The Doctor Who Thread

[Susan Foreman]

In Egyptian myth and legend, Anubis was the son of Set (aka Sutekh)

Maybe the Doctor (who is a pacifist) should have just thrown him a stick instead of mercilessly destroying him !

**NOTE - I still have not seen 'Empire Of Death', so it's possible I don't know what I am talking about, and this is how the God of Death *was* defeated... but I doubt it !

This is very possible.

The Doctor took Sutekh for a walk to get rid of him and via Davies' frankly terrible writing that was the end of him. 'Death destroys death' and everyone lives...- Dear God!!!!

The first part of the finale was excellent, the second was worse than any other Russell finale. He simply can't write good conclusions.

The Daleks ambush the Thals during episode four of The Mutants* (1963)

The original umbrella title given to this 7-episode story by the production team in 1963 was 'The Mutants'

It only became know as 'The Daleks' as late as 1972 in order to avoid it being confused with the Jon Pertwee story of the same name

Is only they could think of something similar to do with all this 'series 1'...'series 2'...'series 3' nonsense, then people would find it easier to differentiate between 'An Unearthly Child' - 'The Reign Of Terror' / 'Rose' - 'The Parting Of The Ways' / 'The Church On Ruby Road - 'Empire Of Death' OR 'Planet Of Giants' - 'The Time Meddler' / 'The Christmas Invasion' - 'Doomsday' OR ''Galaxy 4' - 'The War Machines' / 'The Runaway Bride' - 'Last Of The Time Lords' etc
