Season 22, Story 1/6, Serial 6T: 2 x 45min episodes, 5th and 12th January 1985, Writer: "Paula Moore" (Eric Saward), Director: Matthew Robinson, Script Editor: Eric Saward, Producer: John Nathan-Turner
Ah, by Paula Moore. Well, that's that controversy settled, then!
Sewers! Like wot the Cybermen were down in The Invasion!
If they carried on towards St. Paul's in 2014 there'd be Cybermen above them too!
"This is a hoary old one." Blimey, give it a chance, it's only been on a few seconds!
Two workmen take an ill advised trip into the sewers but are soon polished off by an unseen lurker...
So here's that new Doctor, on air for the first time in 9 months. And he's still wearing that coat. Oh.
The Doctor is trying to repair the chameleon circuit in between some important shouting...
...and apple thievery.
He objects to being called a stable, but proceeds to shout himself horse. (Hoarse? Get it? I'm so sorry).
"Rest is for the weary, sleep is for the dead!"
The mentions of Jaconda imply this happens more or less straight after the Twin Dilemma.
He definitely *is* unstable, and he's not too hot at flying the TARDIS either.
Here's that Lytton who used to work for the Daleks, planning to rob some tasty diamonds with some right planks. Where are his policemen?
Lytton's combed his hair and got a very 80s suit. Davros has scrubbed up a bit too.
The Doctor shows Peri Halley's Comet and the scanner screen plays a nice little ringtone for it.
The Doctor claims to have "perfect rapport" with the TARDIS, Peri snivels about being too close to the comet. Back seat driver.
Mark Walker @Mark_Walker · a bit too Tegan-esque there.
Love the Halley's Comet music, but Lytton's theme etc undermines how grittily the gang stuff is shot. Great on film but scored like a joke.
Lytton's gang are not too pleased at the prospect of robbing the bank from beneath.
50dw50 @50dw50 · wonder if they had a choice from above, between, below? Ah, there's the coppers. 
Peri says Halley's Comet is associated with impending disaster. Isn't that just all comets? And isn't it a rather medieval superstition anyway?
Lytton has set a distress call to beam into space. The TARDIS picks it up.
Still stuck in the TARDIS and not really getting involved in the story but at least the distress signal has prompted the Doctor into action now. Slow scripting though.
The Doctor & Peri arrive at Totter's lane, which appears to have regenerated...
Ah, Steptoe.
The coat really is ridiculous. It was a mistake to keep it after The Twin Dilemma.
Colin's so totally in control though, and it's not just arrogance as often cited. He's purposeful & strong in body & mind, with that power Pertwee & Tom had, plus Hartnell's cantankerousness.
For all the faults of the era, and this specific script, Colin himself is fantastic... a titanic effort against all the odds stacked against him. A lesser man would have failed at this.

Tim @parks8472 · I like Colin Baker as the Doctor, but the coat gives me a headache50dw50 @50dw50 · actually its supposed to be unpopular but its a cosplay favouriteAt least the Doctor & Peri have been allowed out of the TARDIS relatively early on in this story.
The malfunctioning chameleon circuit is enjoyable as a novelty for 1 story; as such it's fine here.
The Lytton gang descend...
...while the Doctor and Peri take to the streets. Yes, he goes out in public in that coat.
They're clocked by some familiar bobbies...
Davros whinges about Lytton's out of date map.
Lol at Peri jumping up to get his attention.
Poor Nicola's definitely stuck in one of the "for the dad's" outfits this time out.
But a lovely bit of teamwork on the deductive reasoning there; a great Doctor/Peri scene.
The sewer lurker starts to pick off Lytton's gang... Payne's polished off in a garish brown and purple splodge. What a rotten effect.
Look at the Doctor fiddling with his organ!
Peri scolds the Doctor for playing with his organ? Okay, I'm done.
The Doctor goofs around...
...but Lytton's coppers lie in wait.
As the Doctor sinks to their level...
...here's mud in your eye from Peri.
The Doctor's still playing silly beggars, though, and Peri nearly shoots him for his troubles!
Not keen on the Doctor waving the gun about but I think Colin's Doctor pulls it off alright.
Lytton seems to have some ulterior motive for bringing Davros & Mr. Sugden into the sewers...
The Doctor and Peri are hot on Lytton's smelly trail, but the lurker has clocked them.
That's actually not a bad place for the artifical end of part 1 in the 25 minute version, but surely the appearance of the Cybermen here was just that bit better only a few seconds later.
Spotting a figure in the dark, Lytton, Davros and Griffiths are... er... attacked by Cybermen.
Davros, as into racial purity as ever, tries to off the black Cyberman, the big ol' racist.
Then he does one, while Lytton backs Griffiths on to his mark. "What's your game, Lytton? Buckaroo? Hungry, Hungry Hippos?"
The 80s Cybermen are back, same design as the last 2 appearances.
The Doctor and Peri find something nasty in the sewers. No, no that, it's Payne's body.
Lytton claims to have sought out the Cyberleader to help him & that he brought Brian Glover as fodder.
