The Tenth Planet - Episode 1

It's the final Hartnell story. And the first Cyberman story. Historic, isn't it? Shame that Episode 4 doesn't exist in the archives anymore. Thankfully, we do have a restoration on this video. We'll get to that later. This episode's outdoor South Pole scenes were really quite effective, I thought. The Cybermen's first appearance is very creepy. This is very much a typical Troughton story. A multi-national base under siege from sinister elements. The Doctor is the base's only hope. Yep, we'll see this again in the near future. Good start to the story.
