    Don't waste your money. They say what they say many seconds before you actually hear it. It's like a pirate copy.
  • Best classic story ever

    It's a bit wobbly in places but still great fun and certainly worth a look. Great chemistry between Sarah Jane and The Doctor and a really malevolent villain. Look out for the sneaky hand, trying not to be seen as Sutekh finally stands up in the final episode. Tom Baker is on great form even if the rest of the supporting cast are a bit dry. Enjoyable, certainly but not quite a classic for me.

    This is my favorite story of the whole Tom Baker era and that is no small miracle considering His tenure was 7 years long.It is also in My opinion and many others one of the greatest stories of all time.An absolute must for all Doctor Who fans...

    This has to be one of the best Tom Baker stories. A great plot and superb cliff hangers. One of the first Doctor Who stories I ever bought on video. It was rated as the best Tom Baker episode for Doctor Who @ 40 Weekend and is also believed to be Tom's favourite.

    This is undoubtedly one of Tom Bakers best story's. Both Tom Baker and Liz Sladen out do themselves with superb acting skills, and the supporting cast are excellent. The Doctor and Sarah Jane are returning to UNIT HQ, but they have turned up a few years too early - well about 70 years! What is the secret of the Priory? Trapped and unable to escape, can the Doctor outwit the Egyptian God - Sutekh and save not only Earth, but the whole universe from his evil? This is a brilliant story on many levels. The first actually answers a question that I'm sure all of us have asked at one time and another: Why doesn't the Doctor just get in his TARDIS and leave when the going gets tough? In this story, the situation is so dire that (uncharacteristically) Sarah Jane asks him to do just that. At first the Doctor refuses saying that if he doesn't stop Sutekh the world will end. Sarah replies by saying, "but we know the world didn't end in 1911!". The Doctor relents and takes her forward in time to 1980. The Earth is a lifeless wasteland and in Sarah Jane's words: "We have to go back." I particularly love the puzzle the Doctor has to solve in order to set Sarah Jane free - and even today I still have trouble getting my head around it :) The mummies are creepy, and virually indistructable. This is a must see story. Well worth the price!

    This is a fantastic story with superb acting made by Tom Baker and Elizabeth Sladen. I would highly recommend this episode for people keen on being or are Egyptologists. Watch out for Sutekh's gift of death, it is horrible! Overall you will really enjoy this treasure of a story.

    They could remake this today, without changing a thing and it would still be this good. Gabriel Woolfe gives an acting masterclass- voice only. Tom Baker outshines anyone before or since. And Sarah Jane proves that she must have a picture of Dorian Gray somewhere; because she's no older today than she was then. Excellent.
  • Classic!

    A classic example of the more melodramatic stories of Who, and of course the 4th doctors at his best, fresh and exciting. Interesting ideas within the episode aswell, undoubtely influencing later sci-fi's like Stargate, Egypt's connection with aliens seems more of a normal idea these days. See if you can spot Admiral Ozzel from Star Wars, the one that Darth Vader chokes at the beginning of the Empire Strikes Back, the actor that played him is in this. This is brilliant though and well worth a look, also a good example of the telly of the time.
