Product Description

The TARDIS is lured to Earth in 1985 by a distress call sent by Lytton, who has made contact with a group of Cybermen based in London's sewers. The Doctor and Peri are then captured and forced to take Lytton and the Cybermen in the TARDIS to the Cybermen's home planet Telos. The Cybermen have stolen a time vessel from another race and plan to change history by crashing Halley's Comet into Earth and obliterating it before it can bring about the demise of their original home world, Mondas, in 1986.

4.0 out of 5 stars Action and humour nicely combined. 16 Mar 2009
By I. R. Kerr TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Amazon Verified Purchase
Be aware that this is a single disc release not 2 as stated in the description but there are still plenty extras included here, enough for most tastes.
The story has quite a few strands working together the Cybermen trying to use Halley's comet to destroy the Earth, prisoners on Telos trying to steal a ship to escape, a fake bank robbery and Telos' original inhabitants the Cryons seeking revenge on the Cybermen. Not all of these work to the same standard and the first episode is generally viewed as being the better of the two.
Like many people I did not take to the Cryons at all, that might have changed if they were filmed as they were originally conceived but to me they just look silly but the chunky Cyber-controller makes up for some of that disappointment.
With decent actors like Maurice Colbourne and a nice vein of humour largely focused through Brian Glover, both of whom are now sadly deceased, oh and Peri's pink outfit which is fairly well discussed in the very interesting commentary by Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, Terry Molloy and Sarah Berger who reveal many things including that there was an underwear thief at the BBC at that time.
The extras include a documentary about the making of the show which highlights the disagreements over several plot areas. It was meant to be slightly more violent, the Cryons were written as males, there's even dispute over who was responsible for coming up with the actual plot itself.
There's a nice look at the history of the Cybermen that examines how the design has changed over the years as budgets increased and a brief look at the possible future of cybernetic implants in humans.
As a whole it's a pretty decent package and one that I will be watching fairly often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Cybermen!! 8 Feb 2010
Attack of the Cybermen has to be my favorite of the original series Cyber stories.

New, slightly "unstable" Doctor played beautifully by Colin Baker and supported by a great cast of strong actors.

The strength of the Cybermen really comes together well in this as does the constant referrals to people, adventures and times gone by.

The repair of the Camelion circuit and the arrival in Foremans scrap yard are a highlight as is the takeover of the Tardis by the Cybermen.

The only letdowns are the costuming of the Cryons and a somewhat "well fed" Cyber Controller, however don't let this deter you as this is a classic well worth your time and effort!

Plenty of extras on this dvd. overall an EXCELLENT buy!Doctor Who - Attack of the Cybermen [DVD] [1985]

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable though flawed Colin Baker story 16 April 2009
Whilst not the best Colin Baker story (that would be Revelation of the Daleks by a long way), it still is very enjoyable. Colin was my favourite Doctor after Tom and he's on fine form here. The story is definitely stronger during the first episode with some nice atmospheric sewer scenes.

The return of the Cybermen is welcome though the inclusion of the Cyber Controller seems contrived and superfluous, they should have stuck with the Cyber Leader as the principle antagonist. Lytons character seems curiously at odds with how he acted in Resurrection of the Daleks, I find it hard to believe that he was acting out of altruism and not self-interest during this story.

But despite these short-comings it's still fun to watch. 6/10
