Revenge of the Cybermen (VHS)

In 1983, Revenge of the Cybermen was released on VHS.

Cover blurb
From the longest running science fiction series in the world emerged a golden age of classic monsters - memorable grotesques such as the Daleks, Ice Warriors, Mandrels, Nimons... and Cybermen!

It all began in another time, in another world, the far-off planet of Gallifrey, home of the Time Lords. Among that super race was Dr. Who, who stole a Tardis and, with his grand-daughter, fled his home planet. Since that time circumstances have forced the Doctor to regenerate into several different bodies. Now in his 4th regeneration, Dr. Who (Tom Baker) launches into one of the greatest trans-dimensional experiences the series has ever known - the Revenge of the Cybermen!

As the time ring takes the intrepid travellers back to Nerva, the Ark in Space, they find the Tardis has drifted back a few thousand years in time. Only four people are left alive on the space ship, survivors of a mysterious and deadly plague, carried by the rat-like mechanical Cybermats. What else will the Cybermen destroy in their poisonous bid to take over the galaxy?

Cover blurb
Arriving on the Nerva Beacon, hoping to find the TARDIS waiting for them, the Doctor, Sarah and Harry find the space station in the grip of a deadly plague that has wiped out most of its crew. But the Doctor soon comes to suspect that the 'plague' is no natural illness - and that some of his oldest and most fearsome foes are behind it...

The beacon has been set up to warn space traffic of a new satellite orbiting Jupiter, but one craft is taking no notice of the order to stay clear - a Cybership. The satellite is Voga, Planet of Gold, home to the seemingly harmless Vogans - but why are the Cybermen so determined to destroy it?

Without the TARDIS, the Doctor is unable to return Sarah and Harry to the 20th Century. But then Sarah falls victim to the mystery virus, and unless the Doctor can find a cure - quickly - she will never make it home at all...

''Featuring superb location work in Wookey Hole, this action-packed adventure saw a whole new look for the Cybermen. It was originally broadcast 19 April - 10 May 1975.''
