The real plot twist was that the 'season 1' branding was never about Doctor Who moving to Disney+, but that it was really foreshadowing the reveal that the whole thing was season 1 of the 'Seek Sutekh' revival
You didn't at all. I'm sure you didn't even laugh....probably just smiled. Why do people have to make out that a mildly amusing line had them convulsed and almost hospitalised with hysterical laughter.... 🙄 It is utterly pathetic and no one with any intelligence believes for a moment that you screamed with laughter at that line to the extent you describe..... unless they are slightly simple.
@@rnw2739 really? That's super pedantic, especially aimed at a comment so old that when I made it, I was under the false impression that I was a cishet male.
@@VaderTheWhite Perhaps, but then so is you doing likewise. The last sentence baffles me as it contains a word I've never heard and isn't in the dictionary. Did you make it up or simply have a mini-spasm at the keyboard?
Sil achieved pretty much the same effect sitting on a fluid tank surrounded by butch bodyguards in fetish gear slurping Marsh Minows. Psionics walk, money talks.
I remember watching this at the 40th Anniversary Celebration in London and falling about laughing… for months I would repeat “I bring Sutekh’s gift of milk” and my girlfriend (now wife) would stare at me like I’d gone mad
@jackmonaghan8477 that would be a bizarre milk run. Some random person suddenly gets the urge to go to your house and hand over all his milk to you because one of his ancestors was one of the Wolves of Fenric
It always amused me that when the Doctor said he was from Gallifrey, Sutekh said "Names mean nothing". Then 20 seconds later said "So, you are a Time Lord".
The Time Lords literally murdered the Cthullu Mythos gods and Rassilon blew up a galaxy to fight off the Autons. They scare the shit out of everyone even those who on paper should bat them away like flies.
@@DarthAzabrush I've never heard of those events, but what is true is that once upon a time, they were a lot more powerful and active in the affairs of the Universe. By the Doctor's time, they'd settled down and become bureaucrats.
@@MaskedMan66 Yes but to get to that point of stagnation a society has to develop enough savagery to scare the crap out of any potential rivals and preserve their isolation. The fate of the Warlord and his people is testament to that. The other races of the Galaxy are still aware there was a mighty interstellar empire of sadistic super scientists out there it just vanished into a Time Lock one day. That is terrifying to any would be threat.
@@DarthAzabrush Sutekh (like the Fendhal) is part of a group of entities even Time Lords fear. It is clear Sutekh sees the Doctor at least as an equal.
I would love that but seeing how bare the blurays for the recent seasons are in extra content I’m not holding out much hope Edit: I mean recent blu rays for the new series, not the classic season boxsets
I can remember Matt West saying way back on the now defunct Restoration Team forums that he wasn't too happy with Eye on Blatchford on the City of Death DVD, he had also apparently scripted a Lou and Andy as Davros and Nyder sketch for the Genesis of the Daleks DVD starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams but that idea got nixed for reasons unknown.
borgduck There was a fan video called "The Few Doctors" in which the Director General of the BBC, a man who speaks in a strangely clipped manner and whose left arm is never seen as he sits behind a table, doles out orders with his assistant-- played by Peter Miles-- backing him up. Basically, DW is re-tooled as a Benny Hill-esque comedy, and the Director exults, "When the fans see that video, it should keep 'Doctor Who' off their screens for another several years!" We see at this pont that he is seated in a self-powered wheelchair. His assistant, whom we may now be sure is Nyder, asks him, "Can I have a go in that thing?" "No!" says the Director, scuttling away. Nyder looks glum and says, "Spoilsport!"
That is about the best Doctor Who content I’ve seen in five years. Well written and not a hint of the freakshow the Doctor Who has become today . Well done to the crew the produced this program.
Sutekh - A really old school vilain. They wanted to feature him in a 2nd season episode of Stargate SG1, but the idea pissed off Apophis & Hathor as well as a few other System Lords. :)
Wait, so he's one of the most powerful beings in the doctor who multiverse, able to make Timelords his bitches, and their tech, child's play for him to destroy. And he just trots around on Earth like he's trying to find a job.
