The Tomb of the Cybermen was actually the first classic
episode I ever saw and despite the fact that it briefly fooled me into
believing that I didn’t really like the classic female companions at all, it is
one of my favourite episodes. Patrick Troughton is captivating as the Doctor,
he is silly and serious in perfect harmony and his devotion to his companions
is palpable. Most of all though, it is his mind that I admire, he watches the
people around him with equal parts curiosity and suspicion and isn’t afraid to
do what needs to be done.
