Pyramids, Lies, and Audiotape (Visiting "The Pyramid at the End of the World" and "The Lie of the Land")

Another pyramid? Another fascist Earth? How could the same podcast happen to the same guys twice? Turns out it's not Osiran mummies or jackbooted thugs from someplace "sideways in time" — it's the Monks, and their plot to rule Earth naturally involves applying some corpse makeup just after they've parked their pyramid-shaped spaceship in a Central Asian country so remote it defies geography. But you could see how Chris and Pete could make that mistake, seeing as the Capaldi two-parter, The Pyramid at the End of the World and The Lie of the Land, revisits some well-trodden territory (and the presence of Walkmans had us wondering if it was an '80s episode). But is this reinvention or repetition? And does the answer even mean anything when history is malleable?
