Tomb of the Cybermen by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis 


Tomb of the Cybermen saw the third appearance of the Cybermen and the the first appearance of the Cyber Controller and the Cyber - Mats. It leads on straight away from The Evil of the Daleks which means this is Victoria Waterfield's first episode.

Tomb of the Cybermen is known to the fans as a Classic Story. It does go on to impress, the Cybermen don't seem to kill very much however.
