Patrick Troughton faces the dreaded Cybermen in the digitally remastered soundtrack of a classic BBC TV story, with linking narration by Frazer Nines

 

‘You will be like us… ‘

On the planet Telos, the Doctor and bis friends encounter a party of archaeologists intent on uncovering the mythical ‘ Tomb of the Cybermen ‘. Only the Doctor seems aware of the folly of this venture, but suddenly it’s too late - the ice tombs are open, and the Cybermen are coming back to life…

Trapped underground with the Cyber Controller and his acolytes, including the vermin-like Cybermats, the Doctor and company learn that they are to be turned into a new generation of Cybermen. To make matters worse, there is treachery and double-crossing amongst the humans.

Can the Cyber menace be made dormant before it spreads out to the galaxy once again — and will the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria escape with their lives?

Frazer Hines , who played Jamie in these four BBC TV episodes from 1967, provides linking narration for the story. In a bonus interview, he also recalls the making of The Tomb of the Cybermen .
