Third Cybermen story the best ever
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
In this adaptation of the script he co-authored, Gerry Davis takes a story long regarded as a classic in the life of the series. Not only is it, perhaps, the archetypal second Doctor story, but 'The Tomb of the Cybermen' is the first thing I remember watching on TV. Scared me enormously at the time!The TARDIS arrives on the planet Telos where the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria meet with an archaeological expedition. The archaeologists are on Telos to dig up the last remains of the Cybermen, and the Doctor refuses to leave because of them. Despite being called 'The Tomb of the Cybermen', the silver giants are not dead but merely frozen. Some members of the expedition are not interested in a scientific discoveries but in using the power of the Cybermen to conquer Earth.The adaptation is good, and better than many. Mr. Davis sticks to the original story and uses a larger word count than most novelisations to tell it. While it is still possible to see the original serial on video, you get the additional bonus of not having to see how poorly 1967 special effects have aged.
