"Doctor Who" is a classic science-fiction series with a cult following. The Doctor is called a "Time Lord," a time-traveling scientist from a far-off planet who travels through time and space in a shop known by the acronym TARDIS. A TARDIS is a machine that is larger on the inside than the outside and is supposed to change its appearance based on its surroundings. The Doctor is also able to evolve his biology, so he appears as many different people throughout the series. The Doctor loves Earth, so he makes many trips here to save the planet, or to enlist earthlings to help him with tasks in the galaxy.

Christopher Bahn AV Club I really don't want to get too down on "Tomb," in large part because I think Patrick Troughton's Doctor is basically the definitive version, and so much of what makes his character work well is on display here. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Cameron K. McEwan GQ Magazine [UK] "The Wheel In Space" is a hugely underwhelming return for new bad boys, the Cybermen. We're surprised they were actually brought back after this stodge. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Mark Braxton Radio Times The Tomb of the Cybermen does deserve its reputation. Rated: 5/5 Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Charlie Jane Anders io9.com Patrick Troughton may well have been the best Doctor of them all - but most of his best stories were junked, and we only have snippets. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Arnold T. Blumberg IGN Movies In addition to showcasing another of the show's greatest monsters, this story - a sort of pastiche of Hammer horror with a sci-fi sheen - gives Second Doctor Patrick Troughton some wonderful, emotive moments.

Wolfgang B Troughton's strongest season even if it doesn't feature many of his strongest stories Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Another absolutely brilliant season that I find hard to flaw, and every story is so well crafted. We're particularly treated with the later realized gem 'The Enemy of the World', but also some the horrific masterpieces in the form of 'The Tomb of the Cybermen', 'The Web of Fear' and 'Fury from the Deep', and of course my favorite story of the season starring the late great Peter Sallis 'The Ice Warriors'. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best seasons from classic doctor who Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member With a second season under his belt, Troughton has shown himself capable of taking on the role of the Doctor and making it his own. He has saved the future of this show. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Can get really boring, but still has charming characters and funny moments as well as good action. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member "Dr. Who" is undoubtedly the best series of the 60s and one of the best science fiction series ever, each episode better than the other and each season better than the other, and the concept of time travel and space. without a doubt fantastic. Highly recommend. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
