In
this classic episode from 1966 (Story #29), the Tardis and her crew -- The Doctor (William Hartnell in his last
regular appearance in the role) and his companions Ben and Polly (Michael Craze
and Anneke Wills) l-- are on the South Pole of the future (1986). The join a
scientific expedition that is studying the Earth’s long forgotten twin planet,
Mondas, home of one of the series most famous villains, The Cybermen. It’s
fascinating to watch the first doctor go toe-to-toe with the Cybermen in their
first incarnation, especially since this is one of the legendary lost episodes
of the series and episode 4 had to be recreated using existing sound and new
animation. The way the torch is passed form the first Doctor to his successor
is a bit outdated, but still fascinating.
