Description:
Considering the
popularity of Pyramids of Mars among fans, it's no wonder that the
DVD is packed with extras. First and foremost is a serial-long
commentary by actress Elisabeth Sladen, guest star Michael Sheard,
and producer Phillip Hinchcliffe; director Paddy Russell also weighs
in, though her contributions were recorded separately from the
others. Two featurettes are also included--one on the story itself,
with interviews with members of the cast and crew, and the other
focusing on Hinchcliffe's three-year tenure as producer. A short
"then and now" doc focuses on the serial's exteriors (Mick Jagger's
former estate Stargrove), and a brief comic "interview" with Sutekh
should bemuse fans. The extras are rounded out with a smattering of
deleted scenes, a gallery of production photos, and the
always-welcome information track (which provides a running text
commentary of production information) American fans will also be
pleased to see the intros and outros recorded by actor Howard Da
Silva for Stateside broadcasts in the '70s among the supplements.

Editorial Review:
The
popularity of this Tom Baker-era Doctor Who serial among fans led
directly to its release on DVD (it ranked first in a Doctor Who
magazine poll about stories to be released on disc), and once again,
the WB/BBC DVD doesn't disappoint with a sparkling presentation and
a wealth of supplemental features. The third serial in the
thirteenth season (1975-1976) finds the Doctor and Sarah Jane
(Elisabeth Sladen) on Earth in 1911, where an Egyptologist has come
under the power of Sutekh, a powerful alien bent on unleashing
worldwide destruction. The much-discussed "Gothic" sensibilities
that producer Phillip Hinchcliffe and writer Robert Holmes brought
to the series during this season are largely in effect here--mummies
and sinister henchmen mix freely with robots and alien invaders--as
are the quality of writing and acting that helped Doctor Who spike
some of its highest ratings to date during this season. One of the
series' strongest and most entertaining stories, Pyramids of Mars is
undoubtedly a must-have for Baker and Who fans. --Paul Gaita
