

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 🔥

Are you seriously telling me, the actress who played Susan in THAT twist, was the actress Susan Twist 😂

I know nothing about doctor who before The Doctor and Rose but I am intrigued to learn more about these old villains and monsters!

omg! I love Bonnie and Mel so much!

2:14 ~ 🥎

Most hype ep ever

Get Morris Gibbons a spin-off now! Lenny Rush was absoluetly wonderful in this episode

I really hope the Vlinx is one of those things that's just never explained

Just looking at the Vlinx overloads my claustrophobia!

I didn’t know him I wish I was shocked as everybody else

Bouhaha the tennis ball. Brilliant. It is amazing how they use practical effects. So much better than 100% CGI.

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!

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!

These feel more like Confidential than Unleashed.

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

Loved the episode, perfect timing to have Sutekh back. Never saw this coming, was in shock afterwards but so happy!

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.

The time window was AWESOME big time, I thought it was the definitive high light of the episode maybe the series

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!

gibbons is my favorite he is precious to me. what a lad

I really loved the VFX segment of the BTS. I'd love to see more of that in the future.

Oh my God! Millie so sweet!

Sutekh’s reveal reminded me a lot of Gozer’s resurrection in Ghostbusters: Afterlife in the best way. Loved it.

Has anyone else noticed how quickly the Tardis appears to arrive at its destinations now.

4:06 - is it Susan Twist under the hood?

Honestly, the second half of the episode was so good that I'd forgotten whatever is going on with Flood.

MARVELOUS, EVERYTHING

but isn't sutekh not just a "powerful alien" whereas Toymaker and Maestro are transdimensional beings?

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 😍

The Time Windows is the same as the Star Trek Holodeck room right?

Very good indeed 🎉🎉❤❤

This was the best episode of the new series by far hopefully episode 8 tops this one

Is the spin hard landing (ouch! You know she's alive, right?) going to be the default for the TARDIS now versus the materialisation?

Amazing episode Loved it!

Love, love, love this episode!

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

don't get me wrong I loved the ep but what happened to Shirley the scientific advisor??? why was she replaced?? I'm still upset about that lol

Easily one of my favorite episodes this season. Jemma Redgrave is a goddess.

Al Kang is a genius

I can’t wait for the finale!!!

Great Episode but I almost laughed out loud when the CGI cloud transformed into the big rat muppet.🤣🤣🤣

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!

The episode title was Legend of Ruby Sunday but it didn't revealed neither her mother or doctor's granddaughter Susan!

Fingers crossed that the next big bad is Omega

Loving this new season. Loving the cast. The stories are pretty fun, though they better figure out how to rescue Rogue. (Don't make me buy a plane ticket and fly over there just to bite the writers.) 😆 Loving the show otherwise .❤
