Review of The Tomb of the Cybermen by greenLetterT

21 February 2025

First and foremost, I enjoyed having moving images again! I liked watching real people act!

Onwards:

The Tomb of the Cyberman is often considered a classic serial and I do somewhat see why: the scene of the Cybermen leaving their tomb is incredibly effective and I really enjoy the Doctors' characterisation. The final cliffhanger about the fate of the Cybermen is good, but the ending of "off they pop back into their tombs" felt a bit weak. The character of Toberman (I say character, more like caricature) can't be ignored though, and the racist stereotypes that went into pretty much every part of his design (strongman, doesn't speak English, violent) make for unpleasant watching
