Doctor Who

Warning : MAJOR raider ahead forDoctor Whoseason 14 , installment 7 , " The Legend of Ruby Sunday . "

Summary

Doctor Whoseason 14 initially finger like something of a unused starting signal for the long - running British sci - fi show , but the next-to-last instalment of Ncuti Gatwa ’s first run of episodes confirms that the larger discharge has always been right away related to a Tom Baker tale from 1975.Doctor Whois no stranger to bringing back scoundrel from X run by , with the Disney era right away let in the counter of the Toymaker for theending of theDoctor Who60th - day of remembrance specials . However , the true identity element season 14 ’s big uncollectible hail in the cast of an established franchise character is still a shock .

Tom Baker embodied the Fourth Doctor from 1974 to 1981 . So , out ofevery actor to act the Doctor , Baker act the role the longest . During his tenure , he battled various villains , but one of theharsh realities ofDoctor Who ’s classic erais that many of these forged guys were report - flimsy and ultimately quite forgettable . That being say , one of them clearly made a lasting impact on Russell T Davies , causing the returning showrunner to wreak back a baddie who had antecedently only appeared in a single story .

Dr. Who has been a reparation on TV screen for 60 class , mean there are plenty of stories to choose from when picking out the Time Lord ’s best .

The Fourth Doctor defeated Sutekh in a 1975 Doctor Who story

" Pyramids of Mars " is a four - part serial publication from Tom Baker ’s reign as the Fourth Doctor . Sutekh is the story ’s main antagonist , intend thereveal of Sutekh as The One Who Waitsin " The Legend of Ruby Sunday " ultimately makes the entirety ofDoctor Whoseason 14 into a sequel to the classical story .

The One Who Waits was first mention byNeil Patrick Harris ' Toymakerin " The Giggle , " with the god of games confirming even he was too afraid to challenge the most potent being inDoctor Who ’s Pantheon of Gods . He ’s also mentioned byJinkx Monsoon ’s MaestroinDoctor Whoseason 14 , episode 2 , " The Devil ’s Chord , " but the verification of the enigmatic figure really being Sutekh does n’t add up until the concluding bit of the time of year ’s penultimate instalment .

So, The Fourth Doctor Is To Blame For Doctor Who Season 14

Sutekh was trapped using a part of the TARDIS

Baker ’s Doctor just about negociate to cease Sutekh from escape his prisonin " Pyramids of Egypt of Mars , " making sure the scoundrel would never escape from his temporal bindings . regrettably , Four remove a cabinet from the TARDIS and used that to trap Sutekh . Therefore , it ’s very reasonable to put on that this was the bad guy ’s method acting of entry into the Doctor ’s blue box , where he has been lurking ever since , wait for the right moment to walk out .

The Meep first mentioned " The Boss " during David Tennant ’s first installment back for the doc Who 60th - anniversary specials , and Rogue has done it too .

This Sutekh retcon by Russell T Davies retroactively alters most of the Doctor ’s timeline , as the god of death was seemingly never all that far aside during the Time Lord ’s adventures through time and space from Baker and onward . It does n’t impinge on the Doctor ’s overall arc , but it could alter the viewing audience ' perception when rewatching any instalment between " Pyramids of Mars and " The Legend of Ruby Sunday . " While it ’s a bluff plus to theDoctor Whocanon , it ’s also a thoroughly compelling one .
