Review
This is the earliest serial recovered from the Second Doctor's era (Subsequently being the only Season 5 story along with 1 of 2 Cybermen stories recovered-The other being The Invasion) Anyway, the story is simple enough, with allright acting, decent sets (And a laughable effect in Episode Two), and good Cybermen. They really are threatning, compared to the recent ones. As a matter of fact, this is the first appearance of the Cybermats and the Cyber Controller. Troughton does a good job here, consoling Victoria and manipulating the expedition of open the controls. All in all, it's a decent adventure as it entertains you just enough.
Overall, I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
