Notes
- The Beast here is voiced by Gabriel Woolf, who previously voiced Suhtekh in 1975’s “Pyramids of Mars” as well as the episodes “The Legend of Ruby Sunday” & “Empire of Death” from 2024.
- One question I couldn’t fit in the tweets: How does the Tardis get all the way to the bottom of the pit where the beast is if the beast was behind a closed/locked door? We didn’t see the Tardis sitting on the doorway when it opened, so it shouldn’t be down there when it’s found.

They really played up the Satan part of this, despite it not actually being the proper Christian Satan. There was a fun 3rd Doc reference (Draconians). The first foreshadowing of pic.twitter.com/hev2zNgee9

Rose's fate is here. This ep is 60% slow/talking, an odd feel after pt1. The Beast stuff is good sfx, although the ending is a tad confusing. Part 1 was definitely better than Part2. pic.twitter.com/DgnSW1rIRx
