5.0 out of 5 stars One of the five best Who adventures ever made., 5 April 2000

By A Customer

Fantastic. Earthshock sees the return of the ruthless Cybermen after a notable absence from the series that they were once an obligatory staple. The plot is just so original (although the bomb loaded freighter crashing into a planet is straight out of Revenge of the Cybermen) and contains fresh new elements not seen before in a Who story. Beryl Reid as the captain was great, and Peter Davison gives a calibre of performance that would not be equaled until Caves of Androzani.The cliffhangers are superb, always the telltale sign of a great story, and the ending reasembles a weepie movie, with a main character (I won't say who) being blown into several small pieces. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I have something in my eye....

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Doctor Who stories of all time, 28 Mar 2002

By	martyb1981@hotmail.com (England) - See all my reviews

After reading some of the reviews on this site I wasn't too sure about purchasing this title but I am pleased I did! This has to be one of the very best Doctor Who stories ever! Fantastic acting and direction make this a must for any fan. The twists and turns in the story and the shocking ending are superbly handled and I would recommend this to anyone, even if you are not a regular viewer. Now if only the BBC still made quality programmes like this...

5.0 out of 5 stars A story that does deserve all five stars., 18 Jul 2000

By A Customer

This story was a rebirth for the series. The great early Tom Baker years were a distant memory and the series had been deteriorating for quite a while. Earthshock is the story where a great performance by Peter Davison establishes him without question as "the Doctor". The Cybermen return in rejuvenated form after a long absence and David Banks makes his first appearance in a role he was to make his own. The performances all round are excellent, the dialogue is some of the best and the ending is one of the greatest the series was to give us. This was the first truly great story J.N.T. was to produce and Eric Saward was to become probably the best writer the series had during its final decade. This was one of the great eighties stories.

This is another one of those stories that starts off so promisingly only to rapidly collapse into nonsense and tedium after the first episode. Read more
