It's a shame that this was the only Fourth Doctor Cybermen story because you'd think the whole conversion aspect would be perfect for the Hinchcliffe gothic horror era in particular.

Unfortunately what we got was really far away from that, and all the criticisms of the Cybermen in the classic series from the 70s onwards like the gold weakness and the increased emotion come from this story. The Vogans are a bit rubbish too. I like the beginning of the story with the plague concept and the location shooting in the caves, but as a big fan of the Cybermen this was never going to be one of my favourites
