BBC America Announces 4th Doctor Revisited Story

BBC America Announces 4th Doctor Revisited Story

March 27, 2013 By Mike Hickerson 3 Comments

pyramidsofmars2To celebrate the fourth Doctor’s era of Doctor Who, BBC America has chosen the four-part serial “The Pyramids of Mars.”

Starring Tom Baker as the Doctor and Elizabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, this story comes from what many consider one of the most consistent eras in Doctor Who history.  Producer by Phillip Hinchcliffe and script edited by legendary Who writer Robert Holmes, the four part story features mummies and an ancient Egyptian god bent on escaping and unleashing his vengeance upon the universe.

In short, it’s about as close to perfect as a classic Who serial can get.

Fans can set their DVRs for Sunday, April 28th at 8 p.m.

Before the serial begins, we’ll get a look back at the seven year of the fourth Doctor with interviews with Tom Baker, Louise Jameson (who played Leela) and current producer Steven Moffat.

    I would like to know who are the brain dead idiots at BBC America who are picking the serials to play for the Doctors Revisited. They must be picking episodes at random, because they sure aren’t picking the best ones. Spearhead From Space? Really? Terror Of The Autons should have been the choice – or any other serial with Roger Delgado in it. And now Pyramids of Mars? Come on! While not a bad one, the obvious pick should have been Genesis of the Daleks, which even today is considered the best Dalek serial. These people making these decisions have probably never even watched Doctor Who. I’m afraid of what they’re gonna pick for the upcoming Doctors.

      While I enjoy Genesis of the Daleks, I disagree with you that it’s the ideal Tom Baker story for this series.

      Pyramids of Mars is a solid way to introduce fans to the Tom Baker era and classic Who as a whole. Also, it’s a four part story and it fits better into the running time for the program.

      At least it wasn’t the vastly overrated City of Death. That would have been a bad choice.

        I do think Genesis is by far the best story in the Tom Baker era (perhaps the best Doctor Who story ever tbh), however I do agree that it isn’t the ideal Tom Baker story as the doctor is far too serious in the story for it to be really considered as a definitive Tom Baker one
