The Tomb of the Cybermen - Episode 1

Ah, a complete story at last. And we're on DVD, too. Cleaned up very nicely by the Restoration Team, but this is the only Sixties story on DVD that is not VidFIREd. Oh, well. Thank goodness they got Victoria out of her old-fashioned outfit and into some shorter skirts. Very lovely. The opening of this episode is especially good, the first scene in the TARDIS seems to be specially filmed, like a motion picture, with real closeups and such, not just standard TV stuff. The exteriors on the planet Telos are well done, too. Klieg and Kaftan aren't very nice, that's kinda obvious. Captain Hopper has a terrible accent, as well as a not-so-good actor playing him, too. The Doctor and Jamie are really working well together. I love Jamie's "Oh, aye, that" response to technobabble. He's really starting to shine.
