Revenge of the Cybermen: The time ring takes the Doctor, Sarah and Harry back to Nerva, but to a period many thousands of years earlier than their previous visit. This is Voga, also known as the planet of gold as that metal can be found in abundance there. The three friends learn that a space plague has killed all but a handful of Nerva’s crew. A visiting civilian scientist named Kellman is in fact a traitor working with a group of Cybermen who want to destroy Voga as gold dust can coat their breathing apparatus and suffocate them. Can the Doctor stop them?

Silver Nemesis: The Doctor and Ace visit England in 1988, where three rival factions – the Cybermen, a group of Nazis and a 17th Century sorceress named Lady Peinforte – are attempting to gain control of a statue made of a living metal, validium, that was created by Rassilon as the ultimate defence for Gallifrey. Can the Doctor plays the three factions off against one other and eventually defeat to the Cyber Leader?

    -Watched some of the Silver Nemesis on youtube and believe me, I was convinced this is not the episode for my DVD rack. The Cybermen get practicly ASSAULTED AND SLAUGHTERED thruout the whole story, their ship gets blown up, Ace single handedly runs up and down the place and takes out the whole squad including the Leader, and the episode overall just puts them to shame they ARE the least imposing adversary and threat in this whole stroy. And they all get wiped out by the episodes end.
    Youve got Cybermen against humans, the Cybers are obsolete.

Iwas thinking of selling one copy but mom and dad said that it’s cheaper to getthe caves of androsarni and the movie seperate so for xmas I’m getting exactly that with some other stuff. :wink:

    “I watched revenge of the cybermen a few years ago when it repeated and it is brilliant! Cybermen stories are always four parts”
    Oh really? What about the Tenth Planet, the Moonbase, the Wheel in Space, the Invasion,SilverNemesis3parts, Cybusmen stories, Age of steel, Doomsday etc, The Next Doctor, and then they return in The Pandorica opens Series 5 finale, which is not four parts long either. Y’know, I dont think you could say they’re ALWAYS four parts long, but then most Dr Who storys are.

    “what would you recomend this or the beneath the surface boxset”
    WHATCHOOTALKINBOUT ? Two completely different boxsets, no one can tell you which of them to choose, and why cannot you just hav both, and really if you want to figure out which of them youd prefer, your better to do some research, the special feature-descriptions will be listed on most online stores, I recommend amazon for Dr Who DVDs, but NOT for action figures, the FP exclusives there are like 75 quid.

    I know what you mean like the invasion. Some of the parts were cartoonised. The invasion was 8 parts :shock:

    I think the missing episodes they ought to do cartoon.I think the celetial toymaker is the best story in lost for time,do you?

    seen them revenge is not my favorite but sliver nemisis is great

    This is a great DVD boxset and really worth getting. Revenge of the Cybermen is a wonderful early Fourth Doctor story with companions Sarah and Harry. Silver Nemesis with the Seventh Doctor and Ace was actually more entertaining than I remembered. The action scenes in particular are well done especially. Two fairly good Cybermen stories here, although what links them both is the fact they show Cybermen weakness to Gold more clearly in these two stories than in fact any other Cyber tales.
    Revenge of the Cybermen 4/5.
    Silver Nemesis 3/5.

    if anyone dosen’t know what the time ring is heres 2 things for you.

    1. it was used 2 or three times in genesis of the daleks to escape from skaro when davros or al the daleks were killed.

    2. it is not an actual ring it is more of a more lengthened bracelet


  31. Posted by: who crazy! July 25th, 2010 Reply

    SL on dvd they are putting a lost episode of the tenth planet! Probaly part 4.


  32. Posted by: SL July 23rd, 2010 Reply

    Moonbase, Tenth Planet and the Wheel in Space are about the only ones left to release unfortunately this seems a little unlikely :( Ah well we have these two new additions :smile:

    Im definately gettin this set 4 my birthday, I havent seen these stories , r they good?


  45. Posted by: bigbradwolf June 11th, 2010 Reply

    Oh they’re both great stories, really. I watched Revenge of the Cybermen to death on VHS as a kid, as it was the first released. Silver Nemesis is really peculiar and quite good, I think. One of McCoy’s better efforts.


  46. Posted by: Sontar 8 June 10th, 2010 Reply

    I think I’m definitley getting this.


  47. Posted by: Steven June 9th, 2010 Reply

    Revenge Of The Cybermen is a good old fashioned Cybermen romp, except the Cybermen aren’t seen much in the first part of the story and maybe the guns in the helmets wasn’t a good idea.
    Silver Nemesis has been called the weakest story in the 25th anniversary series and although this is true it still has some good bits, especially the “awakening” of Nemesis.


  48. Posted by: dalekship 101 June 9th, 2010 Reply

    I might get this :mrgreen:


  49. Posted by: Juddon Platoon June 8th, 2010 Reply
