I know the massacre is not the most highly regarded hartnell story, but I would kill to see this scene found

The tempo is too fast. This song needs to feel like a comfortable stroll. Here it sounds rushed.

The female co-host is gorgeous!

Watching 85-year old Peter Purves and his poor two team-mates doing a DISASTROUS Escape Room, and they just triggered a *surprise* Karaoke *bonus-round* …. Oh…… The *HUMANITY* - the *only* Musical *known* to Mankind that can actually cause *Barrowman* to *CRINGE* ….!!! [..he still remembers ALL The Words - ]

Never heard anyone say SOB the way it's actually spelled

It's rather funny how the Doctor found time, after having been sent an urgent message from the Brigadier while on the Nerva Becon has found time to make a quick detour (Sarah and Harry most likely remained inside the TARDIS for some unknown reason...) to the 1970s (or maybe the 1980s) in order to visit a cinema to watch some cartoons (one of them being entitled 'Clock Cleaners' which is somewhat apt) and a few film previews until UNIT (maybe with a little help from Torchwood?) to find out what he was doing and to hurry up and get to 1970s (or maybe the 1980s, in any case it wouldn't be any time before 1979) Scotland.😂 That said as it turned out the emergency was ultimately all over oil, which we really needed (and still do) to stop being overly dependent on...😢 Happy Times and Places🎉

I don't know why youtube decided to show me this now - 14 years later - but I'm very glad it did. That was an absolutely lovely wee snippet.

Pov, u came from the Crewvians discord

And this is why Tom Baker is an absolute legend ❤

Hello New Who fans, welcome to the Classic Series. The sets might be wobbly at times but the scripts gave us the foundation for everything, so sit back and enjoy.

They never go beyond arm’s length; wow!

"Great Heavens! This is fun! I think I'll appear on a dozen other episodes as random background characters over the next 5 years."

Sarah was a highly intelligent person but this scene made her out to be a bit thick. It should have been obvious to her that the reason her 1980 existed was because Sutekh was stopped in 1911 and the only person remotely capable of doing so in that time period was the Doctor.

Now that's how you do Dr Who. Tom Baker was ace.

Sutek was a DEVO fan? It could have been worse he might have viewed Hansen as the height of Earths cultural achievement

The Doctor looks absolutely delighted to have a guest in the TARDIS who is totally impressed by it, and that's lovely to see! :D

Its 2024 under labour

The irony is they could not see how important as an historical record of BBC broadcasting these episodes would become. The saddest thing of all is the BBC no longer produces any quality programmes, all it has is an agenda which it is forcing on the population and to which most are turning off ……. It provides no public service just a constant ego trip ……

And nearly half a Century later Sutekh would try again in 2024's Legend of Ruby Sunday/Empire of Death

It looks like from the preview of Empire of Death that this alternative time actually happens only 44 years later after 1980 in 2024. The Doctor only delayed the inevitable.

In light of "The Legend of Ruby Sunday", the mirroring of this scene in "The Devil's Chord" was very deliberate.

Blimey! It’s Bronson!

Pyramid of Mars is one of my favorite Tom Baker era episodes.

Like this comment if you're here after the big Sutekh reveal in LORS, and now realizing that RTD dropped the BIGGEST callback during "The Devil's Chord".

In truth, the 80s were far more desolate than even the Doctor envisioned. Well, for those of us who lived through it.

We all know why we're here

Here after The Legend of Ruby Sunday... that reveal at the end...

That wasn't Sutek, it was Thatcher.

I'm Polish and every time I hear name "Sutekh" I have a smile on my face because it sounds exactly like our word for a "nipple" 😄

For a truly horrifying view of the future, they should have stopped and taken a look at what currently passes in 2024 for this once great TV show.

As hated as this episode is, I actually like Dodo's piano skills.

Oh this is so Bridgerton

When they played this song in Rogue, I immediately thought of this!!!

Love Dr Who. Peter Davidson (IMHO) was an awesome Dr due to the huge energy he brought to the role. He and his son-in-law, David Tennant, are my favorites with Sylvester McCoy in second place. I started watch the series way back when during John Pertwee’s reign as The Doctor.

Interestingly, this is part of Pertwee's acting method. He said that if you ever do what you feel is a bad take, make sure you swear at the end and they'll have no choice but to reshoot it.

So good, RTD borrowed it for his " Devil's Chord" story.

Thanks for the Upload of Classic DW episode.

Classic

Here to remind myself of the original after seeing the same scenario being done in The Devils Chord. Deja Vu all over again.

And then in the sound of drums he watched Teletubbies

They basically paid homage to this scene in the Maestro episode in season 14 just now. It reminded me of this scene

See if you were from a time before the '80's, it would not be natural to say 1980 like, for instance, answering the question, what's your date of birth, so seeing as the story is made before the '80's and not actually ever stated in any other stories before (The whole U.N.I.T. dating thing being a 'headache' just because of Peter Grimwade writing Mawdryn Undead for The Fifth Doc), even if you try to work out the timeline of events going back to Abominable Snowman and Web of Fear, The Invasion and Spearhead from Space, saying you're from 1980, does sort of sound like 'a line', rather than stating a fact, and doesn't roll off the tongue as easily as say, for example the way Ian said to the First Doc, 'If we go out that door, we won't be in a junkyard, in London, in the year 1963' and The Doc says he has a tone of ridicule, but it is because he and the story and his character are in 1963, it doesn't sound dissimilar to something he would say.

Falsettos? Tony Awards? I know only 1 Tony and his name is not Falsetto but Soprano

Chip Zien's Marvin is freaking brilliant. If you can find clips of the original production please do, because just seeing his performance is worth it. He has this manic energy that's unmatched. It truly feels like Mendel was written with him in mind.

I used to have this on VHS and later DVD. My family and I watched it a lot. Great story! It was nice to see the missing episodes in animated form as well!

He OWNS that box. It's just HIS.

Chip Zien was perfection as Mendel. his "you can do it" with the arm movement cracks me up

The posh woman was in one of the On The Buses films ( Jenkins' wife I believe)

I love how the community's humor mostly hasn't changed

If Victoria had gotten married sometime after she decided to stop travelling with the Doctor and Jamie in the TARDIS after all those monsters she had seen, would she tell her husband where she comes from or not and even her children?
