 I can't access the specific transcripts for "Doctor Who: Pyramids of Mars" 
 from the provided site. However, I can still provide a general summary 
 and review based on the known plot and details of the serial. 
  
 "Pyramids of Mars" Overview 
  
 "Pyramids of Mars" is a four-part serial from the thirteenth season 
 of "Doctor Who," first aired in 1975. It features the Fourth Doctor, 
 played by Tom Baker, alongside his companion Sarah Jane Smith. 
  
 Part 1 
  
 Summary: The Doctor and Sarah Jane return to Earth and land in 1911, 
 at an old priory. They discover that an archaeological dig has unleashed 
 Sutekh, an ancient and powerful alien from the planet Phaester Osiris. 
 Sutekh, also known as the Destroyer, is using the body of Marcus Scarman 
 to further his plans to destroy Earth. 
  
 Review: The first episode effectively sets a mysterious and eerie tone, 
 with an atmospheric setting and the introduction of Sutekh as a formidable 
 antagonist. The blending of science fiction with Egyptian mythology adds 
 depth to the story. 
  
 Rating: 9/10 
  
 Part 2 
  
 Summary: The Doctor and Sarah Jane explore the priory and encounter 
 Sutekh's robot mummies, who are aiding Scarman in constructing a missile. 
 The Doctor learns more about Sutekh's plan to destroy the power source 
 of his prison on Mars, which would enable him to escape and wreak havoc 
 on the universe. 
  
 Review: The tension escalates as the Doctor and Sarah Jane 
 face the immediate threat of the robot mummies. The historical 
 setting intertwined with the sci-fi elements creates a compelling 
 and suspenseful narrative. 
  
 Rating: 9/10 
  
 Part 3 
  
 Summary: The Doctor confronts Sutekh through a time-space 
 bridge but is overpowered by his mental abilities. Sutekh 
 reveals his plan to destroy all life in the universe. The Doctor 
 and Sarah Jane race against time to stop the missile from reaching Mars. 
  
 Review: This episode delves deeper into Sutekh's motivations and powers, 
 showcasing him as a truly terrifying villain. The Doctor's vulnerability 
 adds to the stakes, making the conflict more intense and gripping. 
  
 Rating: 9/10 
  
 Part 4 
  
 Summary: The Doctor manages to alter the course of the missile, 
 but Sutekh forces Scarman to construct a secondary control. 
 The Doctor tricks Sutekh into thinking he has succeeded, 
 allowing him to destroy the control and ensure Sutekh 
 remains imprisoned. The priory burns down, setting the stage 
 for its future as UNIT headquarters. 
  
 Review: The climax is thrilling and well-executed, with clever strategies 
 employed by the Doctor to outwit Sutekh. The resolution ties up the plot 
 neatly, leaving a lasting impact with the destruction of the priory. 
  
 Rating: 9/10 
  
 Overall Series Rating: 9/10 
  
 "Pyramids of Mars" is a standout "Doctor Who" serial 
 that combines historical intrigue, science fiction, and horror. 
 The strong performances, especially by Tom Baker and the supporting 
 cast, along with a well-crafted villain in Sutekh, make it a memorable 
 and engaging story. The atmospheric settings and intelligent plot 
 contribute to its status as a classic adventure for the Fourth Doctor.
