Doctor Who - Pyramids of Mars Review
The Pyramids of Mars aired 40 years ago from October 25 to November 15. See what we thought about this classic Doctor Who Adventure from 1975.
Doctor Who:
Pyramids of Mars
By Stephen Harris
“The forces that are being summoned into corporeal existence in that house are more powerful and more dangerous than anything even I have ever encountered.”
The Doctor and Sarah are attempting to return to Earth and UNIT headquarters when they land at the exact spot but in 1911 way before UNIT occupy the house its HQ is in. Something throws the TARDIS off course which contributes to arriving at the wrong time. They discover an Egyptian is living in the house that belongs to Marcus Scarman. It appears that the sarcophagus in the house is the unit that made the TARDIS veer off course.
It appears the sarcophagus is a time tunnel connecting Scarmans house with Suteks tomb in Egypt. Sutek is using Scarman to build a space missile that would destroy the pyramids on Mars and thus releasing him from his prison. This would allow Sutek to take over the world and destroy it and destroy everything in the universe. It’s up to The Doctor and Sarah to prevent this from happening and to stop Sutek from getting free at all costs.

Doctor Who – The Zygon Invasion Review (Some Spoilers)
By Ken Parker
The Zygons are back and right away all
bets are off on who is who. Osgood is there but which Osgood, the
human or the Zygon duplicate? What are the Zygons up to and is it
already too late to do anything about it?
I was not looking forward to this
episode because I have not been a fan of the UNIT stories stemming
back into last season. I also can't see the whole 20 million Zygons
being allowed to live on the Earth as being a viable option but alas,
it is fact so let's move on.
Doctor Who - The Zygon Invasion Review (Spoilers)
Doctor Who:
The Zygon Invasion
By Peter Harness
“We want the world.”
If you haven’t guessed by now The Zygon’s are back and I am really happy for their return. Since the 1975 Tom Baker story Terror of the Zygons I have always wanted to see The Zygons return and after they appeared in The Day of the Doctor I had a feeling we would see them again as they would want to use those expensive costumes again. What I didn’t expect and what has turned out to be a pretty good idea is that The Zygon Invasion is a loosely based sequel to the 50th Anniversary story as it builds upon the peace treaty between The Zygons and the humans.