How did I never see this masterpiece before! Hilarious stuff! "We burned something called 'Fury from the Deep'" Pyramids of Moo's! ;) The Pyramid of 'Mars' (spill some water in it and you have "Waters of Mars") "His name is Neil...Neil.......KNEEEEEEL before the might of Sutekh!" Even the secret (not-so-well) hidden hand Easter Egg made an appearance! xD This really made my day! I would be happy to watch another Sutekh's gift of laughs.
Like the hand at the end --an acknowledgement that somebody screwed up during the filming of the scene when Sutekh, freed from paralysis, rises from his chair. Strangely you can somebody's hand resting on the seat which slowly moves away.
Is it? I’ve seen him in other shows. Including an episode of ITC’s The Sentimental Agent. Where he played an agent, who was delightfully feigning being both belligerent and being drunk.
gotta say i havent watched this in years, but it plays rent free in my head. hearing the news (i havent seen yet, happened to see an article about it) that hes returning with Gabriel Woolf voicing him again And called my sister, then promptly went to watch this again I remember being a grade school kid reciting this at school Namely, Neal, Plaything of Sutekh XD
This was absolutely one of the 4th Doctor's best.... But he had so many good ones. I think the obvious best is "Genesis of the Daleks", but this is easily 2nd, maybe 3rd or 4th, depending on how you feel about "City of Death" and "Horror of Fang Rock". (There are some other good ones.... I just list the ones that my family (I grew up on these shows) consider among the best.) And this is a piece of English humor that is just grand. I love English humor. So deadpan, yet so funny.
Sutekh would later channelled his media experience into British politics, and brought his "gift of death" to the Boris Johnson administration. He was awarded a knighthood, for it and still wasn't the worst person on Johnson's honours list..
Truett Edgell I'm surprised Sutekh hasn't been back on the new series, aside from the Daleks, Sutekh was actually the best single Doctor Who villain ever created in my humble opinion as a fan, I grew up with both the Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker era, I don't think the new series has been as good although I like this latest Doctor played by Peter Capaldi because although Doctor Who is supposed to be able to regenerate, I think he still needs to look a bit older and more time worn like Tom and Jon did, that's how Doctor Who should look rather than the school boy look of his predecessors which never really worked, thanks.
John Cashin He sorta-kinda has been back; Gabriel Woolf played the voice of the Thing in the so-called "Satan Pit," which might imply that at least one avatar of the evil known as Sutekh was present.
MaskedMan66 True, he played the thing implied to be the devil (ignoring the fact that Sutekh is the Devil in the Doctor Who universe), but it wasn't Sutekh. It didn't have the presence and personality that Sutekh had and was second rate.
Truett Edgell I did say, "sorta-kinda." And the Doctor was under the impression that Sutekh was the figure who "inspired" the Devil, but he may not have even met the real thing yet. He would have in the 1970's if Tom Baker and Ian Marter had had their way; the wrote a script for what was to have been a feature film called "Doctor Who meets Scratchman." Vincent Price would have been the adversary in that one!
I think they did in Series 2, either that or there was another omnipotent being who claimed to be Satan, was imprisoned long before time and sounded exactly like Gabriel Woolf.
Has anyone ever seen this and slowed it down to see all the 'moving images', I would like to, but I ain't got my computer anymore so I can watch the DVD in my Blu-ray player, but it takes a while to freeze frame.
From memory: 1. Shots of Matt and Rob 2. Shots of cats (Noggin and Bodmin) 3. Shots of Auton fanzine covers. Steve Roberts panicked that there might be something dodgy in there the BBFC would.obiect to.
'You've missed a bit' brilliant. This must be from the special features of the dvd. I feel Suteck is the most dangerous of the lot whether davros or dalec or cybermmen or crynoid or the master. He did have a lovely voice. Abase your self you grovelling insect. Kneel before the might & cease your childish strategms.
The Osirians were definitely one of the more powerful aliens around. Above the Daleks, the Time Lords, the Chrnovores and even the Eternals. Also, this comment is 9 years old holy shit.
