Review of Doctor Who: The Tomb of the Cybermen (1967) by John T — 04 Feb 2014

Doctor Who is portrayed by Patrick Troughton, the second in a long line of actors who portrayed the Doctor. Aided by his two assistants Jamie and Victoria, the Doctor lands the TARDIS on Telos, the last resting place of the infamous Cybermen who he encountered and defeated twice before.

There, they discover a band of archaelogists on a secret expedition to unearth the reason for his old enemies' extinction. In the underground icy tomb they find an army of Cybermen in hibernation.

While they pose a threat to no one while the temperature remains low, a traitor among them plans to awaken the Cybermen and become their leader. The dialogue and production values, as with all early Doctor Who episodes, are unsophisticated resulting in this reviewer's low rating.
