Day 411: Pyramids of Mars Part 2


There's an age old question for Doctor Who stories. Stories that are set in the past can't turn out badly because we know that the future is alright, therefore everything will be swell. But time can be rewritten, as is discovered in the clip above. When Sarah Jane requests to be returned to 1980, she finds that it has become a desolate wasteland. Suddenly, we get a chilling realisation both of the villain's power and of the importance of fighting against evil in all time periods. This is one of the most important scenes in Doctor Who as it reveals that what the Doctor and co. do is not worthless, and that they really do help make history go on the correct course, preventing vast temporal disasters throughout their travels in the TARDIS.