Darth Cyberleader tells Lytton the (still living) Controller's on Telos...
So we're going with the "Tell-os" pronunciation this time it seems.
...and we go into what is clearly another episode with a total change of scene and new characters.
It's actually *still* structured like a 4 x 25min story, isn't it?
Who are these guys? Don't seem too pleasant, even if they have been enslaved by the Cybermen.
Hang on, the Cybermen have slaves now instead of just making more Cybermen? Erm, okay...
Jason McLaughlin @jangomac72 ·See it's those kind of things that convinces me Levine didn't write this at all, he just came up with rough plot outline.
Why leave them with so much independence of thought? Stupid thing to do.
Davros sticks a gun in the Doctor's face. Payback for Resurrection.
The terminally unlikeable Stratton and Bates argue violently (is there any other way of arguing in season 22?).
"You said you came from Fulham." Brilliant line. Brian Glover's wonderful in this, gives much-needed reality.
Having escaped the chain gang, Stratton and Bates set course for Cyber Control...
...where the Controller seems to have spent the last 18 years on the old cyber-pies.
By the way, check out the Controller's PA. Some serious costume cockup with his neck, that appears to make the head lean to one side and there's a big ball of duct tape holding his neck together on one side.
Wonder if poor old Toberman's skeleton is there outside Cyber-control.
The Doctor gets the drop on Davros, just for a change.
"Yeah, shoot him." I know he's not serious... is he?
It's fine, but Saward hasn't really built up enough trust in the new Doctor for us to be sure he doesn't mean it. Okay, maybe we're supposed to have some doubts, but about killing someone?
Mark Walker @Mark_Walker I always think the 'non-violent Doctor' idea is ridiculous anyway
Jason McLaughlin @jangomac72 Indeed no one bats an eye at Tom being ultra violent in Seeds of Doom & other 70s faves
The Space Pirate Invisible Enemy shocked the heck out of me in this regard on a recent rewatch...
Jason McLaughlin @jangomac72 Same argument goes for Pertwee too who could be just as violent with his Venusian karate.
Mark Walker @Mark_Walker I so want Capaldi to bring back Venusian martial arts!
Hartnell's Doctor also trained the Mountain Mauler of Montana. Apparently.
Davros claims Lytton is an uneducated, uninsured driving, tax dodger.
"Perhaps it's the old Bill - they'll soon sort out this fancy dress party!" Everyone's come as David Banks.
That's a double fist-clench from the Cyberleader so you know he means business.
Bates & Stratton finally get their knock-off Cyber-head, but it's not exactly MIB. Needs scooping out first. Yuck.
The Doctor decides to use his new snazzy new sonic lance on a bumbling Cyber-guard.
It's no screwdriver, but it gets the job done.
"Getting-a-bit-rough-is-it?" Quality stuff from Glover.
The Cyberleader's doing Brian's head in.
Lytton makes an extraordinary leap of logic assuming the lance belongs to the Doctor, doesn't he?
I mean, he's right, but it's a guess and nothing more. At least the cold, emotionless Cyberleader's happy.
Now the Cybermen can break into the TARDIS...
...and people can fire guns there willy nilly.
Pierre Sigman @DWfan9· wasn't there supposed to be something called temporal grace?
50dw50 @50dw50 · she went on to have an orbit in the 8th Doctor movie #LameJoke
The Lytton gang descend...
...while the Doctor and Peri take to the streets. Yes, he goes out in public in that coat.
The Doctor's had a slip of the tongue over Zodin. Well.
They're clocked by some familiar bobbies...

A Cyberman karate chops Davros, breaking his neck...
...and everyone says "No!" eleventy billion times. "No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!" Cliffhanger to part 1 of ATTACK OF THE CYBERMEN or worst orgasm ever? You decide.
Seems like Cyberleaders come with predictive/template speech patterns and recycle stock phrases: "What should we do to her?" "Destroy her!" "When should we destroy her?" "Destroy her at once!"
The Space Pirate @SpacePirateOz · *Cringe* Saward's idea of dramatic scripting....
You know, before I saw it again many years after the original broadcast I had a weird false memory of having seen a *red* Cyberman in this story. With hindsight I believe I'd muddled up a red Tripod.
A gargantuan recap sees Davros get paid for 2 episodes, even though he's dead before episode 2 really kicks in!
The Doctor presses the self-destruct button. Off-screen, Michael Grade chuckles. "Good... good..."
Mark Walker @Mark_Walker super advanced Timelord technology uses BBC micro computers apparently!
These Cybermen are time travellers, having captured a time vessel that crashed on Telos. That was lucky.
50dw50 @50dw50 · Not for the pilots!
And now, people stand around and discuss continuity.
The Fat Controller and his PA are quite hard to understand. Pair of mumblers.
The Doctor knows of Telos *before* the Cybermen arrived. Interesting...
"I'm not interested in the Cryons."
"There's compassion for you..."
Meanwhile, Stratton and Bates are still striking a blow for tediousness.
The Doctor's managed to steer the TARDIS off course. Because it normally steers perfectly, doesn't it?
