Kneel Before The Twisted Humour Of Robert Hammond
Theo Robertson7 October 2004
There's something so very poetic about this Pyramids Of Mars DVD extra . Sutekh , despite only appearing one DOCTOR WHO story is one of the all time great villains from the show while actor/writer Robert Hammond is one of the most remarkable characters from DOCTOR WHO fandom

I do have a problem in discussing this sketch since it's only seven (7) minutes long and follows on from Sutekh's time as a destroyer of worlds and I'd only give away the best bits thereby spoiling the fun of watching . To give you a favour of OH MUMMY! go and look up my review of TV OFFAL where I mention " Rob " who is the same Rob Hammond who wrote this funny sketch . Rob also used to edit a fanzine called Auton which really tore into DOCTOR WHO with a incisive and often cruel sense of humour . If you think someone phoning up 10 Downing Street asking how the Prime Minister can negoiate surrendering to Davros when there's no wheelchair access is funny then you'll find OH MUMMY right up your street

DOCTOR WHO fandom's a more miserable place without the twisted mind of Robert Hammond

A work of warped genius
crackerbunny-16 June 2004
Like many people I have a great affection for many Doctor Who stories. My brother and I watched them avidly. Pyramids of Mars was a little before our time (honest) but nevertheless thanks to the invention of the video recorder we got hold of a copy. It became quite a favourite. Mr West and Mr Hammonds homage to Pyramids is blinding. They capture the essence of that era of Doctor Who without taking the (ahem) micky. Considering this was a labour of love, all created on their own time, using props they had made themselves, this feature is without doubt the best I've seen on a Doctor Who DVD. If you haven't seen it yet..why not?

Please enjoy Sutekh's gift of miwk.

I thank you
