Pyramids of Mars (disambiguation)for other, similarly-named pages.
Pyramids of Mars was the seventh episode in the Tales of the TARDIS series, released on BBC iPlayer on 20 June 2024 by the BBC, written by Russell T Davies and directed by Jamie Donoughue.
This story consists of two newly recorded scenes bookending the omnibus version of the TV story Pyramids of Mars.
Distinct from the initial series of six, this episode, which aired in between the two-part finale of season 1, had the Fifteenth Doctor tell Ruby Sunday of the classic story's events, which the return of Sutekh in The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Loading...["The Legend of Ruby Sunday (TV story)"] had made pertinent.
Synopsis
In 1911, an ancient threat rises in the tombs of Egypt and brings terror to an English country house. Sutekh has risen, and the world must beware.

Worldbuilding
- The Fifteenth Doctor recalls that Marcus Scarman was an Englishman who was looting the tombs of the Pharaohs, disturbing the dead.
- The Doctor notes that Sutekh was the size of a man when the Fourth Doctor confronted him, but has now evolved into a Titan.
Notes
- This story is implied to take place during the events of Empire of Death, since the Doctor did not know of Sutekh's return until the climax of The Legend of Ruby Sunday at a time when he was separated from Ruby.
- This story's broadcast was immediately followed by a rerun of the documentary Talking Doctor Who. Both were opened by the full Whoniverse ident, which had been condensed for season 1 and Doctor Who: Unleashed.
- The story omits some lines of dialogue from the original version of Pyramids of Mars, such as the reference to Victoria Waterfield. It also features updated special effects and digitally removes the hand of a crew member from the scene where Sutekh stands up.
- The short story All Our Christmases features the history of Doctor Who being changed by fans with time travel. The first change was removing this blooper.
Continuity
- The Fifteenth Doctor fondly reminisces about Sarah Jane Smith. He had, following his bi-generation in TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"], acknowledged her death whilst speaking with the Fourteenth Doctor.
- The Doctor recounts the events of TV: Pyramids of Mars [+]Loading...["Pyramids of Mars (TV story)"].
