9. The 2nd Doctor The Tomb Of The Cybermen
Our lives are different to anybody else's. That's the exciting thing, that nobody in the universe can do what we're doing. - The Doctor Although the Cybermen first appeared in the 1st Doctor story, The Tenth Planet, Im not including it here as it is one of the lost adventures due to the BBCs policy of wiping their archives in the 1970s. Sadly, many of Patrick Troughton's best stories were lost this way. The Tomb of the Cybermen has the Doctor and his companions, Jamie McCrimmon and Victoria Waterfield, joining an expedition to find the final resting place of the Cybermen. Little do they know its actually a trap, set by the Cybermen, to lure humans for conversion into an invasion force. This story features great performances from the main cast, and one of the best soundtracks of the Patrick Troughton era. The Tomb of the Cybermen contains the first appearance of both the Cybermats and the Cyber Controller, and is the first time the Doctor reveals his age. Boy does he look great for a man of four hundred and fifty years young!
