Summary: THE DOCTOR, CYBERMEN...CLASSIC WHO ON DVD!
Review: Thanks to a discovery in Hong Kong in 1992, "The Tomb of the Cybermen" is now the earliest "Doctor Who" of the Patrick Troughton era to remain completely intact. And it is a great adventure. The scenes with the Cybermen are quite frightening, but Troughton's humour keeps it from becoming too scary. With a great supporting cast and some fairly decent visual effects, "The Tomb of the Cybeermen" is a treasure that belongs in anyone's collection of "Who" episodes. The extras on this disc are little, but totally worthwhile!

Summary: Best of Patrick Troughton
Review: A gem of the Patrick Troughton era this long-lost tale has all the elements of a superior Doctor Who serial. The story, of a space expedition looking for the lost Tomb of the Cybermen and finding more than they bargained for, keeps the viewer entertained from the very beginning to the end.

The DVD is a much clearer version of the video as the restoration feature clearly demonstrates. The extras, such as the Tombwatch documentary (Basically a Q&A with actors and production staff at a Who convention) and the commentary by Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling, are worthwhile. Overall, if you are a fan of Doctor Who as I am and are thinking of chucking your video copy for the dvd, this is one Whovian who says go for it!
