The Tomb of the Cybermen

Missing, presumed dead! Returned to BBC Video after over 20 years.

Aided by his two assistants Jamie and Victoria, the Doctor lands the TARDIS on Telos, last resting place of the infamous Cybermen. There he discovers a band of archaeologists on a secret expedition to unearth the reason for his old enemies’ extinction.

In the underground shadowy depths, they find the icy tomb. A whole army in hibernation. A threat to no one, if the temperature remains low. But if the traitor in their midst gets his way, things could really hot up…

Originally broadcast in 1967 and then lost, this unique four part adventure starring Patrick Troughton — the Doctor’s 2nd incarnation — was only recently rediscovered. It is now available for the first time on this special BBC Video which includes an exclusive interview with director Morris Barry.

The Claws of Axos

“Axonite will soon spread across the planet… The Nutrition Cycle will begin…”

A mysterious UFO lands on Earth. The Axons have arrived, desperate for help and eager to offer in return an exciting gift — axonite, potentially the most powerful substance man has ever seen. With its powers of duplication, the possibilities for mankind are endless. The Ministry of Defence is delighted but the Doctor has his suspicions. Are the Axons as genuine as as [sic] they seem? Just what is the Doctor’s arch enemy, the Master, doing aboard this ship?

Originally transmitted 13 March - 3 April 1971, this four part adventure, starring Jon Pertwee as the Doctor, is as exciting as ever on video.

The Twin Dilemma (Woolworths Exclusive)

“Something’s wrong. Something’s very wrong. Oh, no. Has it come to that? Regenerate, yet unregenerate… I am a living peril to the Universe.”

Is the Doctor really losing his mind? After his fifth regeneration his behaviour certainly seems to point that way. Having tried to strangle Peri, he’s landed the Tardis on the asteroid Titan 3 determined to pursue the quiet life of a hermit. But the giant dome on the horizon seems set to shatter his peace. Just who are its mysterious inhabitants? What is their connection to the kidnapping of the twins Romulus and Remus, famed for their mathematical genius? And where are the giant Gastropods?

Originally transmitted 22-30 March 1984, this four part adventure heralds the beginning of the Colin Baker era of Doctor Who.
