Product Description
It is 1986, and Earth's sister planet has come home, bringing with it the emotionless, unstoppable Cybermen. At the Snowcap base in Antarctica, the invasion begins, but the Cybermen have not reckoned on the First Doctor and his companions. However, the Doctor's body seems to be wearing a bit thin...

Having splashed out on this Doctor Who VHS, I realised that the fourth part of the story was missing when I recieved it. But the reconstructed version was not disappointing, the constant flash of Images that they used with the remaining soundtrack of the episode still pulls you in and gives you the idea of what's going on. Luckily the final scene when The Doctor regenerates still remains, so you still get to see the classic departure of the first ever doctor William Hartnell and the first glimpse of the second doctor, Patrick Troughton.

The Tenth Planet is one of the best Doctor Who stories ever. It features the first ever appearance of the Cybermen and the first regeneration. Although the fourth and final episode of this story is lost, the regeneration sequance still remains, thanks goodness. If you are a fan of Doctor Who, or the Cybermen then spash out and buy this video-you will not be dissapointed.

I never thought that I would ever buy another VHS cassette but until 2entertain release the story on DVD (they tell me they have plans to but no set release date yet) then this is the only way to see The Tenth Planet.
Fortunately I still have a player set up, so having recently become a fan of this era of the series I had to buy it and was lucky enough to find a new one, which was still sealed.
As most people know, the story features the debut of the Cybermen and the departure of William Hartnell.
The restoration team make a good job of "reconstructing" the missing episode 4 (apart from one telesnap in the wrong place) and there were more actual clips than I realised existed.
Companions Ben and Polly see plenty of action, which is great as I've become a big fan. (Ben gets more screen time than originally intended because WH wasn't able to film episode 3 due to ill health).
The Cyberman are much better than those in the series now. They look really good and the voices (mostly provided by Roy Skelton, who passed away last week) are brilliant. You can really believe that this is what humanity could become and I imagine that viewers found the concept quite chilling in 1966.
Fortunately most of the very first regeneration scene still exists (although it was some years before the term was used). A really novel idea that showed how ahead of its time the series was. Viewers must have wondered what on earth was happening (but they only had a week to find out).
