It is very simple on the one hand and would later be overshadowed by the much more popular Monsters in Metropolis but The Patchwork Pierrot is still a great body horror story showcasing the more gruesome aspect of the Cybermen DanDunn View profile Like Liked 0 26 April 2025 · 48 words Review by hallieday Spoilers This review contains spoilers! The Ninth Doctor #5 'The Patchwork Pierrot' (2017) from Tales of Terror. Quite a nice tone piece for The Doctor, fitting in nicely with the darker, gloomy vibe of a lot of his stories so far. The circus setting is used effectively, and I enjoyed the use of the Cyberman. hallieday View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
