About this listen

 The mind of Sutekh the Destroyer is consumed with jealousy and hatred. Convinced that all living things are his mortal enemy, he is determined to annihilate all forms of life throughout the universe. Imprisoned at the heart of an Egyptian pyramid, the force of his maniacal evil has been paralysed for centuries. But now, after thousands upon thousands of years of long captivity, the moment of deliverance has arrived. Sutekh's vicious megalomania is about to be unleashed upon the world - unless the Doctor succeeds in outwitting a mind so powerful it can force him to his knees and torture him at a glance... Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor in the BBC TV series, reads Terrance Dicks' complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1976. 'BBC Audiobooks has chosen well with its books and has taken the right approach with its readers... they benefit from new music and sound effects' - Doctor Who Magazine.©1976 Terrance Dicks; (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Fantasy Science Fiction Fiction Scary Middle East

Forever my favourite Doctor Who story 10/10 top

Not those kinds of mummy issues … from the title you might guess at the Doctor’s bandage-clad foes in this classic, zany adventure - which imagines that the gods worshipped by ancient Egyptians were in reality powerful aliens. One of those deities was imprisoned by an adversary - and is now threatening to break free, endangering the universe. It’s bonkers - but brilliant. Tom Baker reads it beautifully - and the sound effects are spot-on. This is a wonderful slice of nostalgia. It was screened back in 1975 and the novelisation was published the following year. If you like this or are keen for more, try The Brain of Morbius, another horror-themed Who, also read by Baker.

As a 40 something this is my favourite Dr Who story by far. Starring and read by the great Tom Baker the Doctor encounters the enemy who in my opinion is the greatest foe he has ever faced. A 'god' capable of destroying worlds - just by thought, could the Daleks do that ?? A being capable of destroying the cosmos... The doctor wins ( of course) but its close. A well written story incorporating a plausable ( as far as these things go ) situation. Those with a scientific background will particularly enjoy this book.

What made the experience of listening to Doctor Who and the Pyramids of Mars the most enjoyable?

What more could you ask for? The legendary Tom Baker narrating the novelisation of his most popular story. Tom's unique voice puts you right in the story and you can picture yourself watching it all over again. Terrance Dicks is at his usual best to recreate the story both faithfully and vividly.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I must admit that I loved the 'alternative time' scene showing what would happen if the Doctor and Sarah decided to up and leave before they stopped Sutekh

Any additional comments?

This is definitely one of the best stories and to have it read to you by the best Doctor (for me anyway) certainly makes it a fantastic experience. Thoroughly recommended!

His best narrated by the best!

As a 1970 Tom Baker fan this is a great story.
Made even better read by the man himself.
