A solid episode, for all intents and purposes. I didn't find it overly interesting, and was much too bothered by the Egyptian mythology inconsistencies to properly enjoy it.
Small side tangent, but the subtitles kept saying people were speaking Egyptian, which is not a real language - it should be Egyptian Arabic.
The acting in this episode is better than usual. The best part for me, however, is Sarah Jane's dress. It's very clearly emulating an Edwardian lingerie dress, and while the exact silhouette is a few years out of fashion and missing a lot of lace detail, it probably looked very close on televisions of the time.
I liked the parallels between the Scarman brothers and the Egyptian gods (even if the familiar relationship between said gods was that of father and son, not brothers). Their meeting was a heartfelt, well-acted scene.
