Doctor Who: EVERY Steven Moffat Episode Ranked Worst To Best

29. The Pyramid At The End Of The World

Doctor Who 10 07 The Pyramid At The End Of The World
BBC

Co-written with Peter Harness, The Pyramid at the End of the World is an episode I didn't appreciate back in 2017, but on reflection clicked with me a lot more.

The significance of the pyramid's location and the poignant discussions held between the various representatives are deeply fascinating and thought-provoking, but to me as a younger viewer, it was a rather dialogue-heavy and confusing plot to understand.

This is a very strong episode though, and demonstrates that signature style of Steven Moffat's writing where seemingly unrelated threads are slowly pulled together to reveal an elaborate plot with plenty of twists and scares.

Ellie has been part of the WhatCulture team since 2021 where she began as a freelance presenter for the WhoCulture channel. As a diehard Whovian with a BA (hons) degree in Drama and Acting, this role was the perfect opportunity for her to combine her screen presence training with her extensive Doctor Who knowledge. From there, she branched out to various other WhatCulture channels, including TrekCulture, and became a full time Content Producer/Video Presenter in 2023. Ellie is now a regular fixture on both WhoCulture and TrekCulture and has become a well respected public figure within both fandoms, building up a substantial following across her social media platforms and being given the opportunity to represent the channels and the wider communities at several industry events. Her favourite Doctor Who character is River Song and her favourite Star Trek character is Captain Janeway - which tells you everything you need to know about how she approaches her role within a generally male dominated field.
