Trivia
Robert Holmes added the scene where The Doctor shows Sarah how the events of 1911 can effect her future, because felt that this would help offset the general presumption by viewers that threats encountered in historical stories didn't matter, since modern-day Earth has been seen to endure in other Doctor Who serials.

Goofs
Immediately after he is shot by the poacher, a hole can be seen in Scarman's jacket. When he turns away from the window after ordering his minions to kill the poacher, the hole is gone.

Quotes
Doctor Who: They must be building a rocket.
Sarah Jane Smith: Egyptian mummies building rockets? That's crazy.
Doctor Who: They're not mummies. They're service robots.

The Wars of the Gods.

Could Part 2 possibly be as good as the awesome first part? Most definitely yes, the quality is incredible once again. The Doctor gives a terrific speech about Sutekh's power, and Osiris's intervention, to a lover of Egyptian mythology like me, it's a dream, The Doctor battling the Ancient Egyptian gods.

Sumptuous production values once again, it looks fantastic. Bernard Archard is fabulous as Markus, if ever a face was made to be a villain, it was his, he plays the part with true relish, but never goes overboard. The scene with the bullet looks so well done, very creative imagery.

It's chilling, we see poor Dr Warlock, and the poacher cruelly dispatched. We also get a bleak glimpse into 1980, a world where Sutekh has destroyed everything. It's classic. 10/10
