The Fourth Doctor and the Seventh Doctor do battle with the deadly Cybermen
in these two classic adventures, including Doctor Who's 25th anniversary
celebration story!
This 2 DVD set includes Silver Nemesis, starring Sylvester McCoy as the
Seventh Doctor, and Revenge of the Cybermen, starring Tom Baker as the Fourth
Doctor.
In Revenge of the Cybermen (1975), the Time Lords' Time Ring
takes the Doctor, Sarah and Harry back to the Nerva Beacon space-station, but to
a period many thousands of years earlier than their previous visit (The Ark in
Space). There, the Cybermen are preparing an elaborate plan to destroy Voga –
the fabled Planet of Gold – which was crucial to stopping them in their last
war against humanity… Sarah ends up poisoned by a Cybermat, while the Doctor
is forced to carry a planet-cracking Cyberbomb.
In Silver Nemesis (1988), the Doctor and Ace visit England
in 1988, where three rival factions – the Cybermen, a group of surviving
Nazis, and a 17th Century sorceress named Lady Peinforte – are attempting to
gain control of a statue made of a living metal, validium, that was created by
Rassilon as the ultimate defence for Gallifrey. But the Doctor knows a lot more
than he's letting on – and so does Lady Peinforte, who has found out the
secret answer to the ultimate question: Doctor who?
These two stories fill in key pieces of Doctor Who history – the first
sighting of the Cybermen's vulnerability to gold, and the first
acknowledgement of the scale of the Doctor's great secret… which is now
paying off yet again twenty-five years later.
