BTS Of "The Impossible Planet // The Satan Pit"

[pagerunner-j]

Decided on a whim to rewatch The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit, since those episodes seem rather more relevant after all those dire intonations about Sutekh this past week, not to mention a certain recurring voice actor, and...

...yeah, I forgot that this is how it starts.

editing to add:

I just pulled up the commentary track for The Impossible Planet, and lo and behold, here's David Tennant pointing out that the Beast here is voiced by Gabriel Woolf, who voiced Sutekh in Pyramids of Mars, and--I quote--"So there's a sort of link there. And if you want to believe it's the same character, then that's...you're free to do that."

I will indeed be taking that as carte blanche for the time being, thank you.

Guess we'll see how things play out next week. :)

(And another comment re: that particular bit of casting: "I suspect if you're listening to this DVD commentary, then you already knew that." Yeah, well, funny thing about that, David...)

Okay, so Carla calling Sutekh the Beast before he'd even fully manifested - and Colonel Chidozie saying he was in hell - already had me thinking about The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit, but I just looked up the voice actor for Sutekh. Sutekh is voiced by Gabriel Woolf, who played Sutekh in the 70s as well.

Another role Gabriel Woolf has had in the Whoniverse was in 2006, as the Beast in The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit. I'm not saying they're the same being, but… what if they were the same being?

Doctor Who - The Impossible Planet

[hexa-trance]

Watching The Legend of Ruby Sunday with my mum was such a cool experience. I was losing my mind because I thought it was going to be The Beast from The Satan Pit (2006), then mum was losing her mind because it was revealed to be Sutekh from Pyramids of Mars (1975). We were both right! It was the monster from both our childhoods. Even voiced all 3 times by Gabriel Woolf. Multi-generational Doctor Who shooketh moment!

As the worlds number 1 impossible planet/satan pit enjoyer, I got very excited when The Beast got name dropped by rubys mum and Harriet started chanting like Toby only to have my hopes dashed by the final reveal >:’(

Like don’t get me wrong, yayyyyyy Sutekh! But RTD you bastard man, you gave me hope! I want to the see doctor who fist fight the devil ON LIVE TELEVISION!

"that's what I like about you, the domestic approach" immediately followed in the next episode by "i'd have to settle down. get a house or something" / "i'd have to get one, too. we could share"..... you just. you really get a sense that ten is changing his mind. that rose is different than anyone else. the way he adamantly denies when rose says she's going to die in battle. as if it isn't a Rose Tyler Classic to continuously charge in head first into danger to do the right thing, even and especially against her own well being. as if Believing In Her really will be enough to save her every time.........
