Gabriel Woolf Plays Sutekh & The Beast In Doctor Who
Woolf lends his voice to Sutekh for a second time in “The Legend of Ruby Sunday”
Woolf in the first place played the nefarious Osiran diametric Tom Baker in 1975 . This time around , the role player is in his early XC and offer only his vocalisation to the classic resister in " The Legend of Ruby Sunday . " Between those two appearance , Woolf voiced another scoundrel : The Beast inDoctor Whoseason 2 , episodes 8 and 9 , " The Impossible Planet , " and , " The Satan Pit . "

Russell T Davies was the showrunner when the 2006 two - parter first aired , although the script were written by Matt Jones .

Carla Sunday References The Beast When Sutekh Appears In Doctor Who Season 14
Ruby’s adoptive mother somehow knows about Gabriel Woolf’s other character
apportion role player away , Sutetkh ’s return to the show add with it another link to Gabriel Woolf ’s 2006Doctor Whocharacter . Even before Sutekh ’s reliable physique is revealed , Carla Sunday takes one face at the swirling cloud of ominous smoke and openly declares,“I know its name . It ’s the Beast . “The only theatrical role Carla can really be cite in this scene is the Satan - like pattern from David Tennant ’s geological era , but what ’s compellingly unclear is how Ruby ’s adoptive mother cognize who the Beast is , let alone how she recognize him .
Interestingly , while it ’s only brief , a contour that wait redolent of the Beast can indeed be spot in the shape surrounding the TARDIS while it ’s in the Time Window .
Interestingly , while it ’s only brief , a shape that take care reminiscent of the Beast can indeed be spot in the shape surrounding the TARDIS while it ’s in the Time Window . " The Legend of Ruby Sunday " does n’t make it clear whether the Doctor hears Carla ’s declaration , but if he does , he does n’t react . to boot , the lost UNIT soldier also tells Ruby " I am in Hell"when ask where he is , which feels like another direct reference to Woolf ’s David Tennant - earned run average character .
The latest Doctor Who series introduces the Fifteenth Doctor, joined by new companion Ruby Sunday.
Could Sutekh & The Beast Be Connected?
Gabriel Woolf’s Doctor Who characters seem too conveniently similar
Given the grounds , it ’s possible that the Beast and Sutekh share a strong connection , and could even be the same character . In " The Satan Pit , " the 10th Doctor monologs about the Beast ’s unlawful imprisonment , which is a story at least mistily alike toSutekh ’s initial licking at the hands of Baker ’s Doctorin " Pyramids of Mars . " Perhaps most saliently , Ten even mentions the word " Pantheon " while speaking to the Beastin " The Satan Pit . " WhileDoctor Who ’s Pantheon of Godsmay be a fairly new concept , it seems as though its initial roots go back further than is ab initio obvious .
There ’s also the point to reckon that the Beast film control of several avatars in the 2006 story , acting and put across through them . This aligns with Sutekh ’s abilities in " The Legend of Ruby Sunday , " as he quietly manipulates Harriet Arbinger and Susan Triad . Both Sutekh and the Beast are also impossibly old , and while the former was in the beginning a phallus of a divine alien race , it appears as though he has been retconned to become what is essentially an actual deity - similar to the Beast .
Doctor Who ’s main character has been strongly imply to have children , but Russell T Davies is only just now clearing up why they ’ve been wanting .
However , there is still the faint possibility that Sutekh and the Beast are independent figures , although they could both still be affiliated . For exercise , Doctor Whohas already demonstrate that the Toymaker is the father ofJinkx Monsoon ’s Maestro . Sutekh also name other Pantheon penis in " The Legend of Ruby Sunday , " and the fact that certain other figure within the pecking order also have offspring . So , even if Sutekh is n’t the Beast in another form , there is likely still a strong connexion between the twoDoctor Whovillains .
