Gabriel Woolf said he was “over the moon” to be asked to return. <\/p>
The Legend of Ruby Sunday answered some age-old questions fans have had since season 14 of Doctor Who kicked off, and while the Doctor has already fought off many villains, the One Who Waits has returned for an ultimate battle.<\/p>\n
Following the reveal, it was confirmed that the upcoming episode of Tales of the TARDIS<\/a> will feature Ncuti Gatwa\u2019s Doctor and Millie Gibson\u2019s Ruby Sunday in a remastered Pyramids of Mars<\/a>.<\/p>\n The original four-parter saw Tom Baker<\/a>\u2018s Fourth Doctor and Elisabeth Sladen\u2019s Sarah Jane Smith<\/a> having to battle the Sutekh<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a new Q&A, Gabriel Woolf said it felt \u201cinevitable\u201d to be reviving Sutekh after 50 years. \u201cI\u2019d never lost Sutekh because of the fans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve kept him alive, organised conventions all over the place, so it feels kind of natural.\u201d<\/p>\n Reflecting on being asked to return to the iconic villain role, Woolf said: \u201cI was over the moon, delighted and thrilled. It was wonderful.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fans have always said, \u2018Oh, you must come back!\u2019 and I always said back, \u2018It\u2019s not up to me!\u2019 \u2013 and now it\u2019s happened. Extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans will, of course, meet a new and improved Sutekh as he takes on the Doctor and Ruby, and Woolf has teased \u201csome development of the character\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we do have the same classic lines here and there, so he is recognisable, and he is destroying the same universe,\u201d he teased.<\/p> Tales of the TARDIS: Pyramids of Mars airs on Thursday 20th June at 8pm on BBC Four and BBC iPlayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n Doctor Who continues on Saturday 22nd June on BBC iPlayer and BBC One. <\/strong>Previous seasons are available to stream on BBC iPlayer<\/a> with episodes of the classic series also available on BritBox \u2013 you can sign up for a 7-day free trial here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our Sci-Fi<\/a> coverage or visit our TV Guide<\/a> and Streaming Guide<\/a>to see what\u2019s on tonight. <\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to <\/strong>The Radio Times Podcast<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n Gabriel Woolf said he was “over the moon” to be asked to return. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":53488,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-star-credits-fans-for-inevitable-sutekh-revival-theyve-kept-him-alive.png",1406,937,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-star-credits-fans-for-inevitable-sutekh-revival-theyve-kept-him-alive-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-star-credits-fans-for-inevitable-sutekh-revival-theyve-kept-him-alive-300x200.png",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-star-credits-fans-for-inevitable-sutekh-revival-theyve-kept-him-alive-768x512.png",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-star-credits-fans-for-inevitable-sutekh-revival-theyve-kept-him-alive-1024x682.png",800,533,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-star-credits-fans-for-inevitable-sutekh-revival-theyve-kept-him-alive.png",1406,937,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/doctor-who-star-credits-fans-for-inevitable-sutekh-revival-theyve-kept-him-alive.png",1406,937,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Gabriel Woolf said he was \"over the moon\" to be asked to return.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/53487"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