So the Cryons, native to Telos, had to build refrigerated cities for themselves? Eh? How did they evolve?
James Smith @thejimsmith · Maybe, like us, they raised the temperature of their originally cold planet accidentally through industrial catastrophe. And the cities were built later, to cope with their own version of global warming.
The Cryons have even hired Lytton because they can't survive the temperatures of their own planet.
Gareth Kavanagh @Garethothevworp · I admire the lateral thinking on display. Not your usual response to that situation!
Shouldn't they be Telosians or something anyway? Mind you, we're not Earthons or anything.
Oh. The Tombs have had a bit of a makeunder...
Lytton claims it's the "sour, rank odour of death." Nice try, we know it was you.
One of the malfunctioning tomb inhabitants attacks, and Peri's able to do a runner.
Peri is rescued by the Cryons. Right ropey designs.
Now it turns out Lytton was actually working for the Cryons all along & just used the Cybermen to get here.
The Doctor is locked in a cell...
Eric breathes a sigh of relief as he's finally able to sideline Colin's Doctor & concentrate on Lytton. Colin continues to be a wonderful Doctor, no matter how much Saward tries to sideline him.
When Flast starts with "you're the first company I've had in ages..." you do wonder what she has in mind.
Here are some fake diamonds Sarah Greene made earlier... #BluePeterBadge
Ugh. No sympathy whatsoever for Stratton and/or Bates.
Peri awakes to the icy fingers of the Cryons...
Not sure they should really have entirely robotic limbs. Too close to turning them into robots, not cyborgs.
Again some nice little glimpses of Peri being smarter than people think when she susses the Cryons. She's rumbled that the Cryons already know Lytton. Why did that need to be a secret?
Saward's (wet) dream team of Lytton, Griffiths, Stratton & Bates head to Cyber control...
Another great 'railing at the sky' scene of the Doctor shouting at unseen Time-Lords. Holmes' influence?
Seems as though the Doctor expects them to be monitoring him, to see these events so why's he so surprised about it when they do so for his trial the next year? Maybe he knows they monitor stuff live but didn't expect it to be recorded in the Matrix? Seems a bit naive.
Lytton's been nabbed, the other 3 carry on without him...
The Doctor & Flast have been locked in a room filled with explosives. Of course. Flast holds the key: The explosives will ignite at 10 degrees above freezing. Good job Lytton gave him his sonic lance back, then, isn't it?
Lytton is captured and tortured; the Cybermen crush his hands and cause him to lose consciousness. Cos y'know, that way he can answer their questions.
Not sure the Cybermen needed to crush Lytton's hands but also don't feel it's as bad as it's made out to be. Guess by today's standards it simply isn't considered realistic enough to cause distress. Lack of sound FX makes a difference?
The shot of him curled up on the floor after might be a bit much.
It's only a model.
Peri & the Cryons (great band name) bump into the Doctor and he learns Lytton isn't the villain he thought.
The rubbish cyber torturers now try to get Flast to talk - by boiling her to death. They really don't get it, do they? They're too late and all, she's planted the sonic lance in the explosives...
Stratton, Bates & Griffiths are all killed as they reach Cyber-control. So that was a massive waste of time.
The Doctor makes a short hop in the TARDIS to save Lytton...
The TARDIS is a police box again but Lytton's half Cyberman & begging to be killed.
The Controller rolls in...
50dw50 @50dw50 · actual cyberconversion, its odd how the series has often avoided the cybermens most scary activity
Yes, also they seem to have lost the focus on surviving in the new series, just swelling the ranks with no other real plan.
Lytton stabs the Cybercontroller. He picked the wrong day to start his diet.
M.R. Michael @The_Cybermatt · Never figured you for a back-shooter.
Ringo's revenge against the Fat Controller!
The Doctor ducks, letting 2 Cybermen shoot each other...
..then picks up a gun to finish off the Controller.
Lytton's had it though, killed by the Controller.
The Cybermen find the sonic lance too late - "leg it, leg it!!"
Cyber Control is obliterated; the Doctor & Peri escape in the TARDIS.
And another massacre to finish a Saward story. Surprise surprise. Sorry, I meant Paula Moore, obviously.
Odd, downbeat ending which they try to get out of with an odd, whistful sort-of smile. Weird.
Okay, you wouldn't end on a gag, but even so, total downer.
Patrick Byrne @mynamespat · I was waiting for Ringo Starr to narrate the end of the story.
TTFN! K.

Now the Doctor's accusing Flast of being responsible for the stench of death.
The Cybermen intend to change history and prevent Mondas blowing up. Sure the Time Lords won't mind.
The Cybermen will destroy Telos when they leave to prevent Mondas' destruction. All going to pile into that one ship?

I've seen a number of comments about the TARDIS' "state of temporal grace" being missing. You'll find your answer in the Tom Baker story The Invasion of Time, where it was actually disabled by the slimy Timelord Castellan Kelner while working with the Sontarans. At least, that's how i remember it happening, yet no one around the web seems to have noticed this, including BBC Doctor Who Classic pages. Since i don't have a copy of this story, i can't go back and prove it...
