Customer Reviews
Early Cybermen (2003-10-06)  This tape is great if you like early Doctor Who and want to see the beginnings of the Cybermen on television as most of the surviving material available at the time of release is on this tape. The interviews on it are reasonable and relevant and Colin Baker does a good presenting job but if you really want to catch the atmosphere of those early days buy The Tomb of The Cybermen and leave this to us completists.
Cybermen: The Early years (2002-07-30)  'Are brains are just like yours except that we have had certain weaknesses removed' the impassive silver figure explained.'Weaknesses? What weaknesses?' asked one of the incredulous scientists.'You call them emotions do you not..?' And with that explanation the full force of terror is born into the hearts and minds of viewers watching with awe from the edge of the sofa. This was indeed a time of terror for the second most popular race to face off against the Doctor in all of his regenerations was made. The insidious, ruthless and unstoppable Cybermen were here.This is a unique gift to own a piece of history portraying them as they were always intended- to shock! As the sixties ended few Cyber-orientated stories really possessed the strength and the fear that they held during their glorious years of the sixties. For here in four surviving episodes from two Doctor Who serials that no longer exist combined with clips from 'The Tenth Planet', 'The Tomb of the Cybermen & 'The Invasion' it shows the impassive silver giants at their most menacing form. The Moonbase{episodes 2 and 4} & The Wheel In Space{episodes 3 and 6}.Despite being compared to todays standards of Science Fiction, this is a triumph to witness the golden days of the longest running science fiction show in history featuring the stalking silver monsters attempting to conquer or destroy Earth opposed by our favourite time lord- the Doctor. However not all is merely archive material but there are interviews with selected persons including the late Morris Barry {The Director on The Moonbase and The Tomb of the Cybermen}, Roy Skelton, noted voice artist for both Dalek and Cybermen voices and Wendy Padbury, who played the companion Zoe and made her debut in the Wheel In Space. So turn down the lights and switch on the TV and get ready to cower behind the sofa for unlike the Daleks, who stopped at the stairs, the Cybermen kept coming! 'You have fear. We will eliminate fear from your brain!'
Classic episodes from the golden era of Doctor Who... (2000-10-07) This tape, hosted by Colin Baker, is a great chance to see the remaining episodes from two as yet incomplete stories - 'The Moonbase' and 'The Wheel in Space', all featuring my favourite Doctor of them all, Patrick Troughton. Of the episodes included, I found 'The Moonbase' to be the better story, very atmospheric and some great performances from the cast. Also included on the tape are contemporary interviews of several cast and crew members of the series at that time, including Wendy Padbury and Morris Barry. The Cybermen were much more menacing in their early days, and this video proves it. Fantastic entertainment.
