About this listen

 Here's another entry in our range of unabridged readings of classic Doctor Who novelisations, first published by Target Books in the 1970s and 1980s.

For many thousands of years, the Suthekh had waited....trapped in the heart of an Egyptian pyramid. Now at last the time had come - the moment of release, when all the force of his pent-up evil and malice would be unleashed upon the world.

The TARDIS lands on the site of UNIT headquarters in the year 1911, and the Doctor and Sarah emerge to fight a terrifying and deadly battle...against Egyptian mummies, half possessed humans - and the overwhelming evil power of Sutekh!

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

Classic Tom 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.

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.

This audiobook is simply put brilliant. It was so great to hear Tom Baker reading my favourite story of doctor who. It’s not too long and his reading keeps your attention. Recommended for anyone who loves the original series of doctor who or someone who wants to see why the original series were so good.

Fantastic reading of a classic serial

The mellifluous tones of Tom Baker bring to life a classic Target novelization. An excellent story for the car.

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!

I always try to get the best value from my credits and this is a little shorter than I usually think is worth it. I know some of the Dr who books on audible are split up into chapters which is completely unreasonable as you’d have to spend 4 or 5 credits for the full book. Thankfully this isn’t one of those and is a complete story so worth it for me as I am a fan of Tom Baker’s narration when it comes to Dr Who stories. The story is good and worth the credit in my opinion, If still on the somewhat short side for the equivalent of £7ish
