StarringTom Baker (Fourth Doctor) Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith) Ian Marter (Harry Sullivan) Ronald Leigh-Hunt - Commander Stevenson Jeremy Wilkin - Kellman William Marlowe - Lester Alec Wallis - Warner Michael Wisher - Magrik Kevin Stoney - Tyrum David Collings - Vorus Brian Grellis - Sheprah Christopher Robbie - Cyber Leader Melville Jones - Cyberman Written byGerry Davis Produced byPhilip Hincliffe Directed byMichael E. Briant SynopsisThe Doctor and his companions are lost in time. Expecting to be reunited with the TARDIS following a secret mission for the Time Lords, they instead find themselves on a plague-stricken space station orbiting the remnants of Voga, Planet of Gold. The Doctor, Harry and Sarah have stumbled into the last battle of an ancient conflict between humankind and one of its most terrifying foes - the Cybermen. BackgroundIn Revenge of the Cybermen the eponymous villains return - after a long absence - in a rather diminished form. No longer an invincible superhuman army, they are, as the Doctor puts it, ''a pathetic bunch of tin soldiers skulking about the galaxy in an ancient spaceship.'' Lacking the slick 'gothic horror' styling of other early Tom Baker stories, Revenge of the Cybermen itself seems somewhat out of time, in many ways more like a product of the mid-1960s than the mid-70s. There is still plenty to enjoy, though. The atmospheric location of Wookey Hole, Tom Baker's sense of humour, Elisabeth Sladen's sparkling performance and Ian Marter's public school heroics all make for a fun caper to end the Fourth Doctor's first series. Furthermore, Revenge of the Cybermen will always have a special place in the hearts of Doctor Who fans. When the BBC began to release older stories in videotape in 1983, this one was the first to be chosen. When the programme was taken off-air in 1989, regular BBC Video releases helped keep its memory alive. Thanks in part to Revenge of the Cybermen, Doctor Who survived to fight another day ... | ||
