The Doctor talking about the Cybermats having a complete mental breakdown, Jamie going oooo, and the Doctor apologizing to Jamie is hilarious. Like sorry Jamie I know this has happened to you and Ben and Polly a few times now.

Doctor Who: Cybermat

Favourite Episode: The Tomb of the Cybermen

Home Planet: Mondas

Scary Factor: 0/10

My Personal Rating: 8/10 They're so goofy looking, I love them, the earlier they're shown in the series the more I love them.

(Please don't take these too seriously, it's just a bit of fun)

Season 5

The Tomb of the Cybermen

Now joined by Victoria, the Doctor and Jamie join an archaeological expedition into the Cybermen's stasis chambers on Telos. The expedition's financiers actually want the Silver Giants' power to increase their influence back home, but Cybermen don't share...

Oh, Tomb of the Cybermen, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways... This was the second Patrick Troughton story I saw in full (no need for iPlayer here, I went for my own DVD collection), and it's terrific. The Cybermen are huge again - a facet of them I felt was missing from The Moonbase - we get our first appearances of Cybermats and a Cyber Controller, further looks into the lore of the Cybermen and a beautiful look into the Doctor's own cryptic history as he shares a tender moment with Victoria on the subject of family, and the best use of the Cybermen's theme music so far as they emerge from their tombs. It's a fairly short one at 4 episodes but rattles along at a hell of a pace.

Is it perfect? No, of course not. Some acting is particularly hammy, especially Captain Hopper (a proto-Jack Harkness wannabe space hero) and our villains Kaftan and Klieg who speak in sinister European accents of indeterminate origin, the character of Toberman could be seen as racially insensitive now as another dumb muscleman of colour - though not nearly as bad as Kemel's portrayal - and the Cybermen's tomb looks to be made of cardboard and clingfilm.

But you know what? I can let it all go. It's great stuff all round. One of my favourite Classic Who stories. Please, PLEASE, do not miss out on this one.

The Abominable Snowmen is missing from the iPlayer in animated form for now, and I don't feel like going shopping. So next time: The Ice Warriors!
