Doctor Who: Revenge of the Cybermen: Part 3 starts with the revelation that the Cybermen didn't kill the Doctor (Tom Baker) but just knocked him unconscious, with their plan to blow up Voga because of it's gold which is fatal to Cybermen revealed the Doctor, Commander Stevenson (Ronald Leigh-Hunt) & Lester (William Marlowe) have Cyberbombs strapped to their back & transported down to the surface of Voga to plant them. Meanwhile Sarah (Elisabeth Sladen) & Harry (Ian Marter) have managed to convince the Vogans to work together to try & destroy the Cybermen threat but is it already too late...
This Doctor Who adventure was episode 19 from season 12 that aired here in the UK during mid 1975, directed by Michael E. Briant I personally think Revenge of the Cybermen is a cracking story despite it's bad reputation. The script by Gerry Davis was originally titled Return of the Cybermen & was to take place almost entirely on the Nerva Beacon before script editor Robert Holmes stepped in & changed the title & rewrote it to include the subplot about the Vogans, in my opinion I think the story works very well & has moved along like a rocket although I wish the Cybermen were involved a bit more. I liked the way some of the character's have developed here & there's been a couple of decent twists. This is good fun & highly entertaining to watch.
This has looked really good with nice production values including some atmospheric location shooting in some natural caves near Wells in Somerset called Wookey Hole which are apparently haunted by a witch, rumour has it strange things beset the production including Elisabeth Sladen almost drowning after having to jump off one of those boat things & an electrician who suffered a broken leg in an accident. Spooky eh?
Revenge of the Cybermen is a great Doctor Who story that I've enjoyed a lot, what more can I say if you get the opportunity & you like good natured sci-fi fun then check it out.
